East of Vilas
11 A.M. – 1 P.M. – East Of Vilas Live Performance
800 Langdon St, Memorial Union Terrace
East of Vilas is a Madison-based band that seamlessly blends rock, indie, and funk influences. Originally forming in the basement of a UW dorm in 2020, the band currently writes and records music in their living room-turned-home studio near Madison’s Vilas neighborhood. Connection and collaboration are core to the band’s philosophy, and they owe much to the rich community of artists that surrounds them in Madison and beyond. With a sound that’s optimistic and innovative, warm and nostalgic, East of Vilas balances humor with sincerity, seeking to push boundaries while acknowledging their roots.
