<p>TomesoR: Added a space between happy hunting and happy toons</p> <hr /> <div>__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__<br /> == The Chicago Punk Database ==<br /> <br /> 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 rapidly 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. <br /> <br /> 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! <br /> <br /> == Recent News ==<br /> <br /> &lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;50%&quot; padding=&quot;5px&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> === Podcast on Big Black's Atomizer ===<br /> <br /> [[Image:BigBlack-Atomizer.jpg|left|85px]]<br /> <br /> [[John Pierson]] (aka Jughead from [[Screeching Weasel]]) and [[Russ Forster]] did a fantastic podcast on [[Big Black]]'s ''Atomizer'' record.

At the time, Fishman and Fowler were also playing in the DeKalb band [[Blatant Dissent]]. Parker had most recently played bass, keyboards and guitar with Barrington, IL's [[The Reverbs]] (including two opening slots for The Clash in Des Moines and Davenport), backing up Reverbs mainstays Ric Menck and John Brabek. For a short time [[Tom Clark]] (later of Blatant Dissent) joined on bass - at this point the band was known as &quot;The Banana Convention&quot; and played their first show on January 20, [[1985]] at Northern Illinois University's Duke Ellington Ballroom for an anti-inaugural ball mourning the second term of Reagan. happy hunting played as a three piece for the next year until they added [[Frank Mundo]] to the lineup on bass. This lasted until the Spring of [[1988]] when happy hunting broke up for the first time. Fowler, Parker and Mundo went on to form The Deconstructives with drummer Tom Ellett. In this band Parker played bass and Mundo played guitar. When Mundo left the band in [[1989]] the band reverted to the happy hunting moniker. This line up lasted until [[1990]] after Parker and Fowler had moved to Chicago with Ellett the only remaining DeKalb resident. The band replaced Ellett with Tom Rose (ex-[[Blue Green God]]) on bass and Sport (ex [[The Francos]]) on drums, with Parker moving back to guitar.

The album Butterfat Town, was produced at this time, featuring Sport on drums and released in [[2002]]. [[2004]] saw the release of the New Wave/Classic Rock tinged According to St. Bernardus, then the 2006, the release of de Opstapper followed by [[2008]]'s Joe! (A Rock and Roll Soap Opera).
