Local Loft Episode 192

Love ( of original Chicago and Illinois music-not soap operas) in the afternoon. There's a lot more to love, especially if you're a fan of different sub genres of Metal.

The new edition of Local Loft serves up a big portion of Legacy Black. This four piece isn't about in your face grunting modern hardcore metal. There's something 70s progressive, even, dare I say, Classic Rock, about them. Singer Clint joins me by phone to talk about how church choir style vocal harmonies and even medieval organs work into the mix of music  from their self titled 2019 debut album, and the soon to be released follow up. They'll showcase their eclectic metal live at Davern's Tavern in Justice this weekend with Fierce Atmospheres.

From MTV staples in the 80s Hair Metal period to a cult power pop band, E'nuff Z'nuff  returns without incomparable lead singer Donnie Vie. They rock live in the Northwest Suburb of Island Lake, opening for forgotten 80s hair band, Tesla.

Cold Waves IX offers music of the more futuristic electronica kind at the legendary Metro. Chicago industrial trio Pixel Grip joins 80s synth pop band Front 242 and 90s industrial hard rockers Stabbing Westward for it. I've got a preview.

A rock and religion connection in name only, Bishop's Daredevil Stunt Club did an unexpected transformation from Jam Band bluesy psychedelic rock  to 80s and 90s grunge and power pop. A rock back to six years ago this week when I dropped in on the change in direction at Reggie's.

Along with these, you're stage diving like a tumbling brown fall tree leaf blown vigorously by a monsoonal wind gust by rockin' to:
