Audiences is an indie rock band based in Chicago, Illinois.
Arlington Heights, Illinois natives and friends from high school, Brian, Billy, and Stephen met Bob after graduation. With Bob in a band with Billy, and Brian and Stephen similarly connected, Audiences was the result of “cross-pollination.”
The band has been described to have musical elements similar to bands like Polaris, Vampire Weekend, and MGMT.
The Otterarium is home to members Billy and Brian, also the bands' rehearsal space, located in Lakeview, Chicago and is where the band self-released their first live album; 'Live at The Otterarium'.
Audiences is currently recording their first LP.

Famous quotes containing the word audiences:
“Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I have often felt that I cheated my children a little. I was never so totally theirs as most mothers are. I gave to audiences what belonged to my children, got back from audiences the love my children longed to give me.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
