Remember the Anthrax Club?Some of you may remember me and some of you will have no clue. My name is Chris Daily, and I used to do a few zines (Skate Confusion and Smorgasbord) back in the 80’s, as well as a record label. The first release was a comp 7″ recorded with Jeff R in the Anthrax on 01/24/1988.
The Anthrax Club was a place that we all spent a lot of time at. A club that brought live music into our lives at a crucial point in our adolescence. The bands that played there, the photos we all have seen, the flyers and the genius booking schedules…amazing.
For years I have thought about doing a book that would document the history and the excitement we all felt. 2009 brings that desire to a head. In talking with the owners, Shaun and Brian Sheridan, we agreed; a book is great idea. They are on board and pulling things out of storage. You have no idea how excited I am.
Without wasting any more of your time, I’d like to direct you to a web page announcing the project. I have spoken to a few of the old regulars but I want to document every one’s experience. Please take a look at the page, I am searching for anything you may have or remember that will make the story of the Anthrax Club more complete.
I hope to hear from you soon.

As for me, I don’t remember. I was age 6 in 1985. I was down with matchbox cars and Michael Jackson’s Thriller album. But if you were there, hit up Daily as he’s a good dude with a great idea.
