As part of this years’s CIMM Fest, the legendary “anti-lectual sub-urban insult rock band” Tutu and The Pirates be reuniting for a gig at the Double Door on April 16th, and we want you to be there! Keep reading to find out how to get your FREE tickets!
Arguably Chicago’s first punk band, the Pirates came together in 1977, taking their cues from proto-punkers like The Stooges and MC5, as well Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, and during their brief existence, they opened for early punk greats such as The Ramones and The Undertones.
Tutu and The Pirates were recently featured in the excellent documentary You Weren’t There: Chicago Punk, 1977–1985 by Chicago filmmaker Joe Losurdo, who will be in attendance to screen footage from the early days of the Chicago punk scene. Also taking the stage will be masked garage rockers The Goblins and local post-punk band Nones.
