WMSE Presents The Effigies
February 20 @ 6:30 pm
$25
The Effigies were part of a small but mighty contingent of bands that launched Chicago’s first wave of punk. Formed in 1980, they charged out of the gate with a fast, brash sound that proved foundational to midwestern hardcore. “Guns or Ballots,” from the live 1981 compilation Busted at Oz, set the template for that style, which the Effigies would perfect and abandon by the time they issued their chilly debut LP, 1984’s For Ever Grounded
They juts released Burned with John Kedzy who would unfortunately die from a bike accident. Their sound just as fast as ever and a high-charged live show. This will be a blast.
