Local Loft Episode 147

Merry Halloween! I've scared up a bloody good soundtrack of Chicagoland area & Illinois metal,punk,prog rock,alt-rock, & power pop, to headbang under the mistletoe...as long as you're by yourself, or six feet away, not six feet under, from another person.

Chicago horror metal trio Macabre rocks up a gory,bloody,heart ripping. good time on any of their albums. They once again get away with murder (through the graphic memories they conjure up) on Carnival Of Killers,their first full length release since GrIm Scary Tales in 2011. I spin two bizarre new offerings from the new disc.

 Chicago melodic metal trio Let Them Fight declares war against state COVID venue restrictions to co headline a socially distant show with former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson in West Chicago.

Sons of Serenity could have easily blended in with the Grunge movement of the mid 90s. The Mokena/Frankfort based five man band was first introduced to Kat 105.5 listeners nine years ago this week, we rock back to that all unplugged debut

Veteran pub/power pop rocker Kevin Lee got his first break in Nashville, but did not become the next big thing in the national country music scene. Back ten years ago this week, when I first introduced him to Kat 105.5 listeners with a brilliant unplugged set.
