On June 21st, 2012 Jamie Duffy passed away in the early morning hours, leaving
behind a legacy much greater than his known contributions to the industrial and metal genres.
Even if you didn't know Jamie Duffy, odds are that you still KNEW of Jamie Duffy and his work as he served as stage manager or as the soundman at many of your favorite Chicago venues such as the House of Blues, Cubby Bear, and Cabaret Metro amongst many others. He appeared on,mixed, produced, engineered, remixed or just plain influenced many of your favorite bands such as Chicago's very own Ministry, Sister Machine Gun, Chris Connelly, Sister Soleil, Method Man
and more.
In addition to being a sound engineer and producer, Jamie was also well known across Industrial Music's landscape for his contributions as a member of the Coldwave/Metal hybrid band, Acumen Nation, and the Drum and Bass project, Dj? Acucrack not to mention his appearances on Pigface,Chemlab and Cyanotic albums
Jamie Duffy's contribution to the Metal and Industrial genres crossed over from releases on major record labels such as Warner Bros. Records and RCA records, to large independents such as WaxTrax!Records, to the smaller independent labels such as Invisible, Underground Inc, CrackNation records, WTII Records, Fifth Column and Metropolis records so it is more than likely that Jamie Duffy has touched you in some way even if you didn't realize it at first.
With that being said Bottom Lounge, Jason Novak and Cracknation Records,David Schock of WTII Records, his friends, family and the Duffy Foundation put together a incredible type of memorial show. Paying tribute to this great man at this unique "festival" type show were several of Jamie Duffy's peers and friends with whom he produced, remixed,engineered or just plain influenced. An all star cast including such well known names of the industrial genre includes Paul Barker, Chris Connelly, Jared Louche, Martin Atkins, Steven Seibold,Jim Marcus, Jason Novak, Eric Powell, Sean Payne and others performed selections of songs by their bands; CHEMLAB,COCKS MEMBERS (revCCo),ACUMEN NATION,16VOLT,DAMAGE MANUAL,THE FINAL CUT,THE CLAY PEOPLE,HATE DEPT,IRON LUNG CORP.,GO FIGHT!,CZAR,I:SCINTILLA, and CYANOTIC, and then finished with an all star jam worthy to pay their respect to this amazing man who is sorely missed every day
Was this a once in a lifetime show or will it lead to something bigger? Could his energy, determination, and influence lead this to become a yearly event?
Guess you are going to have to wait to find out!
What Would Jamie Duffy Do?
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
