Short post to cap the week with, as I will be mostly away from a computer this weekend, due to a family excursion to Manitoulin Island. Before I get to local concert previews for this weekend, it's time for me to admit a stupid mistake. I had initially reported that Clownsack would be playing at King of the Cage: Disputed at Kewadin Casino on July 11th. Well, that date was changed and pushed up two weeks to July 25th, THIS SATURDAY! Somehow, I completely bypassed that, and gave you guys a preview for it 14 days earlier than I normally would.Now, I know it's not a huge blunder, after all, I did tell you guys about the show, but I just feel stupid not knowing they moved it up a couple weeks. I'm really sorry, and I hope to make sure I have all dates correct for next time! Rather than re-preview the show, I'll link you guys to the original post, which I've edited to reflect my negligence. So click here for a preview of Clownsack at King of the Cage: Disputed! And if you're there, feel free to let us know how it was!
NOW, we'll get to previewing the rest of the shows this weekend! Fellow locals Jager are back on the concert scene for a pair of shows this weekend at The Rapids Lounge at Kewadin Casino. They will take the stage at 9:00 PM tomorrow and Saturday night! It's nice to see Jager back, it's been two months since their last scheduled local show! Here's hoping they put on some great performances this weekend, and you can check out some of their originals for proof at this location! For a video preview, here's a live clip of Jager covering the Finger Eleven song "Paralyzer"!
And finally, on Saturday night, young local hard rock band Free Refill will be performing at this year's Superior Whitefish Festival in Bay Mills! Their official MySpace page indicates that they will be playing at 8:00 PM! The website for the festival is badly in need of updating, as it doesn't even list the performer schedule, but who knows. Hopefully this performance goes well, as Free Refill do have a lot of promise! No songs to share on their MySpace page, but for a preview, check out this live clip of Free Refill covering the Black Sabbath classic "Paranoid"!
If any of you guys are seeing Clownsack, Jager, or Free Refill this weekend, let us know! Now, here's some potentially interesting news! The Canadian, the local bar at The Knights Inn that most recently hosted Aftersight's return show, is undergoing some huge renovations! If you can't tell from the picture, that's where the stage was. As you can tell, this isn't just a new paint job, it looks like they're modifying the interior top to bottom! Now, I gotta say, I liked how it looked before, but they must have some good ideas in mind for how they want The Canadian to look, so I'm anxious to see how it comes along! I've seen a lot of good shows there, including Sandman, Helix, the Rock 2 Roll fundraiser, & Garden of Bedlam's CD release show, and hopefully there will be many more to come! To check out 20 photos of the interior renovations so far, visit this location to see what's being done! Thanks to Jay Perron for posting the pics!That's all I've got for today. I may not have any new updates or posts until Sunday, but if I hear anything Earth-shattering or cool to report, I can try and squeeze something in during the weekend! Stay tuned everyone, and I'll see you guys by Sunday!
P.S. At some point next week, expect my review of Gates of Winter's debut EP, as we begin regular monthly CD reviews at the SMS! I won't say what day, but it's coming!
