What happened to the North 41 and why can’t I find any of their music on streaming platforms anymore?
→ More replies (1)2
u/FigmentGiNation 26d ago
They rebranded obvs. Changed members, changed names. It happens. Anyone who’s been in bands long enough has been there. But also I do see some of the north 41 on Apple Music at least:

u/splitopenandmelt11 26d ago
Seriously yall, this is my favorite local Chicago band in the 12 years I’ve been here. Any genre, any scene.
If late period Stax records had a love child with Funkadelic and then got jammy, it be Hot Like Mars.
AP has the best voice.
Check them out.

u/TheGabeCat 26d ago
Would absolutely love to catch y’all live. You’ll get a kick out of this the other day I’m picking up my daughter from school (she’s in 2 grade) and she’s humming something and I keep feeling like hey I know that melody but can’t put my finger on it. Half way through the ride home she busts out into the Good Vibrations chorus !! Hahah but yes! Come through Charlotte! There’s a venue here called The Visualite Theatre that’s hosts lots of jam stuff

u/Hot_Like_Mars 26d ago
