Punk As Fuck
Ok this showcase is completely nuts. A celebration of old-school Chicago punk is at hand!
Featuring legendary Chicago punk scene music, photos, flyers and posters from the collections of Fireside Bowl & Shakefork Records: Gauge, Ivy League, Captain Jazz, Tetsuo, Los Crudos, Trigwater, Dickey Mo, Tile, Manneqvin Hand, Friction and so many more...
DJ-ing this event: the legendary Aadam Jacobs @thataadamguy - who’s gone viral recently for his 10,000 live recordings of Chicago music shows (including pre-teen spirit Nirvana) (see recent documentary “Melomaniac”) - the legendary Brian Peterson (@firesdie) who booked and promoted for the Fireside Bowl forever (and will be featuring his insane collection of posters and flyers at the event), Neil Sandler who played in seminal Midwest punk band Gauge, currently in Rollo Tomasi (@rollotomasi999), and Adam Norden of American Heritage (@american_fucking_heritage)
Further, to add insult to plenty of injury, these completely insane people we know who know those guys above – who’ve co-curated our You Will Die exhibitions, released electronic music on our label @someoddpilotrecords, played in Chicago post-rock legends Ghosts N Vodka, and have also played in that Chicago metal band American Heritage – are in a punk band called NIXD (@nixdband) and they’ve got a brand new record they are releasing on their record label XCHCX. Join us the day it releases (!!!) for a sort of birthday party for a thing just born.
