Local Loft Episode 261

Crunch on this! Your hunger for a nutritious podcast platter of original Chicagoland metal. punk, alternative rock and power pop is about to be fed. You'll hear it, if not smell or taste it. 

A good hearty meal and a full menu of music always go hand in hand at Punk Rock Tacos. Death in Memphis won't be travelling a long distance to rock you while that delicious concoction of hard shells, tortillas and ground beef slides down your throat to your stomach. Working double duty to whet your punk rock appetite is Steve Custer. He not only plays in Death in Memphis, but Space Age Zeros. Both bands join four others in the 22nd edition at Cemitas Poblanas in Villa Park, Friday, February 10th. Steve joins me to talk about it with scrumptious music selections from both bands.

If a liquid diet is for you, you can wash down the classic progressive metal sound of Plainfield's Endgame with a side of brand-new IPA. I'll spoil the secret identity of the beer, which a big Southland's rock radio station is helping to serve up Friday at Metal Monkey Brewing in Romeoville.

Threatening The Order posed a big threat to Mother Nature's plans to inflict sever frostbite on many Chicago local metal fans. The searing vocals of singer Melissa Radice fire up and warmed up the crowd at Reggie's seven years ago this week. We rock back to that.
