Caveman Morrison frontman Tym Morrison is in fact playing another solo concert in his weekly arrangement at Service Grill Pizza on Korah Road TOMORROW! Though I was aware that Tym had another weekly schedule set up there for the summer, I was starting to wonder if there would be anything this week, as he never publically acknowledged a show on his own Facebook pages or his website's schedule for last week (though SooToday did mention it.) Well, whether he was there last week or not, I can't confirm, but he's back at the Service Grill TOMORROW NIGHT for two sets of entertaining acoustic hard rock covers! Apologies for the short notice, it was only just formally announced yesterday. Looks like, as was the case the last time around, Tym will play a matinee set at 3:00 PM tomorrow before a more standard nighttime set at 9:00 PM for fans and pizza eaters in attendance! There is no cover charge, and I believe at least the 3:00 set will be all ages. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! Tym's solo stuff is always entertaining, and definitely make note of these shows! For a preview, here's Tym covering Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" in 2009!
Next up, here's some lineup news for an all ages concert next week! Local metal quartet Sativa Rose have dropped out of the Sanktuary/Black Moor all ages concert on Wednesday at The Oddfellows Hall. Promoter/Bear Hunters guitarist Mitch Sirie confirmed the news in an e-mail to attendees on the Facebook event page, simply saying that Sativa Rose "would be unable to perform", although he didn't elaborate further. This is disappointing, but hey, they'll be back before you know it! In a further e-mail, it was confirmed that local cello/punk trio RedD Monkey would replace them as the openers, which is an interesting choice, but they're a great band that will be sure to set the tone well with their unique style of music! I should also note that local death metal quintet Unleash The Blackened Sky (formerly Bring The Misery) indicated in a status update on their Facebook page yesterday that they'd be playing at this show, but I have no idea how far that got before RedD Monkey were confirmed, so don't read too much into it. The other note I had for this show was that curiously, the last band playing on Wednesday isn't one of the out of town bands, it's actually The Bear Hunters! Odd, but I remember that some other local concerts have had the out of town bands playing earlier in the set so they could hit the road earlier, so I assume that's the reasoning. Get full details on this concert at the above links, and I will see you guys there on Wednesday!
Thirdly today, here's the latest news from Eckerman, Michigan metal band Life's Eclipse! The highly promising quartet have released a new video to the Werehold Records YouTube channel featuring samples of updated versions of two songs from their upcoming "Shadow Over Superior" album! The band decided to give the songs "For The Burning" and "Phenotype" a minor facelift, apparently because the band felt the original songs sounded like "1996". So in other words, the band thought they sounded dated, but how do the new versions stack up? Well, I can compare them because the original versions are still on this sample video of the whole album, so click here to see the old versions (and the other samples.) "For The Burning" does sound more energetic and full now than the original did, and the digeridoo-esque opening is pretty unique, but it's still hard to gauge the whole song. The new samples are about 55 seconds each, which is longer than we'd heard before, but still not a full taste, especially sans vocals. "Phenotype" is basically the same story, a fuller and more high impact version of the original, also with a new opening riff. Not bad at all, these are improvements, and I can't wait to hear the full songs! Check the new video out below to hear the updated samples!
And finally today, here's the latest from a local solo metal project! We've mentioned Sault Ontario guitarist Neno Jovanovic's work in his solo project Metallurgy off and on for a while now, but Neno's got some new stuff to share today! Firstly, he's apparently abandoned the Metallurgy name for the project, and is now keeping it self-titled. Probably a wise move if there's other bands named Metallurgy out there. He's also uploaded some new material to his Reverbnation page, including a couple original tracks and some covers! The cover of Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" is still there, but in lieu of his short riff demos, he now has covers where he plays along with Rob Zombie's "Sick Bubblegum" and Mastodon's "Blood and Thunder" as well! He's good, but people are going to assume he just uploaded the original song there, so I would recommend he just covered the song without backing tracks. The new original samples "From The Ground" and "2" are really cool though, they have an awesome groove and would be very welcome on a local stage if Neno ever wanted to form a band! He has the skill, I'd love to see him expand on this solo stuff! Check out Neno's Reverbnation page for more, and I'll keep an eye out for more of his solo work!That's all for today, but stay tuned for more news and updates over the weekend! Thanks everyone!
