"When summer's gone...where will we be?" (The Doors-Summer's Almost Gone-1968)
Given the very active Chicago area's original music scene, from four outdoor Punk Rock Tacos shows, to a confused locating and relocating of the overhyped Riot Fest, the Fall that follows will be just as unpredictable. Keep up with all the changes and new artists on the scene with Local Loft.
When you least expect it, Colleen Wild & The Haunted burst onto the original Chicagoland music scene with a powerful, intimate singing style and a tight melodic hard rock sound. They rocked and won over a packed crowd during the Sunset Stroll Bike Ride and live music event at the Kankakee Farmer's Market in the heart of downtown K3. With serious lyric images of parents abandoning their children, and the anticipation of salvation, they were on top of their music game. I talk with Colleen & the Haunted after their stellar gig, which mixed tunes from their debut EP, Nest, with rare acoustic renditions of songs from the soon to be released second follow up album.
The following Midnight Calls show for the last weekend of August will be brought to you in Living Colour. The raunchy hard rock meets blues rock band fronted by fiery singer Taran De Pablos will open for the smash late 80's hard rock band known for their radio hits Cult Of Personality & Glamour Boys, Saturday At The Forge in Joliet. I have a new flowery single, which channel Midnight Calls inner AC/DC.
What passes for Country music nowadays is very vague (Luke Bryan & Florida Geogia Line are the biggest imposters) Righteous Hillbillies may look Country, they don't play like it, which the four man Joliet band fronted by Brent James, certainly proved at Hopstring Fest, eight years ago this week at Silver Cross Field in their hometown. We rock Back to it.
