First off for the weekend, we'll head to The Satisfied Frog, where Marquette hard rockers Nudge return to the area for a weekend of great covers! I should note that now, they're only playing shows as Nudge tonight and tomorrow night, as the band have removed their past "Nudge-coustic" sets from their MySpace page's concert listings. As it turns out, their past acoustic sets appear to have been pared down to just frontman Danzo McCracken playing a solo set on those nights, but without a clear idea of his solo genre, I haven't plugged them on here. But they are definitely on for Friday and Saturday concerts this weekend, with the full band in tow! Both shows start at 10:00 PM at The Frog, with no announced cover charge, and you must be 21 to enter. These should be fun shows, as Nudge are a very talented band with loads of great metal and hard rock covers in store! For more information, visit the above links and the official Facebook event page! And for a video preview, here's a clip of Nudge covering Ozzy Osbourne's "Mama I'm Coming Home"!
Next up, Sault Michigan hard rock quintet River Witch will be playing at The Rapids Lounge at Kewadin Casino this weekend! Though not confirmed on their Facebook page, which is sporadically updated at best, Kewadin Casino's entertainment page has them playing, so there's my source! It's actually even more up to date and current now, because they updated the listing at some point last month to reflect the fact that River Witch had taken over the bookings previously made for Blind Baby, who River Witch basically evolved from this summer. That being said, River Witch will be playing at The Rapids Lounge tonight and tomorrow night for two shows presumably around 9:00 PM with no cover charge and a 21+ age limit. I still don't know a ton about River Witch-sound wise, but featuring members of Blind Baby, Kilacel, and Scofflaw can't be a bad sign! So if you wanna hear some modern and classic rock covers across the river, here's an option! Check the above links for more, visit Blind Baby's page linked above to get a possible glimpse of River Witch's sound!T
hirdly, we'll head back to Sault Ontario, and starting things on that front is another acoustic solo show from Tym Morrison! Yes, Caveman Morrison's frontman returns to the stage for his first public solo concert in two months when he makes his way back to The Bottoms Up Lounge tomorrow night! If you want to hear some intimate acoustic covers of your favourite metal and rock classics, among other genres, then seriously consider going to see Tym tomorrow! This is his only scheduled acoustic date on the horizon, so who knows when he'll be back? The fun starts at 10:00 PM tomorrow, with no announced cover charge and a 19+ age limit. This should be a good show to enjoy a few drinks to, and who doesn't love hearing great covers? Who needs an amplifier to rock anyway? For more details, check out the above links and the Facebook event page! Though I haven't came across any live videos of Tym's solo work, head to his official website for solo and Caveman audio clips!
Finally, a rising hard rock band are coming through town on Sunday night as support for a band full of big names from Canadian rock! Toronto's own Desperate Union will be playing an opening set tomorrow night at The Canadian Nightclub as direct support for alternative rock supergroup Crash Karma! Crash Karma are a very talented band with ex-members of I Mother Earth, Our Lady Peace, and The Tea Party in their lineup, and you may have seen them on MuchMusic in the past for hits like "Awake" and "Fight"! Not metal, but worth checking out, especially with the pedigree of their lineup! As for Desperate Union, they're a very talented and promising trio that have accomplished a great deal given their young ages! They have videos on MuchMusic, they opened for Soulfly recently, and are showing much promise with their brand of alternative-tinged hard rock! Check out the above links for more on both bands! This show will take place on Sunday night with doors opening at 9:30 PM. You must be 19 to enter, and tickets are $10 in advance at the Knights Inn front desk above The Canadian. The door price is $15. For more details, check out the official Facebook event page!I'll be at this show, and it should provide some solid rock for a Sunday night! I'm digging Desperate Union especially, but prepare for some good stuff all around if you go! For a preview, here's Desperate Union's music video for their song "Don't Forget Me (Angel)"!
That's all for now, but stay tuned later tonight for another news post, and more very soon, including a Crash Karma/Desperate Union review on Monday! Thanks everyone!
