Heyrocker: Changed current location

'''Greg Dunlap''' grew up in Bolingbrook, IL and went to college at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, IL. After a series of life-changing [[Naked Raygun]] shows, Greg joined up with his friend [[Dan Grzeca]] to create [[THIS]] fanzine. Greg and Dan also promoted shows in Dekalb under the [[THIS]] banner. In his last year Greg joined the NIU concert committee and was able to put on university-sanctioned concerts in addition to independent shows.

Soon after leaving college, Greg ran into [[Rob Warmowski]] at a [[Pegboy]] show. Rob mentioned he was looking for a guitarist for his new band [[Buzzmuscle]] and Greg joined the band soon after.

This lasted approximately nine months before he moved on to the straight world as a graphic designer and later software engineer.

After Buzzmuscle Greg performed with the bands LuckyJ and Municipal, featuring former members of [[Tar]] and [[Sixteen Tons]].

In 2000 Greg wrote the liner notes for the [[Touch And Go]] Records reissue of [[Naked Raygun]]'s album [[All Rise]].

Talk:Tuts

2007-01-08T05:44:17Z

Heyrocker:

Tuts was what the Quiet Knight, a famous Chicago folk club, turned into after the folk scene petered out in the late 70's. Skafish played numerous shows at the Quiet Knight before the change in name and direction, and some national acts (like Talking Heads) may have played there before the name change. (It's hard to remember where Quiet Knight ended and Tut's began). I question the assertion it was ever located in the Stages/Smart Bar space. I think that's wrong.

Tuts used to live upstairs in the building at the NW corner of Belmont and Sheffield, above Dennis' Place For Games. This is the same space that later became Avalon, and was a tanning salon last I checked. Oh I see now the article already mentions this. Didn't Sue Miller, later part-owner of Lounge Ax, used to book at Tut's? I remember hearing this at one point.

'''THIS''' was a fanzine from Dekalb, IL put out by [[Dan Grecza]] and [[Greg Dunlap]]. Four issues total were produced between February of [[1988]] and March of [[1990]]. The first three issues were xerox quality, before moving to offset printing for the fourth issue. The following bands were interviewed in '''THIS''':

# [[Naked Raygun]], [[Blatant Dissent]]
# Dead Milkmen, [[Out Of Order]], [[The Defoliants]], Otis Ball, Junebug Massacre
# My Dad Is Dead, Killdozer, Volcano Suns, The Didjits, The Watchmen
# Buzzcocks, [[Iain Burgess]], The Lee Harvey Oswald Band, Flaming Lips, Flea Circus

A fifth issue was partially completed which would have included interviews with The Watchmen, Dan Clowes, and Big Dipper.

Greg and Dan also promoted shows in Dekalb under the '''THIS''' banner during these years. The majority of these shows took place at either the local Eagle's Club or the basement of the NIU Wesley Foundation. Many of the same bands that appeared in '''THIS''' also played in Dekalb, as well as other local bands like Sixteen Tons, [[Precious Wax Drippings]], [[Tar]], [[Friends Of Betty]], and [[The Jesus Lizard]].

==Trivia==
* The first show put together by '''THIS''' was what turned out to be the last show [[Blatant Dissent]] played before changing their name to [[Tar]].
