Let's begin with the two Sault Michigan shows, where local hard rockers Nixxon Dixxon have a pair of shows scheduled in the area! First of all, they will be among the entertainment at this year's Laker Luau at Lake Superior State University! There will be plenty of games and entertainment at this year's event, which will (as the name implies) have a tropical Hawaiian theme! Nixxon Dixxon themselves will be playing at a tent outside The Galley at The Cisler Center at 4:00 today or later! I don't know if this is open to non-students, but if you can make it, we'd love to hear from you!As well, Nixxon Dixxon head to Kincheloe tomorrow night for a show at The Malamute Saloon at 9:00! This is a little different from most weekends, where they usually play a pair of shows at a bar or something, but some variety is good, and these shows should go well! And guess what? I have a video of these guys again to show! So check this out, it's from a recent show in St. Ignace, of the band playing three acoustic songs: "Broken" by Seether, "Home" by Daughtry, and "Drift and Die" by Puddle of Mudd!
Next up, let's come back to Sault Ontario, where we have two bands playing two shows each this weekend! (Interesting to see that on this side, huh?) First off, at Madison's Pub (that's by Food Basics on Pine Street), blue Chinese metal crash punk rockers Sykotyk Rampage take the stage tonight and tomorrow night at 10:00 PM! There is NO COVER CHARGE!!! And for more information on these two shows, head to the official Facebook event page!If you're aware of these guys already, you know what you're in for, and if you don't know much yet, you need to have a listen! They've been around for ages, and are as unique and creative as ever! So I recommend checking out some of their over 200 originals on their official SoundClick page! Or, you could check out this video for their song "9 Days"!
Finally, we go to Coch's Corner (that's downstairs at The Days Inn on Bay Street), where we will welcome Black Dog: The Tribute To Led Zeppelin! Based out of Toronto, Black Dog have been playing Zeppelin hits for over a decade, so you know they've gotta be really good! As is the case with the Sykotyk Rampage shows, Black Dog take the stage at 10:00 PM, and there's NO COVER CHARGE EITHER!!! There hasn't been any metal tribute bands here in a while, so these should be fun concerts! For more information, head to the official Facebook event page! And guess what? I have a video of these guys too! So check out this live clip of Black Dog performing "Dazed and Confused"!So that concludes the local concert previews! To end today's post, let's get you all up to speed on the Kiss voting! As of 5:54 PM, we are STILL IN THIRD!!! Great sign, but I wonder if we can claw our way to second? (Watch your back, Oshawa.) Also, Thunder
Bay and Sudbury are 15th and 16th, so it appears the other big cities of Northern Ontario don't wanna be left out either! VOTE FOR KISS TODAY, CLICK "DEMAND IT" AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE!!!Frank Dobrovnik of The Sault Star recently published an article on the Kiss campaign, which you can read at this location, or by buying Wednesday's paper! It's a good read, so give it a look! And you know it's picking up steam when Blabbermouth posted The Sault Star article as a news item, so that says something! That's all for today, VOTE FOR KISS, and if you're going to see Nixxon Dixxon, Sykotyk Rampage, or Black Dog this weekend, let us know! Thanks everyone!
