The Assembly is an alternative/electronica rock band from Chicago, Illinois.  Fronted by former Caviar (Island/Def Jam) guitarist Dave Suh, The Assembly’s sound has been defined by The Chicago Reader as “A sterling example of dark synth-pop.”  Formed initially as a side-project in 2003 during his tenure in Caviar, The Assembly defined its sound in 2005 when Suh was joined by his brother, keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Nathan Suh, upon its first release, Commencement.  Since then, The Assembly has had 3 more releases; 2007’s Paranoia Will Destroy Ya, The Tide Has Turned (2008), and late 2011’s The Future Has Been Sold.  

The band’s sound pays homage to early 80’s English post-punk/New Wave bands such as The Psychedelic Furs, The Cure, and The Smiths, while maintaining a contemporary sound using loops, self-produced samples, keyboards, and other various electronica elements.  The Assembly is also known for its blistering live shows, headlining venues across Chicago including:  Metro, Double Door, Lincoln Hall, Subterranean, Beat Kitchen, and Bottom Lounge.

Currently, the band is working on their follow up to The Future Has Been Sold with a new release tentatively titled “Black on Black.” Band members include Dave Suh (vocals, guitar), Nathan Suh (synths/guitar/laptop), Gary Gustovich (bass), and Matthew Koschak (drums).

The Assembly have been featured guests on Q101's Crash Test Radio, Local 101, Mancow's Morning Madhouse, and Fearless Radio's Live Music Binge.  The Assembly had an exclusive track on Q101’s Local 101 Volume 3 (2009), as well as being named a Q101 “Band to Bust Out.”  The band was also considered the Illinois Entertainer’s “Best of Around Here” 2009, and Examiner.com’s “Best Emerging Chicago Bands” 2008.  All of The Assembly’s releases can be found on iTunes, and at CDBABY.COM.
