(December 4th, 2013 Chicago, IL) – Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols, or even The Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early 70’s formed a punk band in their spare bedroom during the era of Motown and Disco. Playing music impossibly ahead of its time, Death is now receiving their long over due recognition as true rock pioneers. Death will be bringing their iconic sound to Reggies Rock Club, located…

Last False Hope first gives me the feeling that I’ve heard this all before, until I get drawn in deeper by their irresistable sound. It’s the blend of genres in each song and quality of musicianship that just won’t let me tune out. Folk-Punk? Death-Country? Whatever you call it, it’s loud and it’s fresh. LFH could be on the verge of hitting it huge! Tune them in on the Reggies site then head down to the Rock Club to hear…
The soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever AND Michael Jackson’s Thriller all on the same Classic Albums night? Are you kidding me? I’m in heaven. You could easily say each of these albums defined the pop music of their decade. Saturday Night Fever brought ‘disco fever’ to the masses in the late 70’s and catapulted John Travolta from Mr. Kotter’s classroom onto the big screen to stay. The music will forever be what you think of first when you think of…

The staff pick is all about calling out a band that isn’t always a headliner, and probably isn’t well known. The pick is meant to open you up to something new that won’t be on your friends iPods yet, but that is definitely worth dragging them all down to Reggies Chicago to listen live. So here comes the next Pick: The Mallett Brothers Band is going to tear up the Music Joint on Friday, Aug 9 with their summer-heatin’-whiskey-drinkin’-shit-kickin’-date-nightin’-country-rockin’ music….

So, I was called in last second to host WOWO tonight, and was nervous as hell that I would fuck it up for everyone ! I sought comfort in an old friend and set a general theme of Rolling Stones music. No matter what the other DJs played, I could always follow their lead and bring it back to a Stones tune. They are plugged in to every genre. It was so awesome to have five new spinners out tonight….

My pick of the month is Left Lane Cruiser with Gun and Johnson Creek Stranglers. Why should you care that this is my pick of the month? Cuz I’m a music professional, gosh darnit!

One of the great, unsung American institutions is the musical genre known as Surf Instrumental. Part unique sound, part attitude and all ROCK, the nuances between Hot Rod, Surf Instrumental, and Rock Instrumental can sometimes be blurred, but ultimately, it’s what the song conjures up in the listeners’ minds. The Heavies (from Gary, IN) keep the long tradition of great instrumental rock alive and well in the Chicago land area with their bombastic sound, yet bring in elements of contemporary…
