Kate Fagan took the Chicago punk rock scene by storm in the early ‘80s with her self-released single “I Don’t Wanna Be Too Cool, ” which became the best-selling single ever by a local artist at the legendary Wax Trax! Records. In 2016, Manufactured Recordings (an affiliate of Brooklyn’s Captured Tracks) reissued the coveted 7” with the original B-side "Waiting for the Crisis" and two bonus tracks, which quickly sold out. Today, Captured Tracks is thrilled to announce plans to present an expanded, re-mastered edition of I Don’t Wanna Be Too Cool as a full-length vinyl album, featuring four additional unreleased, ahead-of-their-time tracks, available February 24, 2023.
“The vocal expresses the potency and stamina of sexual ambition.”
Captured Tracks is thrilled to announce the release of the previously unreleased track “Cover It Up” a song originally composed for Fagan’s rock opera “The Kissing Concept”, a love story inspired by the ‘70s/’80s nightclub scene that Fagan had explored during her time in New York, which premiered at Park West and Limelight nightclubs.
The single release for “Cover It Up” comes with a new music video featuring archival footage from a performance at The Vic Theatre in Chicago.
