It's June 2001. Keith Streng steers a cramped mini-van north along
Lincoln Avenue in Chicago while Peter Zaremba, Bill Milhizer and
Ken Fox sprawl in the back nursing hangovers and road weariness.
They pull into the Apache, quaintly described as a "hooker hotel"
by local folk, and drag their gear and merchandise into a decrepit
room. Blood is splattered on the ceiling, roaches scurry on the
walls and grainy porn blares on the television. Next door, two
obese half-naked guys sit on a bed with an enormous bottle of cheap
bourbon between them, staring idly at the TV.The Fleshtones are
celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary, but there aren't any
sold-out venues or golden gifts to cash in. A quarter century into
it and the guys still crash on promoters' floors or share small
beds in dingy hotels like the Apache."I don't want fame, I want
notoriety," Peter Zaremba once said, and in the years since making
that statement he has indeed become the charismatic leader of his
own cult. The Fleshtones stand as the ultimate example of
principle, pride and determination. A group of working-class guys
testifying to a cause in the face of odds stacked so highly against
them that they are destined to forever play in the shadows. "Sweat"
is a bare-knuckled account of road-paving rock & roll played in
the real world, where success measured over the long haul is
redefined each and every hard-won morning.
