Send us a textMixtape Junkies is a Chicago based rock band that prides itself on musicianship and a one-of-a-kind playlist. Growing up in the 80's on a steady diet of the incredibly diverse music of the time. They were formed with the idea of covering Rock's “Mixtape era” (70's-80's), but wanted to do it differently. They formed their own identity by choosing songs that many other 80's bands don't (or can't) cover. We decided to play “Let's Guess That Tune” with them.Support the showPodcast edited by Paul Martin.Theme song courtesy of M&R Rush.www.rocknrollchicagopodcast.com

"First you need to know there are no swear words in this show. It was this week back in the 60s when the FBI released a letter stating that there were no curse words in the song Louie Louie. But people keep looking. This is a list of songs that were banned or otherwise maligned because someone was sure the singer was cursing. But there was no curse word. It is a long list."

Monique Powell and her band Save Ferris are back out on the road. (When are they not?) And on top of that, they have a new single, "Get Dancing," which, on top of being a fun song is good life advice.To find out when they are playing near you, check out their website.

Today's guest is Rock ‘N Roll distilled. Welcome Bryan Small of The Hangmen to the podcast. This guy lived the sex, drugs, & rock ‘n roll life until he realized it wasn't sustainable. Born in Montana and raised in Idaho, Bryan moved to L.A. because his favorite bands were there. From there, every rock ‘n roll story seems to have happened to The Hangmen. There first album was remixed just before release without their knowledge, the follow up album was hampered by drug addiction and was never released. Bryan talks about the mental aspects of drug addiction and what he and the band would do to feed it. But after seeing the devastation of addiction, he cleaned up and has been that way for 30 years. He started recording again and after a more than decade long gap between the first and second Hangmen album, he's been releasing music consistently. He talks about the latest version of The Hangmen, why there's basically two bands on the album Cactusville, and why he moved back to Montana.
