local yokels
I used to sit next to Local H drummer Brian St. Clair in Jr. High home room. Even back then he was obsessed with the drums; always drawing kits on his notebooks and talking about what pieces he had, what pieces he was gonna get. Brian’s worn his hair the same way since he was in 8th grade.
I’ve followed his music career from a distance, and I rooted for him and Wes Kidd when they were doing triplefastaction (since they were local guys I watched play together since their teens).
Anyway, St. Clair and bandmate Scott Lucas were the subject of Illinois Entertainer’s June cover story, and they recently wrapped a week at the Beat Kitchen in support of their latest record, 12 Angry Months.
They also were on Carson Daly last month promoting their new record. I was so inspired by this video I bought a couple of their CDs. But not so inspired that I wanted to break up with someone…

Local H is one of the only bands around that still knows how to rock it out. I have a cousin who has 2 favorite bands - Pearl Jam and Local H. I introduced him to Local H and he in turn, has converted not only myself, but several other people into fans with his sheer enthusiasm for their music. I can safely say I’ve been to more Local H shows than any other band I know of.
If you appreciate the synthesis of the Grunge/Punk/Classic Rock sounds, I highly recommend buying the album “Whatever Happened to PJ Soles?” They’ve been through a lot, including a period with no label. It’’s really nice to see Local H getting some mainstream attention again.
Cheers…
