Music notes: Homesafe, InsideOut rock the Beat Kitchen
Homesafe at Beat Kitchen
Oak Lawn rock band Homesafe has only been playing together since 2014, but the trio - Ryan Rumchaks, Tyler Albertson and Emanuel Duran - has managed to strike a balance between frenetic punk and polished rock. They're teaming with high-energy Schaumburg pop rockers InsideOut; Nice Things, a solid alternative band with shades of Chicago's indie sound; and Cary pop-punk foursome Coastlines to blow the doors off Beat Kitchen. 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, at Beat Kitchen, 2100 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago. $8. (773) 281-4444 or beatkitchen.com.
