Local Loft Episode 378

"Here we go again, it's Tuesday at last"

Not exactly calendar correct, where that quote from a Jam B-side is concerned (actually it's Monday in their song Smithers-Jones). But as sure as Wednesday was Prince Spaghetti Day, . Also rocking Tuesday is new Local Loft Day (and of course the day to munch on tacos.).

Consuming foamy beer and meaty tacos this past Saturday, April 26th, the stellar four-piece doom metal band Black Road had guitar amps sizzling more than fresh taco ground beef, as they continue to present tasty new tunes from an upcoming long awaited third album. I once again talk with bewitching lead singer Suzi Uzi, virtuoso guitarist Tim Moreno, bassist Trey Wedgeworth and drummer Danny Garcia, who had a packed crowd at Soundgrowler Brewing in Tinley Park spellbound with another captivating set. Also, whipping audiences into a mosh fille frenzy during their 100th show, Chicago Doom Metal veteran bands Pale Horseman (whom Suzi joined for a fiery vocal duet featured on their recent split 7 inch vinyl EP with Cleveland based doom metal act Buzzherd), and Boatman's Toll, who gives CEOs and the mass TV new media and equal ripping on their third full length record, Apocalyptic Coloring Book.

International Pop Overthrow, the annual power pop live showcase ends with a North Side Chicago band, who won't be phoning in a Straight Up resemblance to one of the legendary bands who stood in The Beatles shadow, Badfinger, as they rock area code to area code on the final night of this year's IPO, Saturday at Montrose Saloon.

Manteno melodic hard rockers NoneWillfall, tripped their way into The Kat 105.5 studio with a preview of their soon to be released third album, thirteen years ago this week.

Unfortunately, they fell from grace and split up before the record was halfway finished and mixed. We rock back to their only radio appearance.
