The Locals on “Consequence of Sound”
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Thanks to Jay Ziegler from Consequence of Sound for the write up on his blog!
“Kicking off the sonic jaunt within the bellows of Subterranean, Chicago female power trio The Locals wasted no time getting the crowd going. Frontwoman Yvonne Doll rollicked around stage with her mighty Gibson SG and banged out fuzzy guitar chords with great precision. Drips of power pop and early grunge oozed from the floorboards of these girls, and images of PJ Harvey and Cheap Trick immediately came to mind. “Elo’ kiddies” is right, and these rockettes felt right at home. Bassist Christy Nunes thrashed around onstage and carried the thunder on her back, right in sync with Doll’s elegant guitar work. It’s a known fact that the Midwest is full of pop-laden bands and much like their Chicago contemporaries The Smoking Popes, The Locals brought a great pop-grunge icebreaker to a heartwarming show and told everyone to stick around for Verona Red.”
