The Mentally Ill

Chicago, Illinois

The Mentally Ill was a punk band originating from Deerfield, Illinois in the late 1970s. Their 1979 7" single Gacy's Place named after notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy, is considered by many to be one of the most unusual and legendary records of the early Chicago punk rock scene.
