An insider's look at how Chicago's underground music industry transformed indie rock in the 1990s.

In the 1990s, Chicago was at the center of indie rock, propelling bands like the Smashing Pumpkins and Liz Phair to the national stage. The musical ecosystem from which these bands emerged, though, was expansive and diverse. Grunge players comingled with the electronic, jazz, psychedelic, and ambient music communities, and an inventive, collaborative group of local labels--kranky, Drag City, and Thrill Jockey, among others--embraced the new, evolving sound of indie rock. Bruce Adams, co-founder of kranky records, was there to bear witness.
