Funny, a random forum post popped this album, and more notably, the NYC supporting show at the Fez, which spawned a post from me as well: http://fertanish.net/wp2011/?p=303

Welcome to the party Terry! I think word programs are a life saver, or maybe that is a tree saver. With the number of changes I make while writing a novel I'd kill a forest.

Thanks for doing a post for the party!

Thanks for the review, Terry. I'm glad that you mentioned that it's not all power pop. I like to throw in a few change-ups here and there to keep it interesting.

Holly: I'm glad you enjoyed the review. Thanks for the tip about you singing backup for the Rolling Stones tribute band. Lou Hallwas from The Penthouse Sweets also mentioned that to me. I've edited the post to reflect the new info.

A friend of mine just found your blog and post as he and I were exchanging emails about a Brad Wood discography he was viewing. I had replied to him reminiscing about recording 3 or 4 songs demo with Brad Wood at his Idful studio in Wicker Park back in 1991. Then my friend and I got to talking about those demos I made with the band I was in at the time and where those songs ended up. I told him about Chicago's Underground: Hits at Large and he then searched the net to find out more about it...and here we are! It was cool to see your review from that issue of the IE that you have posted here. Thanks, it brought back great memories of playing the cd release show at (then "Cabaret") Metro with the Webstirs, 92 Degrees, and all the other bands on the cd. Oh, forgot to mention, I was the drummer in Crackpot Messiah. I left the band in '93, but the other blokes keep playing out every so often, to this very day.
Oh...and if I may also throw in a bit of unsolicited trivia...I remember talking to the guys in Billy Pilgrim (and your review was right, theirs were best tracks on that cd), and I asked the singer about the "other" Billy Pilgrim from Atlanta (they had some commercial success and radio airplay of their single "Sweet Louisiana Sound" in the early '90s). Anyway, I think I recall the singer of the Chicago Billy Pilgrim told me that he was contacted maybe by the record company and asked about switching the name because of the Atlanta Billy Pilgrim. Oh well, I guess that was reeeeally trivial. Well, I enjoyed the post and your blog. Thanks!

2011-08-13T22:20:15.100-05:00

Triad Radio was a VERY influential program from '69 until '77 after which Chicago's WXFM changed formats. The magazine was born out of the radio show and had it's best days then, but after the show left the air, there was a stab at trying to bring back the magazine. It was pretty lame - missing all of the best things about the original version - especially no daily listings of the great free-form music that used to live on the airwaves. Tho, I have to say that I discovered the first punk dance club in America - possibly the world - called "La Mere Vipere" as the result of a cover article done about a month later (their third issue in the new style) and that changed my life forever too!
