Happy Anniversary...to you. It's been eight years since I launched this independent podcast with the goal of extensively covering a Chicagoland original local music scene that's never short of creative talent. Encompassing many different genres, we have covered a lot of ground. without active participation in getting out to live shows, this would be nothing more than a internet jukebox of personal favorites. It is because of the band and artists in Metal, Punk, Alternative Rock & Power Pop & their creative hard work that Local Loft rocks on.
For nineteen years, HEMI from the far South Side of Chicago has rocked out to the masses an old school meets modern day aggressively hard rock style with a distinctive angry but upbeat vocal style. Longtime singer/bassist/front man Trent Zuberi is very versatile & can sing a number of styles from rap to hardcore metal. He joins me as HEMI headlines a post St. Patrick's weekend gig at Livewire Lounge, Friday, March 24th.
The long awaited (seven years to be exact) fourth album by Westmont swamp rockers Convoy is about ready for the release show treatment. Some Gave All For Rock N Roll ends on an F note. If you're easily offended, then don't truck on down to Rockstars Garage in Plainfield Saturday March 18th. I've got a foul mouth preview sure to acquire parental guidance.
As we fight our way through another brutal work week, you'll be skipping like a leprechaun to Friday. No luck of the Irish was needed for fans of the band formerly known as Punch Cabbie. They weren't rubbing a four-leaf clover either to punch their admission ticket to the Vans Warped Tour. They were halfway there, when I talked to them backstage before they rocked the Blarney Stone to its cracked foundation, seven years ago this week at Brauerhouse in Lombard. We rock back to it.
Along with these, you'll be playing your air shillelagh like a weapon of rock destruction as you jig slam dance to the lucky music charms of:
