LOCAL CONCERT ALERT (Necropolis), And A Garden Of Bedlam Update!

The metal concerts just keep coming for Sault Ontario! Why do I say that? Because I've got a LOCAL CONCERT ALERT for you all! So let's get right to that to start!

Local metal band Necropolis have scheduled another upcoming show on July 16th, where they will be among the support acts for Newfoundland punk rockers The Class War Kids! They're alright for a punk band, head to their MySpace to check them out! The other support bands will include Toronto classical/punk band RedD Monkey (who you may remember as headliners from the Necropolis concert on May 3rd), as well as locals Free Beer and The Fury!

But here's something else that might interest you about this concert: Smeltzer are reuniting for one night only at this show! You may remember these local alt-rockers from various local concerts in the mid-2000s, and they had a pretty good following around here, so I bet some of you are stoked for their reunion! Visit their MySpace page at this location! So those are the bands scheduled for this show! Necropolis may be the only "metal" band, but there's lots of punk goodness to go around also if you're a fan! Admission is just $5, and everything starts at 6:30! Once I hear more on this show, you'll hear it all here!

Not a lot else to report today, but I can tell you that Garden of Bedlam have posted an event page on Facebook for their upcoming all ages show with Necropolis at The Royal Canadian Legion on July 5th! I'm incredibly stoked for both this show and the CD release show on the 3rd, it should be one hell of a metal weekend! Plus, the shows perfectly bookend our 2nd anniversary on the 4th, which is convenient! I can confirm that I will have free CDs at both of these shows to give away, with details to follow! Remember guys, try and get to at least one of these shows, they'll be awesome!

And finally, VOTE IN THE SMS POLL!!! Thanks to the voters so far, it looks like the Cattle Decapitation show is winning so far for favourite metal concert of 2009 so far, but it's way too early yet, so keep the votes coming in! Same for the Kiss fan-routed tour voting too, keep demanding them too, cause the voting ends Tuesday at 5:00 PM! Thanks everyone!
