Local Loft Episode 168

From the Prison City to the Mile High City. The music impact of Chicagoland area and Illinois bands goes far beyond the city and state boundaries. That impact and the music that generates it can be felt throughout cyberspace, and and it all starts with this podcast.

Joliet Punk rockers Prison City Brigade have expanded their musical boundaries way beyond the lightning fast nature of three chord basic Punk and Punk Pop. They will be part a scorching lineup of local and national acts at The Empire Of Fire, April 23rd-25th in Bradley. I talk to singer/founder Eddie Cavanaugh, and bassist Paige about their upcoming gig. 

Chicago alternative, grunge and punk pop band Death Pop Radio toured during the high impact period of the COVID pandemic, especially the  period where many national and Chicago area  venues were close to completely shutting down, due to financial difficulties. I have a new punchy single from them.

Brian Eaton is a one in a million solo artist, producer and music arranger. Ten years ago this week, he showed many sides of his music creativity with a new solo album, Graphic Nature. We revisit his first visit to The Kat 105.5 studio.
