Bellevue Holiday

Bellevue Holiday is a three-piece rock outfit out of Chicago. Combining heavy, blues-based rock and roll with warped synthesizers, the band delivers a form of loud modern rock with a touch of classic rock tension. Formed by Pico Johnson (vocals/guitar), Zahit Krajna (bass), and Simon Burke-Kaiser (drums), the trio builds a dark, focused narrative around a sharp sonic edge. It’s a sound built for late nights, neon lights, and packed rooms.

Before forming Bellevue Holiday, the members cut their teeth across a wide range of musical landscapes. Front man Pico Johnson spent years performing with The Leroy Fix, The Wingnuts, Antioch Secret Society, Bloody Spades, and Cochino Y Los Pistoleros, while bassist Zahit Krajna comes from Chicago favorites Yer Mothers Lovers. Drummer Simon Burke-Kaiser anchors the rhythm section, bringing a sharp technical edge honed while he studied and performed in New York.
