Ken Mierzwa

Ken Mierzwa was one of the early Chicago scene's most prolific writers and photographers. Writing for The Coolest Retard and snapping photos of bands from 1979 to 1982, Ken's output is one of the most valuable historical references of the scene during this time. Ken's documented his time in the scene online at Ephemeral Creation, one of the best reads about that era.

Ken continues to work as a photographer, with his own studio Lost Coast Photo
