My name is Anthony Dadomeyer and the only reason I joined this crackerjack encyclopedia was to start a set of pages that would essentially encompass my late father's former band Czolgosz & The Vanzettis and their albums, related acts, etc. But the powers that be (i.e. bored 15 year-olds with a god complex) see fit to call my articles irrelevent and unimportant. Fine. I'll post them here until I can find a way to verify them as "viable" to the Wikinazis.

Czolgosz & The Vanzettis was a punk band from Brandon, Florida.
Originally called Anarchy Hierarchy the band changed its name following the release of their debut EP to avoid confusion between themselves and Anarchy 101, a Tampa, Florida-based punk band operating at the same time.
They recorded with Big 386 Records and released all of their albums and EPs through the studios in-house record company of the same name. In support of their releases the band would play in various venues in the area, most notably Sound Idea.
The band disbanded in 1999 following Greg Dadomeyer's heroin overdose. At the time, the band was in the process of signing a recording deal with Sire Records. After Dadomeyer's death, however, they felt they shouldn't continue as Czolgosz & The Vanzettis and called it quits.
Greg Tadoz went on to form the alternative rock band Redthirteen, named for the character from Final Fantasy VII.
Chris Valla performed with Redthirteen temporarily before forming his own group, Chris Valla & The Adventures.
Craig Chambers went into production and, in fact, produced redthirteen's debut album as well as all three Chris Valla & The Adventures albums to date.

Czolgosz & The Vanzettis (1997) |
McKinley is the sophomore album by Brandon, Florida punk band Czolgosz & The Vanzettis, released on August 8, 1995.
The album was recorded in February and March 1995 but wasn't mastered until late July due to the producer Tern Brooks being fired from Big 386 Records. As a form of protest Brooks hid the album he had been mastering at the time (McKinley). The album was eventually found and Craig Chambers finished mastering the album just in time for the pre-scheduled release date.
All of the songs were written by Craig Chambers, except track 15 which is a cover of a Captain Beefheart song and track 1 which is an instrumental introduction and was composed by guitarist Chris Valla.

[edit] Notes
- Tracks 3, 7, 9, 12 & 16 are technically untitled but are commonly known by the first line(s) spoken. They are sounbites of Milton Chambers, Craig's grandfather.
- On the insert the title on "Error & Error" appears to be "Trial & Error" but the word Trial is crossed out and Error is written above it in red.
- Track 16 is actually only 13 seconds long but is followed by about a minute of silence and then a loop of Milton Chambers saying "sassafrass".
