A couple hours ago, it was announced on Facebook that Caveman Morrison frontman Tym Morrison will be playing a solo concert THIS SUNDAY at Foggy Notions! But that's not all, as according to the Facebook event page, Tym will be having a solo acoustic show there "every Sunday". With that in mind, the schedule on his official website also lists solo dates for Foggy's on the following weeks, as he'll be back there on November 21st and 28th! Looks like he has an arrangement set up there for weekly concerts for at least three weeks, likely longer, though specifics haven't been stated online. All three of the announced solo dates this month will have 10:00 PM start times and 19+ age limits, and there is no announced cover charge for any of the shows. Nice to see Tym's solo show return at this volume, and Foggy's works as a consistent venue for it, no matter how long "every Sunday" lasts! Sorry for the short notice too, this was only announced late yesterday. Check the above links for more details, and make sure to hear his solo originals at his official website linked above!
Now to the shows we previously knew about for our weekend previews, and we'll start at The Roosevelt Hotel, as they slowly continue their march towards a more diverse musical atmosphere. And what better way to help with that than a night full of metal mayhem? Four metal bands are ready to melt faces at The Rosie TONIGHT, so here's who to expect! Your headliners are Montreal Christian metalcore quintet Breaking The Fourth Wall, who are definitely playing here after seeing a planned July date get canned earlier in the year. With an energetic experimental hardcore sound in tow, expect a great headlining set from these guys in their local return! As well, three local openers will unleash their musical attacks tonight as well! Hardcore rockers As It Stands return to the stage tonight for the first time in two months, with their newest originals and a hard hitting moshable sound ready to go! Also, WinkStinger return to the stage fresh off of their Coch's Corner Halloween party set, as they continue to build their name as one of the best extreme metal bands in the area! And finally, it's the long awaited return of local death metal band Bring The Fallen, in their first show since May, and their first live public concert with bassist Nolan Rainville since February! Great to see them back and fully together, and they should deliver a brutal set themselves! Click on the above links to check out all of the scheduled bands!There is NO COVER for this concert, it all starts at 10:00 PM tonight, and you must be 19 to enter. Sure, The Rosie's a bit far from the downtown core, and you may have a pre-existing view of it, but Chad LaRoue and everyone else there have been doing a lot to make it a better and more wide-appealing bar. If tonight's show is a success, more metal could be on it's way to The Rosie, so definitely consider going tonight! I don't know if I can make it (thank you, university assignments), but PLEASE go to this if you can! For more details, visit the Facebook event page or visit the above links! For a video preview, check out this live clip of Breaking The Fourth Wall playing their song "Murder of Crows" from a 2009 show in Hamilton!
Meanwhile, tomorrow night, it's the long awaited return of Garden of Bedlam, in their first live concert appearance since backing up Kiss in August! This time, they will return to the site of their Kiss afterparty, The Rockstar Bar, in their first ever concert set there! Garden of Bedlam are the only scheduled band tomorrow night, and will break out a setlist full of originals from their debut EP and their forthcoming full length album, along with selected covers! Expect a start time of around 11:00 PM, with a $5 cover charge, and you must be 19 to enter. It's great to see Garden of Bedlam back, and I'm fairly certain I'll be there for their return to the stage! And of course, there will be a review with video and photos on Saturday, as usual! Seems to be a no frills concert, just in your face heavy metal, and who doesn't love that? For more details, visit the official Facebook event page and check out the above links! And for a video preview, here's Garden of Bedlam from this year's Rotaryfest playing their original song "New Rain"!
And finally for known hard rock concerts this weekend, local classic hard rock cover band Turner Up return to the stage after a weekend off to rock The Nicolet Tavern! Though an event page has not been posted on Facebook to hype either of their shows this weekend (tomorrow and Saturday night), they will be there this weekend, but things will look very different. It was confirmed on drummer Scott McClurg's personal Facebook page yesterday that the band had parted ways with singer Brent Royer, who left to pursue other options. Brent had replaced Todd Killam as the band's frontman in July, and sang with them over the next four months. Shame to see Brent leave, as he's a very good singer, but hey, hopefully he's doing what's right for him! Scott also announced that a new singer has been secured, and it is Krista Marshall, who sang in the inactive local cover band Johnny Lunchbox with Turner Up bassist Jeff Gray. This is an interesting move, and while it gives the band a more than capable frontwoman with experience in this type of band, I wonder how "hard rock" they'll be going forward? I guess we won't know until we hear them! If you want a taste of Krista's work with Jeff in Johnny Lunchbox, click here to see some good quality videos, but the songs aren't all that heavy.So this weekend marks Turner Up's debut with Krista Marshall on vocals, and they'll be on at The Nicolet Tavern at 10:00 PM tomorrow and Saturday night! There is no announced cover charge, and you must be 19 to enter. My sources for their shows this weekend are their Facebook group and the marquee board at the Nicolet. Hopefully these shows go well, and best of luck to Krista with the new band, I know she'll do great! For more, check out the above links, and if I hear anything coming out of these shows, I'll have them here!
That's all for today, but stay tuned for a huge post including three newly discovered local metal/hard rock acts later today! Thanks everyone, and go see some shows this weekend!
