No curfews (listen whenever you want)
No algorithms (this music is for music fans, not corporate clients)
The playlist is music intensive and focuses on the newest and freshest original Chicago area metal, punk, alternative rock and power pop. There's always an undiscovered band or artist.
I first discovered Vaudevileins 13 years ago in the Summer of 2011. The Joliet based Alternative rock 4 man delivers Lights Out, their sixth album with a recurring theme of isolation caused by the first horrifying weeks of the 2020 Covid 19 worldwide pandemic. I talk with singer, guitarist and founder Jeff Julian, backstage at The Roxy Theatre in downtown Lockport, as they unveil the new record in its entirety. You'll also hear from the eclectic Kankakee area band, Shaper. They present a new style of free form progressive rock with their debut album, Live At Third City Sound.
Trouble on the Awful front? The Chicago garage rock trio, fronted by singer/bassist Traci Trouble i s calling it quits, with a final gig to start off May, at the Beer Can'd Festival in Blue Island. I've got the terrible but rockin' good news.
Making a slingshot entrance by thie political rant filled hard funk rock eight years ago this week, Joliet's Catapult The Propaganda rocked the dilapidated surroundings of EXIT, the premier Chicago Punk Rock club by the banks of the Chicago River on North Avenue. We rock back to when I gave them the chance to slingshot their way onto the Local Loft cyberwaves for the first time as a full trio.
Put this episode on repeat, like a slingshot boomerang. You'll be wanting more of this original Chicago area music soundtrack in times of darkened sleep or a daylight run, when you hold tight till episode's end by rocking with:
