SECRET AGENT BILL***formed in 1995 in a Chicago North Side basement, S.A.B. have since went on to tour the country with the likes of George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic, The Dickies, The Tossers, Dr. Chud (ex-Misfits), and Shot Baker. S.A.B. has played nearly every venue in Chi-Town (House of Blues, Fireside Bowl, Empty Bottle, Abbey Pub, Double Door, Beat Kitchen, Cubby Bear, Congress Theater, Windy City Hemp Fest, etc...), as well as national hot spots such as the now defunct CBGB's in New York City. S.A.B.'s catchy mix of Chicago style fast/melodic punk rock, blended with diverse elements such as folk, metal, reggae, and more are presented in an entertaining manner that captivates audiences and frightens old people and small children. Along the way, S.A.B. has played with the likes of AFI, Rise Against, Murphy's Law, Streetlight Manifesto, Voodoo Glow Skulls, DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill, New Bomb Turks, Misfits, Naked Raygun, 7Seconds, The Effigies, Mustard Plug, The Exploited, U.S. Bombs, 88 Fingers Louie, Unwritten Law, The Broadways, Agent Orange, Good Riddance, Appleseed Cast, The Business, Blue Meanies, The Independents, NIL8, Clit 45, Psyopus, The Makers, and too many other bands to list.....
S.A.B. have also established endorsements with EV (Electro Voice), Washburn Guitars, Everly Strings, and Coffin Case. Secret Agent Bill's song "Outside" can also be heard in the 2006 Playstation Portable (PSP) football video game "BLITZ: OVERTIME". Because of Secret Agent Bill's many talents and charismatic aura, the group has also landed sponsors such as Q101 (101.1-FM), WXRT (93.1-FM), Sauza Tequila, Hard Rock Cafe, and many more.....Anybody that has seen S.A.B. perform live will tell you how fucking badass they are....'Nuff said!
