Chicago's Shorty were a scene band. Steve Albini recorded under the moniker Albiehnni of Francesco, this one pushed all the buttons. The sound was in the realm of what the Jesus Lizard were doing at the time with a vocalist that was even less decipherable. This EP got around to the point the girlfriend I wrote about that liked Hole a few months back also had this on cassette and played it regularly. I found my copy for $3 bucks at Venus on St. Marks in the $5 and under bin, where all noise rock promos seemed to find their way. Good for me because otherwise I would have had to buy it brand new!
Where is the band now that were formed out of the bands Nursery and Muckrakers? The vocalist Al Johnson went on to Mount Shasta. He also went on to US Maple as did guitarist Mark Shippy. Al was also in Lake of Dracula as "The Manhattanite" and made a cameo as a record collector in High Fidelity back in 2000. Shippy has shown up in duo bands Miracle Condition and Invisible Things. I have no idea what bass player Luke Frantom or drummer Todd Lamparelli are doing.
