Local Loft Episode 141

Mind excavating,face melting,sense stimulating original local music cuts through the farthest reaches of cyberspace. Let it rock, thrill and keep you in good health,at least where your music tastes are concerned.

Dekalb progressive metal act Mind Excavation can out rock the unclean grunting metal vocal acts. This four piece act recalls the sophisticated progressive style of Queensryche and Armored Saint,even forgotten Chicago doom metal band,Trouble, who they toured with three years ago. Two tracks off their new full length album, Fragments of  Mind, to rock you into a trippy parallel universe.

A hairy future for ex Emperors and Elephants drummer Jason Meudt, in new motley metal band Stradlin Rosie, who will open for cult Chicago Hair Band, Diamond Rexx at a mid October gig in West Chicago.

Blending Southern Rock and Outlaw Country, Hogtown Packing Company drew a huge truck driving, biker chap wearing crowd to their shows,including the first Freakster's Roadhouse in Wilmington. Rock back nine years ago this week for the first time they introduced themselves on The Kat 105.5 airwaves.
