Wax Trax! Remembered!

Once upon a time…. well, back in the 80’s, there was a record store with an indie label attached.  Wax Trax! Records!!  It started with a few 12″ singles and ended up one of the most influential record labels for Industrial music.  The label was home to Ministry, Front 242, KMFDM among so many others.  2445 N. Lincoln Ave became the center of the industrial universe.  This weekend, a documentary about the label called Industrial Accident: The Untold Story Of Wax Trax! Records will premiere at The Vic Theatre with 2 showings tomorrow at 2:30 and 8:30.  Each will be followed by a panel of artists and people associated with the label.  There are no plans to distribute the film yet so I’d take advantage of this screening.  Click here for tickets.   -wALT
