Another year over, and hopefully, a new one just beginning, with many more COVID free restrictions and chances to get out safely and experience the wide variety of original Chicago area and Ilinois metal, punk, alternative, progressive rock and power pop. The opportunity is always here to introduce you to it in cyberspace.
Chicago's Jury Of Fears is looking to safely get out and rock live with national melodic metal acts Drowning Pool, Hed PE ,and Il Nino, March 25th at the Forge in Joliet. I talk with JOF drummer Stefan Krupiarz, and spin the soundtrack to their new music video, whose storyline was inspired by a knife fingernail clawing horror film stalker.
An entire weekend will be devoted to getting many Chicagoland music venues back up and running, after they took a financial plunge due to the ongoing COVID pandemic. Save The Rock and Roll Fest, will be the weekend of January 14-16 at Reggie's in the South Loop. Proving a band can get very aggressive without angry and intense vocals is From Beyond These Walls. Guitarist Erik Kirke joins me to talk about their upcoming there and their diverse mix of Jazz Rock Fusion and Progressive Metal.
While veteran Glam rockers Enuff Z'NUff don't get completely 80s retro in headlining a special benefit show for the Chicago Police Fund this Saturday in Joliet, We rock it back five years ago this week to Sullivan's in Midlothian, where the charismatic and stellar frontwoman of powerhouse melodic band Phosphene shines on stage alone. Five years ago this week, Jeni Imparato kept rocking with the hopes that her trademark band would hit the road again.
