Here Comes Chernobyl!!! - NITETROTTER Session

Here Comes Chernobyl recently completed a tour of mid western Amerika. We caught up with them one afternoon before their show at the Elbo Room. They recorded this after some mexican food and great conversation. We always love when Cartana comes to town. This is some serious furious political punk.

Viva la nitetrotter.

Here Comes Chernobyl - "Ignorance of Privilege" "God Is Upside Your Head" "Hardon For Crime" "Queers Bash Back!" "Montgomery Burns Lives" "Satandom" "Propaganda of the Dead"

Recorded at Schwag City Studios Chicago

This was recorded live at the last Schwag Stock. Meester Magpie +9 played in the attic to a over fog machined audience. Weird shit happens in the dark. The sounds were crazy and we are glad that we recorded them. We also recorded a video later that week with these guys in Madison on Nitetrotter TV.

Lick it up and GOOD NITE

Wolf Eyes - Live NITETROTTER Session

Illustration Jorge Tapia / Sound Engineering Ian Harris / Text Mr. Nitetrotter - December 6, 2010

Nitetrotter Fest was the most pleasant disaster of 2010. One of the most aurally exciting parts was Wolf Eyes' set which was thankfully documented. We were really pumped when they confirmed to play and were even more surprised by how cool of guys these people were. Their set was dreadfully amazing and hit the audience like a puncture wound.

What I noticed that night was the conversations that the members of the band had after the show. While packing up they talked about the tapes they were listening to in the van. The list consisted of Kraftwerk's Autobahn and The Velvet Underground and Nico album as well as some other pop material. It was pretty fascinating to eavesdrop on their conversations about tonal rock albums. Now I have a totally new view on Wolf Eyes' music and hopefully you do to. They are definitely up there with the rest of the greats.

Well as always, we hope you enjoy this recording as much as we do! GOOD NITE!
