I apologize for the short notice of this show, I was only first alerted to it yesterday. Remember back in May when I mentioned that two metal bands from British Columbia, Throat Kick and GFAP!, were looking for a joint booking in Sault Ontario in September? Well, they got it, and they'll be in town on TUESDAY! The two bands will make their way to, oddly enough, The Vibe Lounge, which I can't recall ever hosting out of town metal bands like this. Great to see regardless! As I said, this show will be TUESDAY NIGHT, with a start time of 9:00 PM and a $5 cover. You must be 19 to enter, because after all, this is a bar. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! Now I know this show is both short notice and a bit out of the way from most of the local concert spots, but seriously consider going! Both bands bring a unique style to the table! Throat Kick (from Prince George) have a electronic-influenced "breakcore" style that we certainly don't see often locally, while GFAP! (from Vancouver) have a more straightforward groove metal sound, and have a great intensity going for them! Check the above links for more on the bands and the show, and stay tuned for a preview of it tomorrow or Monday!
Now, the title above says that I have another new show, and yes, it is new with bands announced, but why am I not treating this as a LOCAL CONCERT ALERT? Because there's no venue announced, but when one is, I'll give it the proper treatment! But this is publically aware with Facebook event page in tow, so here's what you should know beforehand! On November 25th, California punk legends Total Chaos will play a concert in Sault Ontario! They're an awesome punk band, but how does this qualify for SMS attention? Well, check out who's opening! The scheduled openers include local horror punk/metal quartet Frightlight, local death metal band Bring The Fallen, and in their live concert debut, local grimecore trio Shit Liver! Also announced are Toronto-based classical/punk band RedD Monkey (featuring ex-Gates of Winter drummer Kevin Overton), and what could be another opening band, labeled as "(TBA/NO NAME)". A 7:00 PM start time is announced, but I've heard little since about venue or ticket details. Stay tuned to The Sault Metal Scene and the above links for updates as they come in, cause this concert sounds VERY promising!
Thirdly, here's some long awaited news on a local band's bassist search! On Thursday, local hard rockers Half Past announced the addition of WinkStinger bassist Ryan Disano to the band, replacing former bassist Arthur Lacasse. Aside from WinkStinger, you may recognize Ryan from his work in bands like Time of Ruin and Caveman Morrison, who he played bass with briefly last year upon their local return. The news was announced on the band's official Facebook page on Thursday, with the band commenting that Ryan will bring a "style and intensity" that we're gonna love. This should be a great move, cause Ryan has some definite skills on the bass, and hopefully he fits in well with Half Past! After all, it's been five months since we last saw Half Past on a local stage, so the anticipation is building as we await their return! I'll keep you posted with more Half Past news as I hear it!And finally for today, it's finally official: Recording sessions for Garden of Bedlam's upcoming full length LP have FINISHED! After delays from the Kiss concert and some personal ailments, Buzz has wrapped up all of his vocal tracks for what is tentatively titled "Everything Will Die" a few days ago, and he announced the recording sessions' conclusion on the band's Facebook group on Thursday! Great to hear, I can't wait to hear the finished product! That's all for today, but I will have more very soon, be it when I get home or not! Stay tuned!
