Biography
Under the loud roaring planes of Chicago’s Midway Airport, a Garfield Ridge trio came together to form blood club in late 2022. Today, the post-punk experimental band, just months shy of their one-year anniversary, is getting ready to celebrate by taking on a ten-day, ten-city debut headlining tour of the United States.
Jesse Flores, frontman and vocalist of blood club, found himself at a creative crossroads after a hiatus from his previous band, French Police. “I just played a show with them and I was like—I miss this! But there wasn’t really any room for me to come back… I was like, fuck it, I’m gonna start my own band.”
Soon after, bassist Daniel Vela and guitarist Jorge Calderon joined Jesse on this new musical venture. With similar musical upbringings, the three knew it was the right time to work together.
Daniel’s love for music came from his father, who was a seasoned musician. Jorge owes his love for the guitar to his cousin, who taught him his first guitar line. And for Jesse, having an older brother that was into music did the trick. The three all began experimenting and playing instruments around the age of thirteen.
“We don’t know music theory or anything like that,” said Jorge, “We’re kind of just self-taught musicians—whatever sounds good.”
