"Even children get older, and I'm getting older too". (Fleetwood Mac Landslide, 1975). Young and old rock together in this new episode of Local Loft. From the teenage thrash metal of Deprived of Construct, the garage punk of the thirtysomething mostly female band Boybrain, to the eighties power pop of The Kind, we'll span the years to find the constant variety of original Chicago area and Illinois metal, punk, alternative and progressive rock, and power pop.
From the smart college town of Dekalb, the three teenage guys in Deprived Of Construct write and sing of political protests, Jungian primal scram therapy and corporate expansion, and they've not yet chosen a university to get a degree at. I talk to Matthew Trunk and Greg Reed as they get ready to rock Village Spirit Pub in Round Lake Beach this Saturday.
Boybrain has more girls than boys in the band, and rocks with a punk Veruca Salt-ish swagger. They're headlining day number three of Save The Rock Fest, Sunday at Liar's Club.
Beginning in 1975, The Kind would gain local, if not national radio recognition, with their self-titled debut album, from the second lineup of the Oak Park based power pop band. A special 40th anniversary salute to that first album.
Corey James screamed his way back on local Chicago Southlands stages five years ago this week, fronting his third metal band, the melodic hardcore Vent To Atmosphere. A rick back to when I first introduced them to Local Loft listeners from their first live gig at Cheers Pub in Midlothian.
