=== Trial By Fire record released after 35 years ===

[[Image:TBF-1982.jpg|left|85px]]

Although it was recorded in [[1982]], [[Trial By Fire]]'s record was never released at the time. After thirty five years [[Alona's Dream Records]] finally gave it a formal release. The sounds holds up today and could very well have been the first hardcore record from a Chicago band. You'll notice many songs that have been done by other bands, including the famous opener to [[Naked Raygun]]'s ''Vanilla Blue''. Do yourself a favor and [http://shop.alonasdreamrecords.com/album/1982 buy a copy from Alona's Dream], you won't regret it.

[[Image:BigBlack-Atomizer.jpg|left|85px]]

Dumb Ra was founded at the University of Chicago in the summer of 1980 when [https://www.youtube.com/user/MickeyZero79 Mickey Cohen] (ex [https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/the-trouble-boys-brought-dumb-punk-fun-to-the-u-of-c-in-the-late-70s/Content?oid=24744518 Trouble Boys]) asked Chris Moore to learn to play bass. They then convinced Bart Goldberg (ex [https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/the-trouble-boys-brought-dumb-punk-fun-to-the-u-of-c-in-the-late-70s/Content?oid=24744518 Trouble Boys]) to join them and, after adding drummer Mark Giblin, began performing that fall. Giblin was soon replaced by [https://lucidculture.wordpress.com/tag/david-campbell-drummer/ Dave Campbell]. The band continued around the core of Cohen-Moore-Campbell for approximately five years, when Campbell left Chicago for New York, where he joined [https://lovecamp7.bandcamp.com/album/love-camp-vll Love Camp 7].<br><br>Dumb Ra played at various Chicago venues, including the [[Cubby Bear]], among others, and appeared on the U of C episode of Coming On, an early made-for-cable Disney show. <br><br> Cohen currently lives in France and performs with acoustic trance duo [https://fr-fr.facebook.com/ododuo/ OdO].

__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]], though there is a growing collection of information on 1990-1999 bands. If you have content to add for an era 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!

=== Trial By Fire record released after 35 years ===

[[Image:TBF-1982.jpg|left|85px]]

Although it was recorded in [[1982]], [[Trial By Fire]]'s record was never released at the time. After thirty five years [[Alona's Dream Records]] finally gave it a formal release. The sounds holds up today and could very well have been the first hardcore record from a Chicago band. You'll notice many songs that have been done by other bands, including the famous opener to [[Naked Raygun]]'s ''Vanilla Blue''. Do yourself a favor and [http://shop.alonasdreamrecords.com/album/1982 buy a copy from Alona's Dream], you won't regret it.

=== Podcast on Big Black's Atomizer ===

[[Image:BigBlack-Atomizer.jpg|left|85px]]

[[John Pierson]] (aka Jughead from [[Screeching Weasel]]) and [[Russ Forster]] did a fantastic podcast on [[Big Black]]'s ''Atomizer'' record. It has interviews with [[Santiago Durango]], [[Steve Albini]], [[Camilo Gonzalez]] and [[Jeff Pezzati]] on the beginnings of Big Black and how that record came to be. The ''Jugheads Basement'' podcast previously focused on such groundbreaking 80s Chicago records as [[Naked Raygun]]'s [[Throb Throb]] and Screeching Weasel's ''[[My Brain Hurts]]''.

Jamies Elsewhere Lounge

DumbRa:

'''''Jamie's Elsewhere Lounge''''' was a small dive bar on Clark street just south of Belmont during the late 1970s and early 1980s. While the bar itself was nothing special, it was a good way to see local bands play cheap. Among the bands that played there (info not 100%) are [[X-Idols]], [[Bohemia]], [[Loose Lips]], [[Trouble Boys]], and [[Special Affect]].
