Local Loft Episode134

Summer 2020 is here...and gone. Oh! to be young,wild and free again!.Soon,it will be safe, safe to return to a night of new local music discovery in person. For now, get up close and personal with your PC,MAC,laptop or mobile device. There's a lot to enjoy in the metal,punk,alt-rock,power pop and prog scene of Chicagoland and Illinois.

Accomplished guitar shredder Shaun Glass, who has been in Soil and Dirge Within, adds Repentance to his resume. The music and lyrics are as dark and intense as his previous two bands. Check out the debut single from their upcoming first record,God For A Day.

Her Worst Nightmare hopes the surroundings of their upcoming gig in Lake Villa won't be a very bad dream because of a lingering pandemic. I've got the details who will join them, including hard hitting Kankakee are rockers,Ephinepic.

Everyday is Halloween,once sang Ministry. It sure felt like it ,everytime you heard or seen Psycho Sister play. Go back seven years when the Goth rockers,fronted by Dawn Perrault, had their time to howl and creep on local venue stages.

Catching fire after being an opening act for Ted Nugent,Aerosmith, and Meat Loaf in 1978,The Boyzz From Illinoiz were a standout biker rock band, Three members rocked on in 2010,including guitarist Michael Tafoya. I relive the first time I interviewed him on The Kat 105.5.
