Ex-MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer formed a supergroup of sorts when he established Mad for the Racket. Merely a project for strict rock roll enjoyment, Kramer and Brian James (Lords to the New Church, Damned) experimented with their own musical stylings and allowed fellow counterparts such as Stewart Copeland (the Police), Duff McKagen (Guns N' Roses), and Clem Burke (Blondie) to tinker around as well. The Racketeers marked Kramer's and James' stellar collaborations and was issued on Kramer's own Muscle Tone Records in fall 2001. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
