The band consist of Chris Pickering on bass, Jason Kelly on drums, Jake Pepper on guitar, and Heather Strange on synth. They travel with their own fog machine and lightening rig to make sure their show is like no other!
“We’re usually the oddballs out at shows,” Pickering confesses about playing live. “We set up all these lights and we have all this stuff—we don’t just wear our street clothes on stage, we dress-up and we dance around and hope you dance too.”
And that’s no exaggeration. Future Punx put on a killer live show that you most definitely will not want to miss!
