Future Rock

**Future Rock** is a Chicago-based electronic rock trio known for their high-energy fusion of live instruments and pulsating synth grooves. Formed in the early 2000s, the band—Mickey Kellerman (keys/synths), Felix Moreno (bass), and Darren Heitz (drums)—built a reputation for turning dance floors into immersive audiovisual experiences. Their sound, a kinetic blend of rock riffs and electronic beats, has made them favorites in the jam band and festival circuits, with tracks like “Gears” and “Sugar Coated Bullets” showcasing their knack for gritty, groove-driven hooks.

Over the years, Future Rock has dropped electrifying live releases like *Live In Wicker Park* and *Daft Rock Live*, capturing their knack for improvisation and crowd-fueled energy. Recent singles such as “Long Ago” and “Nights” highlight their evolution toward tighter, melody-forward production while staying true to their dance-rock roots. Whether headlining clubs or collaborating with acts like Umphrey’s McGee, they’ve kept their mission simple: make people move.
