In the ‘90s, an old bowling alley hosted a few punk shows. For a little over a decade, it became the all-ages heart of Chicago's punk and indie scene.

Fred Armisen loves ska. He's brought it up on multiple Tonight Show appearances. Portlandia famously did the Bart Ska-mpson skit (with guest Matt Groening), and he performed a ska song in one Saturday Night Live sketch (with Bill Hader and Katy Perry). So, we brought Fred on the podcast and discussed all things ska. He had a lot to say on the topic. We talked about his love for 2 Tone ska bands (The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, English Beat, Bad Manners, The Bodysnatchers). But we also talked about the US ska bands he got to know in the 80s and 90s while he played drums in Chicago punk band Trenchmouth. We talked about Fishbone, Skankin' Pickle, Gangster Fun, Slapstick, Let's Go Bowling and more. We also talk about ska in Latin America, which he learned about during his multiple trips to Santiago, Chile, while filming Los Espookys. We talk about the larger movement of punk/New Wave bands that dabbled with ska XTC, The Clash, The Members, Joe Jackson) or stemmed from ska bands (Fun Boy Three, Fine Young Cannibals, General Public) and we talk lovingly about Chicago's famous indie venue, Fireside Bowl. I also tell Fred about a rumor I heard that Cap'n' Jazz were the first band to play Fireside and he votes on whether it was true or not! We also talk about how dumb band fights can get, the influencing role that Alan Myers (Devo), David Barbarossa (Bow Wow Wow), Topper Headon (The Clash) and Clem Burke (Blondie) had on his drumming style, and he takes a moment to mourn the loss of Specials lead singer Terry Hall, which hit him hard.Plus, we decide the perfect number of bands to have on a bill.

Chicago would become a major ska town in the 90s as the home of Jump Up Records, Slapstick, and Fireside Bowl. But before any of this took off, there was Heavy Manners, a Chicago ska/reggae band that formed in 1980. Within a few years, Heavy Manners were the biggest band (of any genre) in town, but they weren't able to create the same kind of passionate following outside of Chicago. So, in 1984, they threw in the towel. Today we speak to Heavy Manners lead singer Kate Fagan. Before forming the band, she released the underground hit single, "I Don't Wanna Be Too Cool," which has become a sought-after punk collector's item. On Feb 24, 2023, Captured Tracks Records put out a long-awaited reissue of "I Don't Wanna Be Too Cool," along with several previously unreleased Kate Fagan tracks.We talked about Heavy Manners and Kate's work with Rock Against Racism in Chicago. (She once booked Patti Smith at an event!). We talk about Heavy Manners getting to open for The Clash, The English Beat and Peter Tosh--they eventually cut some tracks with Tosh and Bob Marley's engineer Dennis Thompson. And we talk about some of Heavy Manners' famous fans like filmmaker John Hughes, actor John Cusack, and Ministry's frontman Al Jourgensen. We also talk about Chicago's overall music scene in the 70s and 80s, Kate's musical, The Kissing Concept, and discuss some great non-religious Christmas songs. Lots of opinions!  Support the show

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the JASON GRIFF interview session! If you’ve done any history on hip-hop (you should have - if not, time to start NOW), you know the NYC hip-hop, punk & art scenes all thrived off one another in it’s early days, and Griff is delivering his version of that experience this week via his producer concept album, “FIRESIDE CHATS.” Griff breaks down how punk, hip-hop and a world renowned Chicago bowling alley, FIRESIDE BOWL, provided the inspiration for his latest endeavor on INSUBORDINATE RECORDS, which features SCORCESE (RIP). ALEX LUDOVICO, JUGANAUT, ALASKA, ZILLA ROCCA, CURLY CASTRO, BILLY WOODS and DEFCEE. We also catch up with Griff on what else we can expect from the Insubordinate Records crew this year and the work they have vowed to carry on since Scorcese’s unexpected passing at the top of 2020. After you’re done listening to this, head to Ep293 for some exclusives off “Fireside Chats” until the album drops on Fri May 21!

Denis Buckley and Dan "Mr. Precision" Wleklinski of long-running Chicago punk legends 88 Fingers Louie join me for a trip to "Krampus: A Haunted Christmas," a Christmas-themed haunted house on the site of the 13th Floor haunted house in Melrose Park. It was incredibly well done, and we wish it was year-round. Discussed in this week's show: Mr. Precision rigged up the CX-9 like a recording studio. The tactical decision to go with Chipotle instead of Bakers Square. The awesomeness of the Krampus haunted house. We think the haunted house could be year-round, and we imagine what a St. Patrick's theme could look like. Why did all the ladies of the haunted house fall in love with Mr. Precision? Was it his hair? His hammer? Laugh tracks are added in post. With this episode, Denis makes his fourth appearance on Car Con Carne... but he's not in first place. Sandwich idea: "Thank you for being a vegetarian special." The band's getting ready to head to Costa Rica, something that never happened in the band's first run.

If you like Schlong, you're gonna love 88 Fingers Louie. THE FIRST CAR CON CARNE "REMOTE" IS COMING! Lots of guests planned for 12/22! 88's upcoming gig in the lilac village of Lombard on 12/21, opening for the mighty Pegboy. Denis's audition process to join 88 Fingers Louie: Mr. Precision doesn't remember much. Park Ridge landmarks: The Sandlot wasn't always the Sandlot. Remembering the Fireside Bowl.

Welcome again to Lo-Fi Interviews with Hi-Fi guests, Teacher, Mike Lamphere. This is the second in a series of four interviews I have conducted and will release consecutively with Punks working in the fields of service to the common good. I have interviewed, a punk doctor, teacher, police officer, and firefighter. Listen to Mike and John talk about The Fairness of Authority, Moral Models, Chicago Punk Rock, and how to guide the younger generations even though we are older and don't quite understand them. (as it should be). Dr. Mike Lamphere was born in Chicago, Illinois and spent his formative years in the pit at the Fireside Bowl, Metro, and various clubs in the Chicagoland area.  While attending undergrad college he was an active member of the scene in Carbondale, IL where he played in the Riff Randells as a member of the Lost Cross Music Co-op.  In 2000 he moved to Denver and then Colorado Springs where he is still an active member in the local music scene.   He finished his PhD in 2012 and after 16 years of teaching English and film classes has moved in to a role as Dean of Students at an Early College Program.  He currently is writing music for an upcoming project as well as a piece on music and youth culture/identity.

This week, "punk rock doctor" Daryl Wilson joins me for a beef and sausage combo from one of the greatest places on earth, Johnnie's Beef (7500 W North Ave, Elmwood Park, IL 60707). Daryl's most famously known as the frontman for legendary Chicago punk rock band The Bollweevils. By day, he's the EMS Medical Director at Edward Hospital in Naperville. If you're listening to this before Thanksgiving 2017, go see Bollweevils with Pegboy on 11/22 at 1st Ward/Chop Shop! Here's what we chatted about on this week's Boost Mobile-sponsored extravaganza: Daryl went hot; I went sweet My first contact with Daryl, and the punk rock ethics that kept us separated in the 1990s My sense of relief that Daryl's a doctor, as I committed myself to the not-cardiac-friendly beef combo. The time I was flipped off in Wicker Park, just for working in radio Daryl's med school experience Daryl and I wore kinda-similar outfits to the podcast recording The documentary "Men: The Series," which features Daryl Daryl's strange burping issue The temptation of going for a second round of beef/sausage combos: Do we do it? We surely aren't that irresponsible... right? Daryl's most fond memories of the 90s Chicago's punk scene vs. Metro in the 90s The Bollweevils vs. Metro in the 90s ("Were you guys banned from Metro?" "Technically, yes.") The Fireside Bowl and the horrifying bathrooms there The ongoing influence of Naked Raygun ("they're the shit") What would have happened to the Bollweevils had Daryl not gone to med school? Technically, Daryl could kill any of his bandmates and bring them back to life My gratitude to Daryl's wife for letting him spend the night eating like an asshole with me The topic that causes Daryl to freeze  The great Power Man and Iron Fist comic books of days past

Owner of Pete's Barber Shop and mastermind behind the DJ Coffin Banger Show, Pete Huels took me to Bob Inn for the premier episode of 'First Round's on Me'. We journey through his early days at the Fireside Bowl to starting his own punk/ska bands and becoming a DJ, the Coffin Banger show, for the past 10 years. His story of how he became a barber shows his passion that drives the success of his business and how it can parallel other people's desire to start their own businesses whether it is tied to music or not.

Our favorite shows ever. Three amazing or weird shows we attended, booked or played in. Which member of a Fat Wreck Chords band dipped his head in the Fireside Bowl's toilet?
