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.

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!
Winnetka Bowling League had great energy and engaged with the audience throughout the show. It was a fun show and I hope to see them make it bigger venues in the future.
This band is so underrated -- their music is incredible and they put on a great show! Highly recommend if they're in your area and I'll be attending many of their shows in the future!!!
Wow! WinnetkaBowlingLeague was amazing live. I had so much fun! I can't wait to see them again. Amazing band
Loved their performance. Was going to a cage the elephant concert and had no idea they existed and when they came on stage I was surprised to say the least. They got a certain vibe that I dig man super California but in a good way ya dig? If you get the chance definitely go see them their energy is awesome!
Had no clue who they were but the second they started playing I started turning up. I dig their whole vibe and their music is sick man they were definitely a pleasant surprise. If you can I definitely suggest going to one of their concerts they are gr8 m8 I’d r8 8/8 for sure.
