Festivals...for the most of us. There are far more of them in the Chicago area than just that overhyped Lolla thing in late summer. This coming week alone, two big ones in particular including Forever Deaf Fest at Beat Kitchen. We Killed The Lion, who captivated a worldwide Local Loft listening audience in 2022, being named Best Chicago Area Rock album with Boogie Shoe Blues, is one of over fifteen acts playing Saturday & Sunday. I'll give you the rundown.
Progressive Alternative Rock Trio Silvertone mixes hard edged 90s Grunge and free form Jam Band Jazz Rock. They will blow minds and maybe even column speakers, Co headlining two shows this and next week, January 19th at Reed's Local in Avondale, and January 29th at Liar's Club. I talk with singer Zach Gray and Drummer Tyler Crady.
Rebel Radio kept the Metal alive and kicking as grunge was all the rage starting 29 years ago at a low frequency AM radio station in Northbrook. Founder and head DJ Scott Davidson gets the ball crushing birthday salute show at Brauerhouse In Lombard this Saturday the 21st. Progressive metal act Aftermath will be one of four to rock the roof off, along with Davidson's own band The Suffering. I've got the scoop.
No one was even taking a five-minute nap at the annual Snuz Fest, five years ago this week at the former Wire in Berwyn. Guardrail had everyone pogoing till they hit the rafters. We rock back to when I talked to them before they raised all adrenaline levels past the breaking point.
Along with these, you're kicking the big chill of another Chicago winter to the heated curb by firing up the original Chicagoland metal, punk, and alternative rock soundtrack of:
Silvertone-Expectations
Silvertone-Lost On You
Bad Chemicals-It's Not San Andrea's Fault
Ricky Liontones-Dreamsicle
Cuddle Riot-The Storm
Aftermath-No Time To Waste
Misfire-No Offense
Sweet Cobra-Melted
We Killed The Lion-Rocket
