Interview Subjects

Steve Albini - Underground punk legend Albini has produced, er, "recorded" literally thousands of records, most of them by bands that no one will ever hear. He has, however, twiddled the knobs for such successful artists as Nirvana, the Jesus Lizard, the Poster Children, Superchunk, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, PJ Harvey, and the Pixies. A musician himself, Albini has played in the influential punk bands Big Black, Rapeman, and (his current combo) Shellac. Steve Albini related sites:

Scott Giampino - Publicist, Touch & Go Records. Giampino al so drums for the Touch & Go bacon-fried boogie combo Cash Money.

Jim DeRogatis - Former Senior Editor for Rolling Stone and is currently the Pop Music Editor for the Chicago Sun-Times.

Dannie Flesher - As one of the co-founders of seminal label Wax Trax!, Flesher helped bring such acts as Ministry, Front 242, KMFDM, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, the KLF, Meat Beat Manifesto, Front Line Assembly, and many others to industrial, dance, and ambient music fans.

John "Skippy" McFadden - Although his label March Records is quite tiny, major labels have raided McFadden's label twice (Catherine and Loud Lucy). March's current roster includes Holiday, Godzuki, and Pee. Go to the March Records page.

Chris Connelly - Part of the Wax Trax! family for many years, Connelly has recorded and performed with the Revolting Cocks and other Al Jourgensen side projects. His solo material has turned away from that type of sonic assault, however. Go to the Wax Trax! page

Bill Wyman - Former Chicago Reader Hitsville columnist, Wyman routinely received hate mail for his often harsh or glowing rock criticism.

Joe Shanahan - Co-owner of Metro and Double Door, the two biggest rock clubs in Chicago.

Julia Adams - Co-owner of the venerable Lounge Ax. This club has been experiencing financial difficulty as a result of archaic city ordinances and yuppie neighbors. Luckily, some friends have come to their aid. Touch & Go has released The Lounge Ax Defense and Relocation CD and a three-day concert raised over $25,000 to help with their legal bills.

Bruce Finkelman - Owner of the cheap, uh, make that inexpensive, hole-in-the-wall-ish club Empty Bottle.
