"When we started, we thought we were great, but nobody would agree. But we're not giving up, we'll show them!" (Stiff Little Fingers-Wait And See-1980)
It's really difficult, as an original Chicagoland metal, punk, alternative rock or power pop band, to get one listener, let alone a venue or club owner, to take your unfamiliar, non-cover music seriously. Way too many venue owners booking cover band. Make Local Loft your stage, an anyone around the world your audience. The many hours of effort you put in to...

The many hours of effort you put in to your tunes will be appreciated, and will make foundations, ceilings and bodies of water tremor and ripple.
The mighty old, muddy Kankakee River will be rippling like a massive tidal wave with Chaos On The Kankakee. This Saturday, October 11th, The Office Bar & Grill features nine intense metal acts. From the Southern Fried guitar growl of Redneck Remedy and the Harmonica driven Sludge Metal of Wolfdozer, to the mostly instrumental free form Doom Metal of Levitating Giant, you'll be locked in a seismic headbanging groove. I talk with Aaron Langlois, singer and guitarist of Levitating Giant, whose extensive hardcore metal jam sessions are now including screaming lead vocals. Go to Chaos On The Kankakee's Facebook Page for more info.
Delivering a scarifying spoken word screaming vocal, Shock Rocker David Bates is a pioneer of Rap Metal. He incorporates synthesized hip hot beats and DJ scratches into Sinister Fate's fifth studio album, Profit Of Doom, inflicting a monstrous hurt on your listening pleasure. The Bad Examples come alive again at a legendary Route 66 Roadhouse, Fitzgeralds in Berwyn.
With a blend of 70s style Southern Rock, and classic Country, Hogtown Packing Company had sloshed bikers at the first Freakster's Roadhouse in Wilmington all revved up for more. They mosied on into our Kat 105.5 studio, fourteen years ago. We rock back to it.
Rivers will reverse flow, and speakers will tremor like crumbling canyons, as you chaotically test the sonic boundaries of your speakers by cranking up:
Levitating Giant-Nephilium (with new lead vocal by Aaron Langlois)
Levitating Giant-Untitled (with new vocal by Aaron Langlois)
Wolfdozer-Down Home
