Wanton Looks: 'Upset, ticked off, ready to rock'

Traci Trouble and Meg Thomas had been bumping around the Chicago scene for several years in separate bands when they finally saw each other play at a pool hall in Buffalo Grove in 2006. Thomas, a classically trained drummer, loved Trouble’s take-no-prisoners stage presence and commanding attitude. Trouble admired Thomas’ ferocious virtuosity. Before long they were writing hard-hitting but melodic rock songs together and decided to form a band: the Wanton Looks.
