Naked Raygun was a very influential Chicago-based punk band of the 1980s and early 1990s. All incarnations featured Jeff Pezzati on vocals. Members over time include Bobby Strange, Jim Colao, and Eric Spicer on drums, Marco Pezzati, Pierre Kezdy, and Camilo Gonzalez on bass, and Santiago Durango, John Haggerty, and Bill Stephens on guitar.
