After a depressing winter, Keeping it 99 returns to finish off season 2 with an idea that'll make us money....A MUSIC CLUB!  We also discuss pitting to crappy bands, loving an old school Cleveland band called Allout, and a bunch of randomness that you just need to listen to. Like, you really NEED TO LISTEN. It's the end of a season, as a new season brings you better gear, and better weather.

It's the first show of 2019, and we get back to basics by briefly speaking on everything from Metal to more Metal and even some METAL! We talk about The Black Album being important, Bon Scott being cool, Axl Rose and Looney Tunes, Alternative music, and another local Cleveland band hates Mushroomhead. All that plus so much MORE! We play music from the awesome Columbus band Mortimer and a new song by Foul Spirits.

Red Beard quits his job because of hippies, which is pretty Metal. Ki99 unwraps presents which is also Metal. Eagle got super drunk and annoyed musicians which is the most Metal. All this and MORE metal things on this Holiday Edition of Keeping it 99....METAL! This week Actual Form is played. They're great, and you can download their music at https://actualform.bandcamp.com

We're back, and we review the month of October when it comes to shows in the area like Insane Clown Posse, Persistent Aggressor, and the Hate Theory show.
