Tutu and the Pirates

Tutu and the Pirates were one of the very first punk bands in Chicago. Though I don't think they released any recordings, they were playing shows since the late 70s. As they hosted the first ever gig for Silver Abuse in or 1978, they've been around at least that long.

Tutu Today
In 2005, Tutu played a reunion gig at the 10th O'Banion's reunions at The Note. A couple of the original Pirates are now in Vendooza, who play shows throughout the Chicagoland area.
