Local Loft Episode 301

Open up both ear canals and say AHHH! There's treats a plenty. I've scared up another hour and half worth of ear candy of the original Chicago area metal, punk, alternative rock & power pop assorted variety. Rock out in costume if you must. Although no formal or cheap crude dress code here.

Throw up a devil horn hand sign and prepare for a real screamer with Surf Candy. This early 20s grunge hard rock trio from Chicago will dress like a typical 90s grunge rock band, that means plenty of flannel shirts. As you will find out from singer & guitarist Ian Young, 90s grunge acts like Nirvana aren't the only inspiration for the sludgy sound they will lay down, in a Halloween Night gig this Tuesday at the legendary Val's Halla record store in Oak Park. Ian joins me to talk about the show, as well as Surf Candy's new single Fall.

Macabre will extend Halloween haunting festivities into the merriest season of all. I'll have all the details on their spooktacular 25th anniversary edition of Holiday Of Horror. While Sinister Fate trades hedonism for hobgoblins on their new single, due out the on the day before the big candy and pumpkin fest.

No exorcisms will expel the presence of Beelzebub, as we rock back to seven years ago this week, when Satan's Hallow brought a hella good rock show to Reggie's Music Joint. We rock back to it.
