Spokane band Plastic Saints fuse the best elements of rock from the '70s, '80s, and '90s.
Combine that with solid songwriting and the blistering lead guitar work of Brandon Humphreys and you've got a good reason to tune in to the Local Lounge this Sunday! These Spokane musicians have had a few personnel/band name/music style changes, starting as Mad Rush, morphing into the blusey roots rock of The Matthew Lindley Mistake, and finally settling on the straight-up rock of Plastic Saints in late 2006.
Experience the acoustic side of Plastic Saints on the 103.1 KCDA Local Lounge this Sunday, August 10th, at 10 pm PDT. Listen in the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area at 103.1 FM or anywhere in the world streaming on-line at this website. Just click on the "Listen Live" link in the upper-left corner.
This Sunday's Local Lounge is a joint feature with the soulful Dean Smith and the bluesy Double G.
Dean Smith, originally from Compton, CA, is a singer/songwriter with a heavy old-school soul influence. You can catch him live at his weekly gigs here in Spokane: RAW Sushi and Waddell's Pub.
Double G, a.k.a. Gary George, is a guitar luthier who lives off-the-grid in the backwoods! He will bring a sample of his classic guitar collection, some dating back to the 1930s. Appropriately, he plays with a foot-stompin', rural, country-tinged blues style.
This Sunday each one will play a few of his own tunes. Since they have been friends and musical collaborators for years, we've got a video in the works that features both of them. We'll have that posted in a few days.
Dig the soulful sound of Dean Smith and the gritty blues of Double G on the 103.1 KCDA Local Lounge this Sunday, August 3rd, at 10 pm PDT. Listen in the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area at 103.1 FM or anywhere in the world streaming on-line at this website. Just click on the "Listen Live" link in the upper-left corner.

You can catch the fun, quirky, Portland-based acoustic trio Johannin this Sunday on the Local Lounge!
All three members of Johannin (Erik, Dave, and Bryce) were in the Spokane-based rock band Footshod, circa 2002-2005. Their crowd participation antics and meaningful songs ensured a good time for all! Footshod ended amicably when the band members graduated from college: Dan the drummer is now in SoCal, and Matt the bassist is keeping busy in the local scene...anyway, Johannin's humor and crafty songs will end your Sunday with a grin! All songs will be performed live in our studio. Catch Johannin on the 103.1 KCDA Local Lounge this Sunday, July 20th, at 10 pm PDT.
