Boom Hank released one of the 90s best “sleeper” albums, “Nuisance,” on Pravda back in 1995. With only days away from Boom Hank kicking off Pravda Fest at Sketchbook Brewing in Skokie (4901 Main St.), I sat down with Stump and Chris from the band to talk about their history in the Chicago scene, the inherent challenges of learning how to play all their songs again, and what might come next. Are you ready for a Boom Hank DOUBLE LP? Perhaps? I am.
