Tutu And The Pirates

Tutu And The Pirates, Chicago's first anti-lectual sub-urban insult Rock band and perhaps even its first Punk band, finally gets its due in its first 17-trak LP compilation of demos (from ’77/’78), practice tapes (recorded at their rehearsal loft “The Placenta”), and live material (from ’78). Formed in 1977 by a cross-section of childhood friends and misfits, the Pirates culled inspiration from The Stooges, MC5, and the New York Dolls, as well as 60s garage and the Mothers Of Invention. Quirky and fearless, these guys made it up as they went along, quickly becoming Chicago’s go-to opening band for the Ramones (five times), the Undertones, and the Pretenders. True to punk credo, they lived hard and played harder, and within a few short years the rot set in and the group disbanded. Yet despite their influence in and on the Chicago Punk scene, the legendary Midwestern pioneers of Punk never managed to release an album until now. A new recording of "Berlin" proves that even three decades later, they can still Rock the fuck out. The original band lineup included: Li'l Richie Speck - vocals, Jimmy Socket - guitar, Frankie Paradise - bass, Mel Torment - "other guitar," and TuTu - drums. Subsequent incarnations of the band included Abner Normal replacing TuTu on drums, Max de la Living Swing replacing Abner on drums and Budda Slim on keys.
