In advance of their show at Cobra Lounge on Sunday, 2/21, I’m joined by members of the Effigies and the Evictions at Cobra! Paul, Steve, and Andy from the Effigies and Johnny from the Evictions jumped in the car to preview the show and talk about the long history of Chicago music and punk.

We also were treated to new items from Cobra’s pizza menu, thanks to Chef Jason: 

Dragged Through the Garden - poppy seed crust, sliced hot dogs, onion, sport peppers, dill pickles, green relish, mustard and celery salt

Louie’s Pizza - Pepperoni, giardiniera, and calabrian chili oil

Both pizzas were spectacular, but I think the hot dog pizza was really something extra special.

See you at Cobra on Saturday! Apologies for not also having the Bollweevils on this episode - looks like I’ll have to have Daryl on again soon.
