MORE INFO: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Library & Archives celebrates its current project to process over 500 previously unavailable archival collections and make them available to the public with an exhibit opening event including panel discussions from NEO Sound donors. Panelists include longtime musicians and Rock Hall donors Chris Butler (Waitresses, Tin Huey, 15 60 75) and Marky Ray (terrible parade, Death on a Stick, Death of Samantha, Jim Rose Circus, New Salem Witch Hunters), and photographer Dave Treat, who took some of the earliest images of the legendary Cleveland band the Dead Boys. The National Archives grants program, carried out through the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), awarded a The evening will conclude with a reception in the Library & Archives reading room, where attendees can view a new archival exhibit entitled Local Music U Want: Northeast Ohio Punk and New Wave, showcasing materials donated by the panelists and made available through the NHPRC grant. Local Music U Want focuses on the unique Northeast Ohio punk and new wave scenes of the 1970s and ‘80s, fueled by the changing post-industrial landscape of the “Rust Belt.” Unlike other music scenes in the U.S., Northeast Ohio punk and new wave primarily flew under the radar, allowing the music to evolve into something more avant-garde and exploratory. Featured in the exhibit are photos, stickers, flyers, cassette zines and other promotional materials from the Rock Hall’s NEO Sound collections on local bands the Dead Boys, Devo, New Salem Witch Hunters, Death of Samantha, the Waitresses, Pere Ubu, the Styrenes, Pagans, Tin Huey, and 15 60 75 (The Numbers Band). |
