'''Pegboy''' is a punk/postpunk supergroup that started in [[1990]] and are largely attributed to carrying Chicago's post hardcore with melodic overtones into the 1990s, and continues on to this day. Their members were at some point in [[Naked Raygun]], [[Strike Under]], [[The Effigies]], [[Big Black]], [[Bhopal Stiffs]], [[Bloodsport]], [[Trial by Fire]] and likely many more. In fact, when Steve Saylors left the band in 1993 Chicago legend, legendary nationwide underground and mainstream producer and creator of [[Rapeman]] and [[Big Black]] Steve Albini filled in for him.

On September 9th, [[2006]] - Pegboy played at the [[Touch and Go Records]] 25th Anniversary.

== History ==
=== Formation ===
In [[1989]], [[John Haggerty]] had left [[Naked Raygun]]. Haggerty came down to a couple [[Bhopal Stiffs]] practice sessions to jam, not wanting to join the band. At that time however, the Stiffs were starting to fizzle themselves. [[Larry Damore]], [[Steve Saylors]] and [[Dave Schleitwiler]] did jam with Haggerty on a proto-Pegboy but John wanted to bring in his brother [[Joe Haggerty|Joe]] so Schleitwiler left at a very early time and ended up in [[Buzzmuscle]]. Two songs written by the Stiffs, including My Youth, turned into Pegboy tracks.

== Current Members ==

* [[Larry Damore]] - Vocals
* [[John Haggerty]] - Guitar
* Mike "Skinny Mike" Thompson - Bass
* [[Joe Haggerty]] - Drums

=== Former Members ===
* [[Steve Saylors]] - Bass

'''Innocence''' was a 7-inch by [[Rights of the Accused]], released in [[1984]] on [[Little Farmer Music]]. It is probably their most popular release during their punk era. Later ROTA releases became more of a metal sound.

Because of the popularity and scarcity of the record (if that makes any sense), Innocence is a popular item on the punk record collectors circuit. In February [[2006]], it sold for $36 on [[eBay]].

TheRobman: /* Chicago-Based Body of Work */

'''Iain Burgess''' was the most prominent and prolific producer/engineer of the early Chicago punk era. It is often said that Iain, by virtue of recording the seminal records of the Chicago Punk era, was the person most responsible for the ''Chicago Sound''. Iain was best known for recording during weekends at the [[Chicago Recording Company]], though he recorded at anywhere and everywhere in the city at some point. Iain also spent much time doing sound board for live shows, Chicago bands and non-Chicago bands like. On Thursday February 11, [[2010]] Iain passed away from complications related to pancreatic and liver cancer.

=== RIP Iain Burgess and Rick Ponce ===

[[Image:IainBurgess.jpg|left|85px]]

In early February 2010, Chicago long two vital and longtime contributors to their music scene. Engineer [[Iain Burgess]] is often created with crediting the "Chicago Sound" and recorded just about every Chicago band you can think of in the 1980s. [[Rick Ponce]] had been playing guitar and attending punk/metal shows consistently from the 1980s until his death. Both men died of issues related to cancer, R.I.P. Rick and Iain</td>

Thanks to everyone who helped punkdatabase reach 500 unique pages (which for the record was the [[Insane War Tomatoes]]). Pretty damn remarkable when I think about it. There's still a lot of work to be done, especially with regards to venues and some of the more obscure bands. Please keep on contributing and lets see if we can hit a cool 1000! -Gantry

Silver Abuse

2011-06-26T17:06:04Z

TheRobman: /* Releases */ added Dogs Laughed At Us

[[Image:Silver abuse in cans.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Final Silver Abuse lineup in garbage cans, circa 1983]]

'''Silver Abuse''' was one of the original punk bands in Chicago, forming in [[1977]]. There were various versions of Silver Abuse, but the original version starred lifetime member [[Bill Meehan]], along with [[Santiago Durango]] and [[Camilo Gonzalez]], early members of [[Naked Raygun]]. Silver Abuse broke up for good in [[1983]]. After the original version of Silver Abuse disbanded in the late 70s, most of the members of SA formed [[The Wayouts!]]. Even though The Wayouts! included many of the same members of Silver Abuse, their lazer-sharp sardonic and cartoonish one-minute pop missives varied so greatly from Silver Abuse's sloppy yet spot-on political and social dissections, that they are best not included in the greater Silver Abuse beastiary. Some of The Wayouts!' members became Silver Abuse again after their last show on New Year's Eve, [[1980]]. There was also a later spin-off group called [[Burden of Friendship]].

Sadly, [[Jaqui Disler]] passed away in [[2004]] after a long battle with cancer.

== Origins ==

=== Santiago Durango's take ===

According to a Durango [http://www.dangpow.com/~landed/bigblack/BBFE9.htm interview in Forced Exposure], the original Silver Abuse was a bunch of like-minded high school (Gordon Tech) punk fans who couldn't play their instruments and liked to get drunk on wine and do drugs. They were a five piece and only made it through one song at their very first gig. Opening up at a loft party thrown by [[Tutu and the Pirates]], they started off with a particularly vulgar ditty. That was enough for the crowd... they played one more gig before ending it after Durango left the band. This version of SA never recorded anything except some "cheesy cassettes"

=== Bob Damrau's take ===

"There were two groups of musicians that more or less merged at some point to form what would become Silver Abuse. Camilo is the missing link in bringing some members of these two groups together.

* Group 1 consisted of Santiago Durango and [[Bob Galardo]] (they were both guitarists as well as neighbors on roscoe street). Camilo had a number of classes with santiago at Gordon Technical High School, where there friendship began.

* Group 2 consisted of Bill Meehan, Dennis Sosniak, Camilo, and yours truly. We all got to know Santiago through his acquaintance with gonz.

Galardo was never a member of Silver Abuse. He and Sant did a lot of jamming (which i participated in occasionally). Ultimately, santiago replaced Dennis..."''

=== First show confusion ===

It is also reported that the first SA was at [[La Mere Vipere]] in Spring of [[1978]]. This report is false according to Maxxwell, who was a local scenester of the era:

"The misunderstanding probably comes from the coverage in [[Gabba Gabba Gazzette]] #8, which has photos of the event (which was a benefit for the GGG), and a funny letter of apology for Silver Abuse's performance from Boppin Billy ([[Billy Meehan]]), but does not name a venue, possibly because the venue was illegal. Even though the Gabba Gabba Gazette was not officially affilliated with LaMere at that time, it would have been easy for someone who read the zine, but was not at the event to just assume it happened at LaMere."

Maxxwell explained that LaMere was not a venue for live music. Furthermore, Maxxwell states:

"Since the purpose of live music from the owner's point of view is to attract customers rather than send them screaming out the door hurling beer glasses as they go, it seems unlikely that Noe, cool guy though he was, would have ever selected the first edition of Silver Abuse as an evening's entertainment."

Maxxwell says his recollection of the first SA show matches Santiago's:

"The concert was held at a rented or possibly surreptitously borrowed industrial space temporarily named "Tutu's Placenta." Our anti-heroes stumbled uncertainly to the performance area, some dressed in combat helmets. In my memory they were all wearing Nazi gear and tinfoil masks. However a photo printed in the Gabba Gabba Gazette #8 (Summer 78) shows only the guitarist wearing a Reynolds Wrap facemask (Santiago perhaps trying vainly to conceal his identity) w/German-looking helmet and another member with a combat helmet of unidentifiable origin. Billy is wearing a jean jacket and t-shirt. Only three of the members were pictured. It still seems to me there was more than one tinfoil mask...but I may have been in only slightly better shape than the band. There was a bit of random guitar skronk, and then the band launched into "Jews Must Die". After what seemed an eternity but was probably a minute and a half the band departed the stage, followed by catcalls and possibly a few projectiles.

In a letter to the editor, also printed in GGG number 8, Billy apologizes for the band's performance, admitting that the band "sucked dog diarrhea through a straw". He attributes the band's performance to lack of practice and being too fucked up to play. With uncharacteristic understatement he notes "we never shoulda opened with "Jews Must Die" He also said he was amused by a David Witz review of the show in The Reader. (David Witz,a very mainstream critic, had an ongoing feud with Mary Alice and LaMere).He said the band would continue to perform but without the neo-fascist shtick, which was "just an attempt at a cheap laugh"."

Silver Abuse

2011-06-26T17:01:47Z

TheRobman: /* Shows */ added Cobra Lounge show

[[Image:Silver abuse in cans.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Final Silver Abuse lineup in garbage cans, circa 1983]]

'''Silver Abuse''' was one of the original punk bands in Chicago, forming in [[1977]]. There were various versions of Silver Abuse, but the original version starred lifetime member [[Bill Meehan]], along with [[Santiago Durango]] and [[Camilo Gonzalez]], early members of [[Naked Raygun]]. Silver Abuse broke up for good in [[1983]]. After the original version of Silver Abuse disbanded in the late 70s, most of the members of SA formed [[The Wayouts!]]. Even though The Wayouts! included many of the same members of Silver Abuse, their lazer-sharp sardonic and cartoonish one-minute pop missives varied so greatly from Silver Abuse's sloppy yet spot-on political and social dissections, that they are best not included in the greater Silver Abuse beastiary. Some of The Wayouts!' members became Silver Abuse again after their last show on New Year's Eve, [[1980]]. There was also a later spin-off group called [[Burden of Friendship]].

Sadly, [[Jaqui Disler]] passed away in [[2004]] after a long battle with cancer.

== Origins ==

=== Santiago Durango's take ===

According to a Durango [http://www.dangpow.com/~landed/bigblack/BBFE9.htm interview in Forced Exposure], the original Silver Abuse was a bunch of like-minded high school (Gordon Tech) punk fans who couldn't play their instruments and liked to get drunk on wine and do drugs. They were a five piece and only made it through one song at their very first gig. Opening up at a loft party thrown by [[Tutu and the Pirates]], they started off with a particularly vulgar ditty. That was enough for the crowd... they played one more gig before ending it after Durango left the band. This version of SA never recorded anything except some "cheesy cassettes"

=== Bob Damrau's take ===

"There were two groups of musicians that more or less merged at some point to form what would become Silver Abuse. Camilo is the missing link in bringing some members of these two groups together.

* Group 1 consisted of Santiago Durango and [[Bob Galardo]] (they were both guitarists as well as neighbors on roscoe street). Camilo had a number of classes with santiago at Gordon Technical High School, where there friendship began.

* Group 2 consisted of Bill Meehan, Dennis Sosniak, Camilo, and yours truly. We all got to know Santiago through his acquaintance with gonz.

Galardo was never a member of Silver Abuse. He and Sant did a lot of jamming (which i participated in occasionally). Ultimately, santiago replaced Dennis..."''

=== First show confusion ===

It is also reported that the first SA was at [[La Mere Vipere]] in Spring of [[1978]]. This report is false according to Maxxwell, who was a local scenester of the era:

"The misunderstanding probably comes from the coverage in [[Gabba Gabba Gazzette]] #8, which has photos of the event (which was a benefit for the GGG), and a funny letter of apology for Silver Abuse's performance from Boppin Billy ([[Billy Meehan]]), but does not name a venue, possibly because the venue was illegal. Even though the Gabba Gabba Gazette was not officially affilliated with LaMere at that time, it would have been easy for someone who read the zine, but was not at the event to just assume it happened at LaMere."

Maxxwell explained that LaMere was not a venue for live music. Furthermore, Maxxwell states:

"Since the purpose of live music from the owner's point of view is to attract customers rather than send them screaming out the door hurling beer glasses as they go, it seems unlikely that Noe, cool guy though he was, would have ever selected the first edition of Silver Abuse as an evening's entertainment."

Maxxwell says his recollection of the first SA show matches Santiago's:

"The concert was held at a rented or possibly surreptitously borrowed industrial space temporarily named "Tutu's Placenta." Our anti-heroes stumbled uncertainly to the performance area, some dressed in combat helmets. In my memory they were all wearing Nazi gear and tinfoil masks. However a photo printed in the Gabba Gabba Gazette #8 (Summer 78) shows only the guitarist wearing a Reynolds Wrap facemask (Santiago perhaps trying vainly to conceal his identity) w/German-looking helmet and another member with a combat helmet of unidentifiable origin. Billy is wearing a jean jacket and t-shirt. Only three of the members were pictured. It still seems to me there was more than one tinfoil mask...but I may have been in only slightly better shape than the band. There was a bit of random guitar skronk, and then the band launched into "Jews Must Die". After what seemed an eternity but was probably a minute and a half the band departed the stage, followed by catcalls and possibly a few projectiles.

In a letter to the editor, also printed in GGG number 8, Billy apologizes for the band's performance, admitting that the band "sucked dog diarrhea through a straw". He attributes the band's performance to lack of practice and being too fucked up to play. With uncharacteristic understatement he notes "we never shoulda opened with "Jews Must Die" He also said he was amused by a David Witz review of the show in The Reader. (David Witz,a very mainstream critic, had an ongoing feud with Mary Alice and LaMere).He said the band would continue to perform but without the neo-fascist shtick, which was "just an attempt at a cheap laugh"."

'''Iain Burgess''' was the most prominent and prolific producer/engineer of the early Chicago punk era. It is often said that Iain, by virtue of recording the seminal records of the Chicago Punk era, was the person most responsible for the ''Chicago Sound''. Iain was best known for recording during weekends at the [[Chicago Recording Company]], though he recorded at anywhere and everywhere in the city at some point. Iain also spent much time doing sound board for live shows, Chicago bands and non-Chicago bands like.

__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
== The Chicago Punk Database ==

This site intends to be a collections of bands, members, labels etc. for the Chicago punk scene. This page specifically focuses on the earlier Chicago scene - though there is no formal cutoff date, the information on this page pretty much focuses on Chicago punk before [[1990]]. If you have content to add for the early-to-mid 90s feel free to contribute. All you have to do to add pages is create an account and start making pages. [http://punkdatabase.com/wiki/index.php/ChicagoPunk:About Click here] for more info on how to edit pages.

There are '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' articles in the database, most of which are small and need more information. Some suggestions to get started - add a link to an unlisted band on left-hand side of this page, go to a band's page and add members/instruments, fix any spelling errors, or create new page about your favorite Chicago Punk record. Anything you can add will help tremendously, so please contribute today!

Engineer [[Iain Burgess]] is often created with crediting the "Chicago Sound" and recorded just about every Chicago band you can think of in the 1980s. [[Rick Ponce]] had been playing guitar and attending punk/metal shows consistently from the 1980s until his death. Both men died of issues related to cancer, R.I.P. Rick and Iain</td>

=== 500 Pages! ===

[[Image:IWT-IRockYouSuck.jpg|right|105px]]

Thanks to everyone who helped punkdatabase reach 500 unique pages (which for the record was the [[Insane War Tomatoes]]). Pretty damn remarkable when I think about it. There's still a lot of work to be done, especially with regards to venues and some of the more obscure bands. Please keep on contributing and lets see if we can hit a cool 1000! -Gantry
