For the first time in about seven years Juno Reactor is making an all-too-brief trip across the US on tour. Unfortunately they’re not stopping here (grumble grumble) but this Friday they’re playing the Metro in Chicago if you want to make the drive. And a Juno Reactor show is one of the few I would recommend for such a long trip. I got the chance to chat with Ben Watkins just before he embarked on this seven city North American promotional tour and it was a real treat as I have been a JR fan since Transmissions was released back in ’93. Metropolis is currently re-releasing their first four albums so now is your chance to catch up with this legendary and impossibly good act if you haven’t already. And don’t forget their latest album, Gods & Monsters, while you’re at it. Now go check out Ben Watkins: The DTC Interview. Then map out the quickest path to Chi-town.
