in the latest issue of the voluminous print mag the big takeover, tbt’s jack rabid gets an interview with john kezdy of the effigies. this original chicago punk-era institution reunited a couple of times in 2004 and is working on their first new record in a decade and a half.

embodying the resolutely intellectual approach to rock music and its subject matter that characterized lots of chicago punk from the original era, singer kezdy name-checked albert camus and uttered his quote: “of modern man, they will say: he fornicated and read the papers.”

at least the fornication continues.
