Background notes

Archive material and source history

88 Fingers Louie came out of Chicago in the early 1980s. The band's lineup included vocalist John 'Spider' McShane, guitarists Bryan Kienlen and Derek Grant, bassist Steve Saiz, and drummer Sid Montz. They put out their debut album '100 Proof' in 1982, which gave them a following in underground circles.

Songs like '100 Proof,' 'Pent Up,' and 'Blink' became staples for fans drawn to their straightforward punk energy. The band kept recording through the '80s and '90s with albums like 'Walk on Water' and 'Louder Than Ever,' though their sound shifted some over those years.

Spider McShane stayed with the group through various lineup changes that brought in other players like guitarists Howie Feldman and Scott Johnson. Their music, especially those early tracks, still gets played by people who like that kind of raw Chicago punk.
