Silkworm tour

Experience Live Indie Rock with TicketPurchase.com

Performer Information

Silkworm is an indie rock band from Missoula, Montana that built a loyal following through intimate, high-energy club shows. Formed in 1987, the group carved out a distinct place in alternative rock with angular guitar interplay, literate and sardonic lyrics, and a raw, unpolished sound. A Silkworm tour meant close-quarters energy and a musicianship-first approach that resonated with dedicated fans across the indie scene.

Across eight studio albums, Silkworm evolved from their debut L'ajre! (1992) to a run of critically admired releases. In the West (1994) and Developer (1997) showcased collaborations with producer Steve Albini, while Libertine (1994) earned acclaim and Firewater (1996) became a fan favorite. Lifestyle (2000) reflected a mature, finely honed sound, and It'll Be Cool (2004) closed their studio catalog on a high note. Their signature track “Couldn't You Wait?” later inspired a documentary exploring the band’s story and impact.

Silkworm’s final lineup featured founding members Tim Midyett (bass, vocals) and Andy Cohen (guitar, vocals), with Michael Dahlquist (drums) joining in 1990 and remaining a core force through 2005. Earlier, founding member Joel RL Phelps (guitar, vocals) contributed to their formative era before departing in 1994, and original drummer Ben Koostra held down the kit from 1987 to 1990. The band’s influence continues within indie and underground circles, praised for integrity, unique songwriting, and a DIY ethos.

On stage, Silkworm favored minimal production and maximum chemistry. Shows in clubs and small theaters put the focus squarely on the songs—dynamic, emotionally direct, and performed with intensity. Fans value the authenticity that defined every set, from the jagged riffs to the powerful, minimalist drumming.
