During my teen years a friend's mother used to tell me stories about hanging out with The Rolling Stones in London night clubs during the early sixties.  She even had a picture of her and Brian Jones sharing a pint at the bar.  To a teenage music freak in the late 1970's, that was almost more my brain could handle. But in the early 60's London club scene it was a typical night. No big deal. They couldn't have known at the time that the drunken misfits on stage would one day be larger-than-life rock icons worthy of royalty status here in America.

In the "information age" we may never put our rock stars on such a high pedestal again, but that doesn't change the fact that a London club band went on to create timeless rock classics that would change our lives. My point? When you go out to see a local band that you really dig, it's like London all over again. Who cares if the rest of the world understands what you already know in your gut? When the music moves you, there's nothing quite like being there, up close and personal.

That's the way I've felt about Radiocraft since the first heard them back in aught-one.  The release party for IN STEREO is one of my most treasured memories of local music.  Pure Magic.  Then "Red" came along; no sophomore slump there, the band hit it even harder the second time around and it's just as fresh today as it was when it came out.

Now you have another opportunity to see local music history in the making. Radiocraft's CATCH YOUR DEATH CD RELEASE PARTY w/Zen, Ray Street Park & Primortal will be taking place at The Token Lounge on November 21st. That's the night before Thanksgiving, which is appropriate I think; It's the perfect opportunity to give thanks for having such great local music available to us.  - Mitch
