LOCAL CONCERT ALERT (Nixxon Dixxon), And Lots Of Assorted News!

Alright, today, I've got plenty of news, and kicking things off, I have a pile of LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS!!!

Sault Michigan's own Nixxon Dixxon have booked a ton of new concerts! All the new shows are next year, stretching from January to August, with two shows a month throughout, all of which are being held at The Rapids Lounge at Kewadin Casino! So here's all 16 upcoming dates on Nixxon Dixxon's 2010 schedule so far:

January 1-2
February 19-20
March 12-13
April 2-3
May 21-22
June 11-12
July 23-24
August 13-14

As well, Nixxon Dixxon are heading back to St. Ignace for 16 more shows as well! They'll be at Kewadin Casino there on January 8-9, February 26-27, March 19-20, April 9-10, May 7-8, June 18-19, July 30-31, and August 6-7! I've never seen shows booked so far in advance into a different year for any local band, but hell, it's nice to see that Nixxon Dixxon show no signs of slowing down! They're extremely talented for their age, and these shows should be excellent as usual! Hopefully once I'm 21, I'll get a chance to see them next summer! For more info on Nixxon Dixxon and to hear some of their songs, visit their official MySpace page!

Now, for a pile of random updates, and this will start with a pair of Sault Michigan bands that have changed their names. One is Bad Monkey, formerly known as Jager. According to their official MySpace page, they have changed their name again to Monkey's Uncle! Their URL has also been changed accordingly. Interesting new name, hopefully it sticks! Nothing else new from their front, but I'll keep you guys posted! The other change is to The Angel of Suffering, an originally Sault-based metal band who relocated to Colorado this summer. They are apparently now known as "From The Ashes Of Angels". Just a heads up in case the links look different!

Next up, I have a new link in the Other Local Metal Links (I still need to clean those up more.) It's the official website for The Thomas Walls School of Music, which serves as both a music school and as a store for music instruments and equipment! Located at 505 Albert Street in Sault Ontario, it could be of interest to all you musicians out there, whether you're new or a veteran! They have some good quality instruments and repair work as well! If you're not familiar with Thomas Walls, check out their official website, you may be interested!

Hey Woods of Ypres fans, here's another preview for their next release! According to the newest wall post on Woods of Ypres' Facebook page, their new disc, "Woods IV: The Green Album" is in it's final mixing stage, and a whole song had to be cut to have the album fit on one CD! Yes, you'll be getting almost 80 minutes of Woods on the new disc! Frontman David Gold says it "boils over with inspired expressions of DOOM...and hope." I can't wait to hear it myself! Get more Woods info at this location! And remember, you can hear a brand new song from the album by downloading the August edition of Canadian metal podcast The Governor's Ball at this location!

And finally, two small news items:
So there's your news for this Tuesday night! Stay tuned to The Sault Metal Scene for anything else I find out, and e-mail me at robfigures@hotmail.com if you have anything to share, suggest, correct, or give your opinion on! Thanks everyone!
