You Weren't ThereThere was some mighty fun noise going on in Chicago back in the late ’70s/early ’80s, and most likely you weren’t there to hear it.  But now you get a second chance to hear inspired (if often inept) Punk Rock scratchings from the like of NAKED RAYGUN, DA!, END RESULT, TUTU AND THE PIRATES and many other Midwestern ne’er-do-wells.  Host The Rock’N’Roll Nurse plays the entire soundtrack to the terrific indie documentary You Weren’t There, as well as some Chi-Town gems from his personal collection.  Listen to da underground from da Windy City, adventurous geeks!

Busted At OzThe early ’80s were a turbulent time politically and musically in the Underground all over the U.S., and the Midwest was not immune to the tumult.  In 1981, at a local gay bar that allotted a night to Punk Rock music called Oz, some of Chicago’s most interesting and innovative bands gathered to play to a small but enthusiastic crowd of n’er-do-wells, and the result was recorded for posterity as the Busted At Oz LP.  Host The Rock’N’Roll Nurse plays the entire compilation and then selections from his personal collection of DA, NAKED RAYGUN and EFFIGIES 7″ and 12″ records.  It’s historic heartland rebellion, outcast geeks!
