Lovers Lane
In The Flesh

A Waxy salute

| April 14, 2011

Some people plan to purchase a record when they turn 33 1/3rd, a quaint self-acknowledgement combined with retro consumerism. If you’re Wax Trax, however, you throw a party.

The legendary Chicago-based record label and store will celebrate this appropriate anniversary on April 15th, 16th, and 17th at Metro featuring Front 242, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Luc Van Acker, Paul Barker, Chris Connelly, En Esch, Guenter Schultz, Raymond Watts, and Rights Of The Accused all to benefit Center On Halsted. The families of deceased founders Jim Nash and Dannie Flesher will be on hand to commemorate the duo, who moved from Denver to Lincoln Avenue in 1978 and lasted until the mid-’90s. Along with regular admission, Metro’s offering a VIP package with limited-edition bonuses.
