Alright, as I promised, I have some more local concert alerts for you all! And after that, we have another band looking to play here! And finally, I've got some local bands to add to the link sections, so let's get this post rolling! (Remember, for the Sense of Truth concert preview, check immediately below this post! If you're going tonight, feel free to let us know!)
Tomorrow night, and Saturday night, Sault Michigan's own Nixxon Dixxon will return for a pair of shows at The Satisfied Frog! Both shows will start at 10:00 PM! As usual, these shows should go excellent, and if you go check out their songs on MySpace, you'll hear some great sounding covers by these rising local stars! After this weekend, they'll hit St. Ignace next month for a pair of shows, as well as two more dates at The Satisfied Frog the next week! And of course, if you go see Nixxon Dixxon this weekend, we'd love to hear from you!
Next up, we have another band looking to play in Sault Ontario! Windsor metal band Aquila are looking for a booking here in August, and drummer Matt McGuire e-mailed me on MySpace to see if I could help! I sent him a few venue contact links, but I can't say for sure how much that will help. So, if you're a booker, or know of a way to help Aquila play a show in the Sault in August, why not send them a message on MySpace? Check them out too, they're a great sounding band, and it'd be awesome to have them play here!
Alright, now let's get to some new local bands to add to our ever-growing listings! First off, here's a band that I've neglected for WAAAAY too long already. I think it was because I didn't see them as all that metal, but on repeated listens, there's enough to warrant including them! They are Sykotyk Rampage, a band who describes their genre as "Blue Chinese Metal Crash Punk"! If that sounds somewhat "different", then you'd be right!
I'd describe aspects of their profile, history, and biography, but I couldn't do them justice by summing it up, so check out their profiles on MySpace, SoundClick, CBC Radio 3, Facebook, SellABand, Mevio, Art Of The Mix, and iSound for everything you need! They have other pages too, but I just posted a few of the more notable ones! I recommend checking out their SoundClick page, where they have a total of......214 SONGS to listen to! It's all very unique, full of improvisation, strange and creative lyrics, and a one of a kind brand of hard rock/punk! In fact, they've been playing together since the 1970s, with songs dating back as early as 1981! So they have quite the reputation built up, and they have released a total of....16 CDs in their long history!
I honestly haven't heard too much from them in recent months, but if we hear more from Sykotyk Rampage in the near future, I'll make sure to keep tabs on it! I again apologize for not putting them on the SMS for so long, but that all ends now! Go check them out, you're in for something else! And for future reference, I have their SoundClick page (with all 214 songs) in the Local Metal Band Links now!
Finally, a band that, though not based in either of the twin Saults, are located within an hour of here, which is good enough for inclusion on the SMS! And hey, if I'll talk about Bay Mills Resort and Casino and Hempfest, I don't see why I can't talk about bands from the area too! So, we now have B3nt Rollercoaster, from Eckerman, which is just 45 minutes from Sault Michigan! They're a hard rock band with a female singer, and they have some great sounding stuff on their official MySpace page! You might remember them from the Rock Starz benefit show at The Sault Theater last summer! Go check them out, they have some pretty good songs! And as always, you can now find them in the Local Metal Band Links to your right!
That's all for tonight, more news to come very soon! Thanks everyone!
