An original Chicagoland metal, punk, alternative rock & power pop JAM session with a side of (Spamicidal) Jelly!
Crank this up and jam it between speakers. From the harmonious Garage Punk Pop of The Larvettes, to the grunting meets intimate female lead vocal of Rosie Walker, the music menu is full, and there's plenty to fill up.
I first introduced you to the Larvettes in July 2023 (Local Loft Episode 286). They return with an as of yet untitled full length follow up to their debut 2022 EP, Happy Go Lucky Times. The new effort boasts a more aggressive, fast, upbeat rhythm and more abrasive heavy guitar sound. Singer/guitarist Bob Towne is joined once again by bassist/backing singer chip Medema & drummer Tim, as they lay their melodic chunky guitar sound on a Saturday Night crowd at The Outtaspace in Berwyn. I talk with them backstage (actually the outdoor patio) before they headline.
Hell Over Midway Metal fest will feature up and coming Southwest Side of Chicago Metalcore act Beheading The Icon, who'll make you aggressively mosh off the seven course TV dinner you just gulped down, Saturday night at McGoos Bar & Grill in Bedford Park. I have the scrumptious preview. Joliet's Spamicidal Jelly Jams with a cult 90s metal band best known for giving a timeless Disney fairytale of a house blowing destructive wolf a hardcore reboot, Green Jelly, Friday night at The Forge in Joliet. While Bullet To The Heart's glamour goth frontwoman Audren Queen snuggles with a stuffed bear in a new not so nightmarish music video and single.
Mixing intimate emotional lead vocals with a punchy fiery metal crunch, Rosie Walker commanded False Hope Fades, who was a recurring main attraction at Dame Nation (Reggies, Congress Theatre, Abbey Pub). I caught up with Rosie and FHF guitarist Kham as they rock the roof off The Forge in Joliet, nine years ago this week.
Jam on, and make your ears and body quiver like a bowl full of jelly, as you mosh and shake supreme to this original Chicago area music soundtrack:
