Local Loft Episode 377

Support Local Music!!!!

It's the premise of this podcast. Use what you hear in this, and every episode as a guide, a sort of how to support original Chicagoland area music for dummies. But you are smart enough to know which music, metal, punk, alternative rock or power pop, moves you and keeps you coming back for more.

Kankakee veteran Southern Fried Metal band Redneck Remedy assured longtime and new fans that after their surprise reunion show at Estival Festival on September 22nd ,2024, there would be more. More shows, and more new music. Another surprise homecoming show for Easter Weekend at The Looney Bin in Bradley, five minutes away from their native Kankakee had never before heard tunes, (Face Of Madness, Bid U Farewell) and familiar favorites (Going Back To Whiskey, War Or Silence). For this special return to the live stage, singer & guitarist John David Daily, Lead guitarist Chris Pancho Cirrullo, Bassist John Tiny Mullikin & Drummer Nick Steele (helped by Big John's son John David Daily Jr.) brought along swamp rockers Convoy, whose longtime singer & guitarist Brian Corbin celebrated his birthday. All five Redeck Remedy members, Brian and convoy drummer Mike (Animal) Getz join me outside Looney Bin after they rocked the roof off the joint at the corner of Schuyler & Broadway.

Not only a Redneck Remedy homecoming, but one later this coming Friday for veteran glam rockers E'nuff Z'Nuff in their native Blue Island, along with a future Illinois Rock Museum induction in Joliet this September.

For Channahon punk pop act Space Age Zeros, the opportunity to join many legendary bands at the annual International Pop Overthrow next Tuesday at Montrose Saloon in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood is a well-deserved honor.

From the Illinois Rock Museum Hall Of Fame host city, Joliet's Wicked Deception was anything but deceiving as they packed a seismic punch with a brash hardcore metal sound, in their only Kat 105.5 on air studio visit thirteen years ago this week.
