Ground Control Touring's fourth annual Abortion Access Benefit Series landed at Lodge Room on January 24th, raising funds for reproductive justice organizations including ACCESS Reproductive Justice and the Chicago Abortion Fund, with 100% of proceeds going to NOISE FOR NOW. The night was one of four simultaneous benefit shows across the country, with sister events in New York, Austin, and Chicago.
Hosted by Syd and Olivia, the night moved through eight acts — Diners, Emory, Harmony Tividad (of Girlpool), Kid Sistr, Starling, and Urika's Bedroom — spanning indie, folk, and beyond, with the crowd staying locked in from start to finish. Mind's Eye closed out the night as the undeniable highlight: self-described as "kinda like the Beatles if Yoko was a goth Latina," their live show delivers on every bit of that energy. Frontman Vince came off the stage and danced with the crowd, swapped heartbreak stories, and had the room laughing and dancing in equal measure.
