28 – Chris Sutter (Meat Wave, Truman & His Trophy, Winter Is Broken)

Summary: Chris Sutter wanted a drum set. His father, however, decided to buy him an acoustic guitar and a book of AC/DC tabs instead. The future Meat Wave front man made the most of the situation by starting a nameless basement project in middle school, then a full-fledged band in high school. Graduation found new influences and collaborators coming Sutter's way, which brought on Truman & His Trophy — a band that led the suburban Chicago kid to the Windy City proper. Then along came Meat Wave.
