We are a 3 piece grungy/bluesy/rock band that's been playin' since July 2003. *
Here's a little history lesson behind our name:
Thomas Hoyne Irregularly elected Mayor of Chicago, 1876
Party: Independent
Elected: April 18, 1876
Thomas Hoyne's election was declared null and void by the Circuit Court. His tenure is best explained by the following extract from the Chicago Bureau of Statistics and Municipal Library's 1911
Chicago City Manual:
"Thomas Hoyne, in 1876, was elected Mayor under circumstances that it were hard to explain without occupying more space than can well be afforded for the purpose. In brief, the city in that year had adopted a new general incorporation act, which changed the mayoralty elections from November to April. Mayor Colvin was advised by his counsel that he had a right to hold over from the fall to the next spring. His term was not so extended by the charter, but the council failed to call a special election for Mayor. Later the Judiciary Committee reported an ordinance for a special election in response to a petition of a large number of citizens. In the ensuing November there was an election for city officers, but the two parties made no nominations for Mayor. But at a meeting of 40,000 citizens, held in the Exposition Building of the day, Thomas Hoyne was nominated and he ran at large, receiving 33,064 votes. The question in the Council then was on the duty to canvass this vote. Alderman Cullerton of the expiring Council moved that the votes be counted, but the motion was lost. But finally the votes for Mr. Hoyne were counted by the new Council and he was declared duly elected; he was sworn in. The thus chosen Mayor waited on Mayor Colvin and demanded the office, which demand was refused, and thereupon a legal contest begun. At several meetings of the Council Mayor Hoyne presided, and he exercised otherwise many of the functions of that office. All the heads of the departments, except the Comptroller, acknowledged his right to that office. The Judiciary Committee reported a declaration that Mayor Hoyne was not only de facto, but also de jure Mayor. But an appeal was made to the courts and Mayor Hoyne, having tired of the controversy, resigned, and Mayor Colvin served till another successor was chosen at a special election held July 12, 1876. Mayor Hoyne was killed in a railroad collision on the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg railroad near Carlton Station, N.Y., July 27, 1883. He was 66 years of age."
