Intro post

This is the first  (introductory)post of this blog. Its intention is to bring to light (for no other reason than i just like these groups or tapes i found) some of the more obscure Noise /Experimental or hard to define  projects/ bands/artists  around the  Chicago area.  Mainly though these are groups from the past who are no longer around  or   have very little  information that they existed  (not even on the Net) . Most of them will be  concerning long gone groups  but also some from the current  Chicago scene who fly under the radar (which is easy to do in this city  , even more so in the Noise DIY  scene today than in the 80's).

I don't know how extensive this will be . We'll see how long i keep it going or my interest runs out .  I will try to post as much as i can but it probably will be far between posts.   BUT -  I need help !!  if you know of any information on these groups i post please send them my way.   Music links ,pics, background ,shows they did ,stories ect............  my email : mikekrause89@hotmail.com

Some of these i have lined up to post pics of cassettes ,  Lps and music links (need to work on digitizing  tapes though yet for a lot of them)  are :

Pagan Amen 
Burden of Friendship
Research Defense Squad 
End Result  (more known then most stuff i will post but still not  very well known)
Metnong 
Straightjacket Bazooka (nothing online on them i found yet!) They did a record or two in the 80's  
Flophouse
Basic Food Group 
Reality Scare
