<p>Eckhard: </p> <hr /> <div>'''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. They hosted the first ever gig for [[Silver Abuse]] in [[1977]], so they've been around at least that long. <br /> <br /> Tutu and the Pirates was one of the most well-known bands during the earliest of punk eras, at [[La Mere Vipere]]. They were one of the few punk bands in Chicago during that time and played regularly at places like [[Mothers]]. They were one of the bands features in the [[You Weren't There]] documentary.<br /> <br /> The drummer in the band was Jeff Thomas, son of Chicago television personality Frazier Thomas of ''Garfield Goose'' and ''Bozo's Circus'' fame.<br /> <br /> == Fun Facts ==<br /> <br /> * Starred and played in some independent movie<br /> * Used to wear dog collars while they played<br /> * One of their songs featured a guitar made out of a toilet seat<br /> <br /> == Tutu Today ==<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> <br /> * [http://home.comcast.net/~vendooza/ Vendooza home page]<br /> * [http://www.punkvinyl.com/2005/06/12/obanions-reunion-night/ MXV review of the Tutu's reunion]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Bands]]</div>

<p>Eckhard: added Hi Fidelity info</p> <hr /> <div>'''Painter Band''' was a band out of the [[Disturbing Records]] scene that features family members (and likely actual members) of [[The Cunts]]. <br /> <br /> Painterband is mentioned by name in the 2000 [[John Cusack]] film ''[[High Fidelity]].'' Cusack, as record store owner Rob Gordon, boasts to his friend that he's going to sell several copies of the new Painterband 7&quot;, and puts on the Reactor single. Everyone in the store loves it and buys a copy.<br /> <br /> == Members ==<br /> <br /> * [[Paul Brodlo]]<br /> * [[Karen Pocius]]<br /> <br /> == Releases ==<br /> <br /> * '''''7&quot; single''''' (Disturbing Records, [[1980]])<br /> ** Reactor<br /> <br /> [[Category:Bands]]<br /> [[Category:South Side]]</div>
