The Official Blog!


Welcome to the official Chill City Icon blog where you will find information pertaining to the group such as footage, images, and upcoming shows. Chill City Icon is an experimental noise, electro-acoustic duo, along with a live artist, based out of Lowell, MA. Our intent is not to create musical compositions, but rather a cacophony of sounds produced by a rhythmic collaborative between Travis Hagan and Kevin Dacey, which are structured in a formula that may stimulate or disrupt the senses. The methods to achieve such sounds for Chill City Icon are varied, and the use of custom built electronics are used in order to create the sounds necessary for each performance. During every set the artist, Brett Mason, will draw or paint based on the audible sensations that occurs around him. Nothing is ever planned, the art reflects the fleeting moments of sound, creating a visual dialogue with every set that is played. 

More information will be posted soon. For now heres is some news for the future!

We are working on a cassette release with a collection of recordings from recent shows so stay tuned for that!

We also have a show at Chailey Mansion in Newburyport on Sunday December 29 at 3:00 and 6:00.
