Local Loft Episode 321

Chicagoland area original metal, punk, alternative rock and power pop... the final frontier? Not totally. And since I'm not totally able to type out this LL 321 playlist on this cheap faulty laptop technology! My equipment is in major fail mode. So, hopefully, I can give you the Cliff's notes version of what you'll hear.

Space Age Zeros will launch themselves from their native Channahon (South Of Joliet) with a tasty menu of futuristic power pop (including songs about failed dates with down tom earth girls named Susie Moon), at Punk Rock Tacos 45, Friday, April 5th at The Cubby Bear, across the street from historic Wrigley Field. Bassist Jason Baygood joins me to get you psyched to pogo off the fatting meal of ground beef and soft corn tortillas.

Pete Berwick is not only a outlaw country, and cowpunk rebel singer, but an accomplished author. He just wrote a tell all biography on the forgotten late 70s Chicago biker rock band, The Boyzz (from Illinois). He tells a killer story in a not so deadly new acoustic single from his just released mostly unplugged album, Frustration Alley. I'll give it a spin.

Before the world was left physically, emotionally and financially hanging by a cliff, thanks to that unwanted killer virus COVID 19. Wire in Berwyn, which would succumb to COVID financial shutdown welcomed the Berwyn and Downers Grove punk pop band, Cliffhanger, who had a packed crowd hanging around tom form a giant mosh pit as they rocked on stage five years ago this week. We rock back to it.
