LOCAL CONCERT ALERT (Ace Frehley), Plus A Woods Of Ypres Update, And More!

It's time for a pretty big LOCAL CONCERT ALERT!!! And for you Kiss fans still disappointed by the lack of a fall show in the Soo, here's a show that could just fill that gap! Original Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley is coming to Kewadin Casino this fall! The Spaceman himself will bring his solo show to The Dreammakers Theater on Friday, November 13th! Though no longer in Kiss, Frehley has had some decent solo success over the past 30 years, including hits like "New York Groove" & "Into The Night"! Support at this show will come from 80s hard rock vixen Lita Ford, herself recently back on the music scene! You may remember Lita from her tenure as guitarist for The Runaways, or for hit solo songs like "Kiss Me Deadly" and her duet with Ozzy Osbourne, "Close My Eyes Forever"!

Now neither Ace nor Lita's respective sites confirm this show, so how do I know it's going on? The radio, of course! Ads were running for this concert on Rock 101, so there's my proof! Kewadin Casino also lists the show on their site, and yes, tickets are now available for this concert! Tickets are available at the flat rate of just $28.50 (a price which will likely be way cheaper than the actual Kiss show, FYI.) If you wanna buy tickets, visit this location to buy them online! Or, you can buy them at Kewadin Casino itself, or at the GraphixTwo box office beside A&W on Great Northern Road if you're in Sault Ontario! And as always, if I hear any updates on this show, I'll be sure to keep you guys posted! Check out new Ace Frehley and Lita Ford material by clicking on their names to visit their MySpace pages!

Next up, here's another interesting new item for sale from Woods of Ypres! A special limited edition vinyl copy of their 2004 single "Allure Of The Earth" is now available for purchase! Originally feaured on their second album "Pursuit Of The Sun & Allure Of The Earth", this record features both the original song and a cover by Australian cellists Sebastian Simpson and Chris Doig on the opposite side! You can view the artwork for this record on the right! Each copy is autographed and numbered, with a free download card to get the songs on the vinyl, and 12 Woods classics! There are only 500 available, so for you Woods fans who might be interested, here's how you can get a copy!

Just send $20 (or $35 for two) via PayPal to woodsofypres@hotmail.com, or you can send money via snail mail to:

Now, onto an update from local bar/concert venue The Canadian, which recently re-opened it's doors after extensive renovations! A Facebook group has been launched for The Canadian to alert everyone to upcoming events there. I welcome this, as I often used The Canadian's original group for concert info back when it was around! And now that they're back, hopefully we'll find out lots of stuff there! Join The Canadian's official Facebook group now to get in the know! No metal concerts scheduled yet, but I'll keep you guys posted! And I've edited the Sault Ontario Concert Venue Info on the left of the page to reflect the new group!

I'l leave it at that for today, but I will have more local metal news in the coming days, including previews for this weekend's Peril concerts, and hopefully much more! Stay tuned for more news and updates! Oh, and invite your friends to become fans of us on Facebook! The more, the merrier!
