Join Joe tonight at 8:30 pm for a special episode of Local Lixx. 30 years ago a band out of Cincinnati was shaking the Queen City up with its brand of brash garage rock. The Customs received a now famous quote from a Cincinnati newspaper during their heyday, ……

“The loudest, drunkest, most obnoxious Rock & Roll band in the city…fronted by a “singer” with the vocal ability of the local Greyhound bus dispatcher.”

At the time it may not have seemed like a compliment, but it has stood the test of time and so has their music. The band will be reuniting this Saturday night here in Cincinnati, playing a show at the Southgate House to celebrate the re-issue of their album Long Gone on the Shake It label, and playing together for the first time in over 25 years.

So tune in tonight at 8:30 for a look back at one of Cincinnati’s most influential garage rock bands on a special installment of Local Lixx.
