Battle of the Bands Spotlight: Hamiliton Outlaw

Continuing with our Battle of the Bands lineup, we introduce Hamiliton Outlaw!
Hamilton Outlaw is a band of blue-collar city boys playing some dirty rock/blues with a punk edge. The members all come from punk/ska and metal backgrounds. How it started: Mike Dee, singer for grind-n-roll band Monger, and singer/guitarist for punk rock band Head of Power decided he needed an outlet for some bluesy/rock stuff he had been writing. He banded together Sam Shapiro and Mike Clark (both in Head of Power) and Matt Hoey (Monger) to form Hamilton Outlaw.

Goodbye Honfest :(
Monday, February 26th, 2024 by The Professor
The folks that created and ran Honfest have called it a day after nearly 30 years of events. WLOY was proud to have been a part of the event from 2010 onward and to have built up an amazing stage at the Chestnut St. end of the festival from 2014-2023. We are grateful to Denise and Lisa for all their work and support of us in bringing tons of great bands up on the stage. Check out our full list here. We will miss the fun this June, but we hope to see a new festival spring up over the summer. Until then, there is Hampdenfest every fall!
