Local Loft Episode 35

Hop,pogo,line or slam dance to it. The widespread Chicagoland,Southlands,stateline & downstate Illinois music scene is movin' & groovin' in many styles & genres. From the bluesy,countrifired boogie rock of Joliet's Righteous Hillbillies to the angry young metalcore of When Night Falls....The music flows through your brain,,ears & bloodstream like a nice,cold swig of craft beer down your throat. Righteous Hillbillies have just released their fourth CD, Two Wheels Down a Lost Highway. I talk to singer & founder Brent James,& newcomer guitarist,Nick Normando,before the band had the huge crowd digging their new music at the annual Hopstring Fest,at Joliet's Silver Cross Field. We also crank up the rock energy level with Vaudevilens,who are getting ready to put out their first full length CD, & open up for Zion,Illinois based veteran grunge rockers,Local H.

Then,the music adrenaline level will go up many max volumes,,as fierce young Chicago Metalcore band When Night Falls treats us to the goods of their debut full length CD,Creatures of the Night, I talk to them from the official release show at House of Blues,right next to Marina City. Also,Joliet Hardcore band,Orinoco lets us know about a new female presence in the band,backstage at HOB,
