Remember The Roar!
A slogan for the Chicago Blackhawks last season at historic Chicago Stadium in 1993. It is also one that will be used as you let the growling, heavy distinctive guitar tones and vocal delivery of the original Chicagoland metal, punk, alternative rock and power pop scene roar through both ears and into your brain tissue.
On this three hundred eighty fifth edition of Local Loft, Ricky Liontones not only has a chunky, melodic, and psychedelic tones, but a multi ranged singing style that recalls Prince and his high-pitched screaming lead vocal, but also the funky, gruff guitar shredding of Lenny Kravitz and the free form wailing of Jimi Hendrix. Chicago based Ricky and his Liontones Revue recently were discovered rocking a very active crowd of AC/DC fans during an after show for the legendary Australian hard rockers May 24th sold out Soldier Field show. Ricky opens for another iconic band ,Enuff Z'Nuff at The Forge in Joliet. I talked with Ricky about his unique shredding and singing style, and we spin two earth shaking new tunes from third full length album, DejaVolution.
