The new band I have found are from Sault Michigan, and are called Analog Deficiency! I thank the guys in the band for adding the SMS on MySpace, cause I wouldn't have known about them otherwise! Their MySpace page was launched yesterday, and they already have four original songs posted! If I had to compare them to any bands, I'd have to say KoRn, they really seem to draw from them as an influence! Three of the songs are just instrumentals, but "Embrace The Fear" does feature singing, FYI.They're a young band too, though I do recognize guitarist Nathan Switzer from defunct local bands Medicate & The Roadhouse Rebels, and for being the son of Jager frontman Henry Switzer! The songs posted so far are pretty good, very catchy, and it's a style you don't hear much locally, so they're definitely worth checking out! To check out Analog Deficiency, visit this location! I have also added Analog Deficiency to the Local Metal Band Links on your right, and deleted Medicate, cause coincidentally, their page was deleted too!
Ok, now I just gotta mention this before you guys start getting too excited...According to the Hot Spots section of the current edition of Sault This Week, Gates of Winter are scheduled to play at Madison's Pub this Friday and Saturday. This is definitely in today's paper, on Page 22. Well, I talked to a few people, and these shows are NOT going on. There was talk about them happening months ago, but they were eventually cancelled, and for some reason, Madison's never updated it to reflect that the shows weren't taking place. Apparently, the shows were to have featured original drummer James Chiverelli too, if they were to have happened. But, they're not happening, so don't get your hopes up! Gates of Winter are NOT BACK TOGETHER, and they are NOT PLAYING THIS WEEKEND!
Alright, onto news that I know is happening! Sault Michigan hard rockers Bad Side will be doing an exclusive interview with KLT: The Rock Station out of Traverse City on Sunday night! The interview will take place at 9:00 PM, and if you have a strong enough radio, you can pick it up at either 97.5 or 98.9 on your FM dials! If not, you can listen online at KLT's official website! This interview will be in advance of their shows next weekend in St. Ignace, followed by a local return for concerts in September! This should be a good interview, I'll try and remember to listen on Sunday! Check out some of Bad Side's fantastic original songs on their official MySpace page!
And finally, Woods of Ypres have posted even more photos from their latest photo shoot on their official MySpace page! Fitting with their lyrical themes and Canadian roots, the pictures are all in what appears to be a forest in the Sault area! Nice shots of the band, and I can't wait to see the new lineup in action on August 16th at The Speakeasy! Speaking of that show, SooToday has posted their own event page for it, which curiously enough, includes an outdated photo that still includes ex-members Lee, Brian, and Steve from Gates of Winter! Remember, go see Woods of Ypres August 16th, with The Womb and Inflict, tickets are $10 in advance, and $15 at the door!That's all for now, expect previews for this weekend's Nixxon Dixxon and Peril shows tomorrow night! Also, I doubt I'll have anything to post Saturday, as I will be in St. Joseph Island all day for my dad's wedding. Just a little heads up! And finally, thanks to Michigan photographer Kimberly McVey for becoming our second follower! Thanks for the support, and I'll see you guys tomorrow!
