Local Loft Episode 299

It's almost Halloween, by now you know the routine.

 

They'll be no tricks, as you open the player on your device of choice, it's always a treat. Lots of ear candy. So dig into another ear and mouthwatering soundtrack of original Chicagoland metal, punk, alternative rock & power pop. 

With a name like Coyote Man, you'd expect lyrics of spooky, body devouring creatures always on the prowl for human flesh. But this Coyote Man is on the hunt for Soundgrowler Brewing in Tinley Park, where three days before Halloween (October 28th), the Northwest Chicago instrumental hard rock trio brings video tales of Anime warriors & devils in the ultimate battle of world destruction. Drummer Ian Wheeler joins me to preview Coyote Man's first ever live show at Soundgrowler.

They still got a good, good U.S. beat and the great great spirit of cliff Johnson rocking with them as they make a Quick Turn in the direction of Des Plaines Theater on November 16th. I got the details of the post Cliff Off Broadway's next show.

Taran De Pablos has made a big turn away from the progressive thrash metal of Fierce Atmospheres. He's motoring straight for the garage with a Stones (not Stoner) rock groove. I'll spin the new single from The Midnight Calls.

Tanzen kung fu'd their way (not moshed) to Reggie's Rock Club with a new wave of hardcore metal, seven years ago this week at Reggie's Rock Club. We rock back to it.
