Local Loft Episode 213

Heart warming, sweet sounds of original Chicago area and Illinois metal, punk, alternative and progressive rock and power pop make great ear candy all year long. The kind oyu don't have to gift box. The gift of music goes great with a romantic dinner and night of dancing, as long as oyu and your significant other have the same taste in music.

Featuring rebellious, fiery energy punk rock that you can use to slam dance off a few yummy helpings of an essential Tuesday all day menu item, Punk Rock Tacos brings together a scrumptious menu of Punk Indie and alt rock bands in Villa Park. The sixth showcase show is February 25th. Claidius Timebomb are four guys who have experimented with different music styles. Drummer Paul Schmidt joins me to talk about their involvement in it, and their extensive instrumental blend of punk and progressive rock. This event will also feature Chicago Space Punk veterans Hotlips Messiah, in their second show without longtime frontwoman Traci Trouble, who officially left last fall to concentrate totally as singer and leader of Aweful.

M & R Rush will slowly rock into their 42nd year of touring with a Memorial Day Weekend return to the stage at 115 Bourbon Street in Merrionette Park. A not so careful tune of a clumsy romance written by Illinois Rock Hall of Famer Jim Peterik, which the band did on their 2018 album Between The Lines.

In addition to these, you're feeling the love of original Chicagoland and Illinois artists, who are always passionate to making sweet musical ear candy, as you feel your loving heart race to the ultra fast tempos of:
