The origins of Winnetka Bowling League started with an existential crisis. While singerand guitarist Matthew Koma’s childhood was spent listening to Elvis Costello and?Squeeze and growing up in the East Coast hardcore and punk scenes, most of his adult?life found him writing songs for electronic musicians and pop stars. Drawn to the rock?music of his youth, in 2018 he started Winnetka Bowling League with his brother Kris?Mazzarisi on drums, Sam Beresford on keys, giving him the freedom to explore what he?truly loved about music. The band’s 2018 self-titled debut EP kickstarted a prolific streak?of singles and EPs through 2023 that included the viral songs “On the 5,” “CVS,” and?“Slow Dances.” On each release Winnetka Bowling League display a penchant for?masterful melody-making, sardonic lyrical specificity, and a profound sense of rock’n’roll?timelessness. Their most recent offering, “Sha La La” is no exception.
Just wow!!! WBL was an enjoyable band to listen to! It was so cool to see their old school televisions with their dispensable candy machine! Especially Matthew Koma! Vocals sounded exactly like their Album! Ended it with a bang with the bubbles ???? on their last night of tour! If they tour again in the near future, I’d definitely see them at a live show again!
this is my favorite concert i’ve ever been to. loved every second.
Learned about WBL thru being a Hilary Duff IG follower. Ended up becoming a big fan of Matt’s comedy, music, and his fatherhood journey. I thought I’d be late bc I had to make my dog eggs to feel less guilty about skipping out on her nightly walk. Made it mid Akira Galaxy and enjoyed. Sadly, Atlanta did not show up for them but I’m so glad WBL showed up for Atlanta. They put on a great show! Even my metalhead husband enjoyed himself and got a tshirt :) May see them in Athens with Dawes. God IS a dog out the window.
Loved the smaller show, was definitely more connection with band and loved that. As always Winnetka Bowling League was fantastic and fun, first time was seeing them at the zoo and they were even better indoors.
I have been to a ton of concerts and this one is at the top of my list. Absolutely loved every second of it. From the stage presentation and absolute bangers played to the crowd being hilarious and fun, it was a show to remember!!!
Had to stand in back near merch table. Terrible sound. Too small of a venue for this band.

I don’t know how to write details, but I loved the concert. 10/10 <3
First time seeing WBL. They were really good. I’d say the only feedback would be to have the vocals more up front. I could barely hear what the lyrics were over the drums and keys. Been to The Peppermint Club many times, and this was the one time I’ve been and the vocals haven’t been mixed well into the set. Other than that, great energy and fun songs
Matthew Koma and his band did an amazing job! Their stage presence is very contagious and they are all very funny. It was my second time seeing them and it definitely will not be my last!
