Ex-radio DJ Steve Dahl, who had been fired some months earlier after the radio station he was working for (WDAI) had changed to an all disco format, hosted the Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois.

Dahl invited people to bring unwanted disco records to the stadium and burn them in a container located in the center of the field. More than ten thousand records were collected during doubleheader games with the White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. Things quickly got out of control when some jerks wearing 'Shoot the Bee Gees' t-shirts and chanting 'Disco Sucks!'

Started to throw records from the stands during the game. Some people even started their own fires and, eventually, riots broke out. Is it any surprise then that numerous punk rock bands (Naked Raygun, Big Black, Strike Under, etc.) would bubble up like so much burnt cheese in the years following that awful tragedy (which actually did happen, but with much less tragic consequences that did not inspire any particular rock movement to be honest)? Overnight the underground sprang into action and countless great bands started playing clubs around Chicago. On top of that heap of bands were the Effigies. In an effort to prove that I am a bona fide objective journalist, here's the Effigies' official bio re-written by yours truly: John Kezdy, Earl Letiecq, Steve Economou and Paul Zamost started the Effigies in late 1979 (though the band didn't play its first show until November 1980). They were one of Chicago's first punk rock bands and, with a driving guitar-heavy noise that danced like a cobra and often leapt unabashedly off of the Sears Tower into catchy melodic hooks that never rusted, they were instrumental in developing what would become the dominant sound of the first generation of Chicago punk.

From the very beginning the Effigies were a powerful band (often described in terms that most punk rock bands never were [like 'mature,' 'muscular' and 'thoughtful']) with a sound that cooked like a George Foreman grill. The Effigies played their first show on November 9, 1980 at Oz in Chicago and just four months later they were recorded live for inclusion on the Busted at Oz compilation (it would be their vinyl debut). Up next came the Haunted Town 12', five songs of razor-sharp guitars being pummeled by a big rhythm section that throbs like an erect penis the size of Michael Stipe's ego. Originally scheduled for release in June of '81, then August of '81, the record didn't actually hit the street until October or November of that year.
