THANATOS Reunion In Chicago This Sunday
Sunday May 29 | The Bottom Lounge ~ Chicago, IL
3206 N. Wilton. American Gothic Productions Presents ~ A Memorial Day Weekend Show With ~ THANATOS (Exclusive Reunion Show featuring Patrick Ogl, Greg Lucas, Vince Grech and Eric Polcyn) with Bella Luna. Doors 9pm $8.00. 18+
Formed by vocalist/guitarist Padraic Ogl (Patrick Ogle) and Sam Rosenthal (black tape for a blue girl) back in the mists of time Thanatos released it's first CD, "This Endless Night Inside" in 1993, with the follow up disc "An Embassy to Gaius" following two years later. Both were built around acoustic guitar and electronics. In 1995 the band went live with William Tucker (Foetus, Chris Connelly Band, Pigface and a host of others) on guitar and Eric Polcyn (Godbullies) on bass. An EP was released for the second tour, "The Neighbor of the Beast"...with both live and studio tracks (the drummer on the live tracks was Sam Fogarino). Later Vince Grech played drums at shows. In 1997 the band released it's last record "Blisters"...this mainly featured William Tucker and Ogl on vocals and was more guitar and sample oriented. In April 1998 the band played it's last show at Lounge Axe in Chicago. Some of those tracks appear here. In 2003 the band released a disc under the moniker Illegalteenagebkini and entitled "I Am Not Job." The first show in 7 years will be at 9 p.m. Sunday, May 29 at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago (details in events). There may be a few (very few) other shows. There will be acoustic shows unless I change my mind and don't do them.....
