The members of 1349 met in 1989. The drummer wanted to start a band since he was in high school. 1349 began performing at Diva, a local bar. The Benagls heavily influenced the early work of the group.

1349's newest record is the group's first project since the band broke up five years ago. The group has just finished their most current release, and they are plotting their next move already. 1349 hope this next tour brings in more fans than ever.

Often times, critics have commended 1349 for their playfulness with the crowd at live performances. Frank Slatter, a music critic from Ann Arbor, has always been pleased with band’s back to basics sound. 1349’s newest album is the group’s best reviewed project yet.

1349 was offered a record contract after their single was heard on X89.1. The members of the group all quit their other jobs to focus on their music. 1349 signed the record deal, and fully expected that they would last past the first album. Now the group play in plays in sold out arenas across the States.

The group loves playing in Chicago because they have never failed to sell out a how in the city. 1349’s tickets and latest concert information are available on TheSeats.com, along with the complete tour schedule for the group.
