Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, the Haymakers nightclubs in Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs were a breeding ground for international superstars Cheap Trick, Survivor, Head East, and literally hundreds of local Chicago and Midwest bands. Haymakers closed for good on February 16, 1984. A group of regular patrons, former employees, and the many local bands that performed there have decided the time is right for a reunion. I was asked to perform with the band Tantrum for this event. They were a female fronted band ahead of my time on the Chicago scene. To my sisters and I, just starting out, their stature was something to emulate. A few years later, I did play Haymakers with my first band “Sirenz” so I am happy to contribute to this charitable event. February 26, 2012 Durty Nellie’s 180 N.
