It was a supergroup we never got to hear: The Tarts brought together members of Naked Raygun, Mister Furley, Muchacha, Dummy and My Big Beautiful to wow crowds in the late '90s, and recorded an album in 2000 that never came out. Chicagoist's music editor, Tankboy, convinced them to release their lost album today, 15 years later.
