Pick of the Week: Arcade Brewery One Year Anniversary with Local H, Glass Lux, and Flesh Panthers (August 31, 2015)

Arcade Brewery One Year Anniversary with Local H, Glass Lux, and Flesh Panthers (August 31, 2015)

Local H is known for their blistering live shows and for pioneering the two-man band set-up — frontman Scott Lucas covers both guitar and bass through an extra pick up in his guitar and drummer Ryan Harding pounds out the rest of the sound. While they have earned praise in the past for their catalog of clever concept albums, Local H are forgoing a singular theme on their new album — Hey, Killer (out April 2015 on G&P Records) — turning out a non-stop blast of straight-up, hooky, guitar-heavy rock songs — each one catchier than the last.

Glass Lux is a New Wave / Electronica band out of Chicago featuring Alfonso Mayen on percussion and synth Emily Morse on vocals. Their live show is played as a trio.

“Good-time punks, Flesh Panthers unapologetically bust down your front door with their new album, N G C 2632. At first listen, the 12 tracks embody a New York Dolls’ draw and swagger that’s much more glam than what came across on the band’s previous releases. These tracks are fully-fleshed, leaving a heightened ringing in your ears and putting a relentless stomp in your boots.”
