![]() But in all honesty it was for the fan base. We would have thought, “Oh that would be cool,” but then we would never do it (laughs). I don’t think if we had known we would have done it. But because I and my husband aren’t filmmakers, we had no idea how horribly grueling it was going to be (laughs). I understand that it was important for others to hear this story and have this documentation, but why was it ultimately a worthwhile project for you? It’s a about a wonderful place, and the two people who made it possible.ĬCS: Right, but making a film like this is an enormous effort in terms of both time and emotional investment. The film is for people knew my dad and Dannie as well as those who didn’t. I had no idea the impact that the record store and the label had on people, or just how my dad and Dannie had managed to change so many lives. ![]() It wasn’t supposed to go past that in any way, but speaking with the fans during that three-day event was just incredible. It was a respectful send-off and a way for everyone to get together one last time.

CCS: Why was it important for you to make this film? JN: No problem! Good morning to you as well. The conversation was recorded over the phone and transcribed below, edited for content and clarity.ĬCS: Good Morning, Julia, thank you for agreeing to speak with me about your documentary and its forthcoming soundtrack. The soundtrack to the documentary will be released on Record Store Day 2019, and Julia was gracious enough to speak with us about her work compiling the documentary, the legacy of Wax Trax!, and life, both inside and outside the music industry. Wax Trax! Was a key player in the ‘80s and ‘90s in the experimental dance and post-punk scene and served as the proving grounds for many of the acts that would become synonymous with the term “industrial.” Julia has spent the last decade compiling and editing footage from home movies and interviews and shaping them into what is now an award-winning documentary that tells the full story of her father’s label Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records. ![]() Julia Nash is the daughter of Jim Nash, famed owner of one of Chicago’s, (and really the world’s), most influential record stores and labels.
