Chatham Rise

Chatham Rise is a Psychedelic/Shoegaze/Space Rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota that has recently wrapped up their third full-length LP, Trillium, released Fall 2025 with Infinite Spin Records.

Chatham Rise have been lucky enough throughout their career to have shared the stage with bands such as My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus & Mary Chain, LUNA, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spectrum, LOOP, Rain Parade, Black Mountain, Temples, The Chills, The Horrors, and more. The band members are all huge music fans, so being able to play live along with their favorite bands is the ultimate experience and compliment.

Chatham Rise were a 2014 SXSW Official Showcasing Artist, playing the Levitation showcase with The Black Lips, Temples, Blouse, No Joy, GOASTT, Bo Ningen, Holy Wave, and more. The band also played the 2015 Desert Stars Festival along with Rain Parade, Swervedriver, Dead Meadow, Alex Maas (of Black Angels), Lou Barlow, and more and performed at the 2013 Austin Psych Fest Pre-party with Rain Parade, Allah-las, Fairfield Parlour and more, Milwaukee Psych Fest in 2013, 2017, and was second billing on the first evening of MPF in 2023.

Chatham Rise played their first gig at 7th St Entry in the summer of 2010 and the very next day went out on the road, ending their run at the first Deep Heaven Now Festival in Boston, where they were able to play with and see many of their favorite bands perform.

The single leading into the Trillium LP Release, "Angus Says", features guest vocals from Paula Kelley of legendary Boston shoegaze band, Drop Nineteens. "Angus Says" has now been played on radio stations around the world, from Seattle to Rome to Plovdiv to Greensboro to Hong Kong to Los Angeles to Thessaloniki to Hermosillo to Minneapolis. "Angus Says" has been in the regular rotation at 89.3 The Current since October and was on the ballot for the Top 89 Songs of 2025.

The new record Trillium also features guest guitar from Mark Refoy (Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Slipstream) on "Riddle Remix" and guitar from our good friend Josh Richardson of Flavor Crystals on "Here She Comes". Trillium has charted at a few U.S. stations since its release and was on the ballot at KEXP for Best New Music of 2025.  The record was also #29 on Jack Rabid's Top 40 in the December issue of The Big Takeover.

Chatham Rise will be looking for opportunities to play live as they work out their 4th full-length LP in the upcoming year.
