Before There Was Punk, There Was a Band Called Death

(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…

10-31-13 Staff Pick “Classic Album Night”

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.

The music will forever be what you think of first when you think of…

The Heavies: Surf Rock from Gary, Indiana

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…
