Local Loft Episode 179

Freaks, rockers, headbangers. All are welcome to the abundant smorgasboard of original local metal, punk, alternative, prog rock and power pop from al over Chicago's six county region and Illinois.

Things will get freaky, gory, and maybe too erotic when Sinister Fate haunts another concert stage. It's a graphic horror film in the making. Led by the new master of shock rock, David Bates, they will make you scream into a moshing state of fright, at Freak Show, Friday, June 25th at Sugar Skull in Franklin Park. David joins me to preview the spooktacular live gig.

With a beer and whiskey soaked soundtrack of Southern blues rock and scorching metal, Rachels' Bully ain't your ordinary average good ol' boys! Singer Chris Lee joins me as they rock with Sinister Fate this Friday at Sugar Skull, and take you along for a hog wild ride with tunes off their debut EP.

Bourbonnais Friendship Festival is one of many summer concert events returning as Illinois slowly comes out of COVID lockdown clutches. Carrying Torches lights the way to three nights of competitive rock at the Battle of the Bands.

Redneck Remedy defined Southern Fried Metal, much more than any band from the land of Dixie. Ten years ago this week, I first introduced this metal powerhouse from Kankakee to listeners of The Kat 105.5. We rock back to that first headbanging hoedown.
