SYMPOSIUM One Day at a Time 1997

Artist Biography by Erik Hage

The London group Symposium arrived on the tail end of the Brit-pop explosion, landing in that no-man's between Blur vs. Oasis and Radiohead's OK Computer with a reputation as a blistering live act and a distinctly non-Anglo variety of cheeky punk-pop. Unfortunately, the group's debut album, On the Outside, failed to capitalize on the early promise of the single "The Answer to Why I Hate You" or their reputation (spurred by the cover of Melody Maker) as the Best Live Band in Britain. Symposium, which consists of Ross Cummins (vocals), Hagop Tchaparian (guitar), Joe Birch (drums), William McGonagle (guitar), and Wojtek Godzisz (bass), formed at school in Kensington, West London, in the mid-'90s.

Pegboy is a punk rock band from Chicago, IL. The group was formed in 1990 by Larry Damore (vocals and occasional guitar), John Haggerty (guitar), Steve Saylors (bass), and Joe Haggerty (drums) in 1990. The band's first release, a 12" EP named "Three Chord Monte" was released the same year and was the first release for Quarterstick Records, an offshoot of Touch And Go Records. The band's first LP, "Strong Reaction" was released the following year and for many years remained one of the most popular records in the Touch And Go/Quarterstick catalog. Saylors was forced to dropout afterwards when his boss forced him to choose between keeping his job or touring. Steve Albini played bass on 1993's "Fore" EP. Former Naked Raygun bassist Pierre Kezdy joined the group afterwards. This line-up released 2 LPs, 1994's "Earwig" and 1997's "Cha-Cha Damore", the latter of which is, to date, the last recorded material released by the band. Around the turn of the century, word circulated that the band had split but they still made occassional live appearances around Chicago throughout the 2000s, including a performance at Touch And Go's 25th Anniversary Party in 2006. In 2007, Pierre Kezdy rejoined a now reunited Naked Raygun and was replaced by "Skinny" Mike Thompson.

Artist Biography by Steve Huey

Following his departure from All after the group's first two albums under that name, vocalist/guitarist Dave Smalley (also formerly of Dag Nasty) put together Down By Law in 1991 with ex-Clawhammer guitarist Chris Bagarozzi and the former Chemical People rhythm section of Ed Urlik (bass) and Dave Nazworthy (drums). This lineup remained together only for Down By Law's debut album, 1992's Blue; when the follow-up, 1994's Punkrockacademyfightsong, appeared, Smalley had reconstituted the band with guitarist Sam Williams III (ex-Balance and Slap of Reality), bassist "Angry" John DiMambro (ex-Clay Idols and Leonards), and drummer Hunter Oswald. This lineup remained stable, save for the drum chair, which was occupied by Danny Westman on 1996's All Scratched Up! and Chris Lagerborg on 1997's Last of the Sharpshooters. In 1999, the group issued their fifth album for Epitaph, Fly the Flag. Split followed a year later. When Windwardtidesandwaywardsails dropped in 2003, original drummer Nazworthy was back in the fold.
