LOCAL CONCERT ALERT (Tym Morrison) And Sault Ontario Weekend Concert Previews!!

Alright, it's now time for our second part of our three-post weekend concert previews, and today, we have five shows in Sault Ontario itself to preview, one of which is newly announced, so that's a LOCAL CONCERT ALERT too! And yes, Sault Michiganders, we'll preview your weekend concerts early tomorrow! Now, to this weekend's previews on the Ontario side, starting with the new show! (And for my preview of this weekend's Hempfest, check the post below this one!)

As could be expected, Caveman Morrison frontman Tym Morrison will return to Service Grill Pizza on Saturday for some acoustic metal goodness! His weekly arrangement there continues for two sets on Saturday, after just playing the afternoon set there last week due to the Hollow reunion show. So if you wanna see Tym at 3:00 PM or 8:00 PM, you're good this week! Actually, knowing that this arrangement was only scheduled for the summer, this could be one of the last times you could see him at the Korah Road pizza joint this year (barring an extension), but I assume it will run at least through the end of August. Also note that he'll be back at the Tilt'n Hilton in Hilton Beach on St. Joseph Island Sunday too, so if you wanna make the long drive out there on Sunday afternoon, then definitely go see Tym on Sunday! There is no announced cover charge, and again, it appears to be all ages on Saturday. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! Sounds like fun, hopefully Tym tears it up this weekend! Go see him here or in Hilton Beach if you can, and for a preview, here's Tym covering Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven" in 2009!



Now to the previously announced shows, and first, it's TONIGHT'S 28th Roosevelt Hotel metal night! However, if the lineup seems familiar to a non-Dismembertainment show at The Oddfellows Hall three weeks ago, it's no coincidence, as Halifax classic metal bands Black Moor & Sanktuary are coming back to Sault Ontario tonight to rock The Rosie! Awesome to see them back so soon, seeing as they slayed The Rosie the first time around! However, there will be changes, including cooler temperatures and a new band order. This time, Black Moor will headline, with Sanktuary again co-headlining the concert. Local death metal band The Bear Hunters (who played last three weeks ago) will instead be third on tonight's bill, in what will also be their record 13th appearance at a Thursday metal night! The opening band for tonight will be grimecore rockers Shit Liver, in their first metal night appearance in 7 weeks. Good to see them back, they're piling on the bookings now that they're back gigging! With the out of town bands (which we haven't seen on a Thursday since The Dayglo Abortions), there will be a nominal cover of $3 (it's worth every penny though, and cheaper than three weeks ago.) As usual, it's a 19+ show, and Shit Liver start things off at 9:30 PM. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page!

Awesome show all around, hopefully a big crowd shows up! And if you missed Sanktuary and Black Moor last month, do yourself a favour and check them out tonight, their classic metal sounds aren't to be missed! Check the above links for more, and for a preview, here's Black Moor playing "Acid Biker" at The Oddfellows Hall last month!



Also this weekend is a very cool all ages show taking place tomorrow night at The Oddfellows Hall featuring three metal bands and the return of alternative rock trio Smeltzer! They were a talented & prominent sight in the mid-2000s, and now they're back for one night only to headline this all ages concert! Not metal, but if you saw them, you know how entertaining they were! Not sure which of their old lineups will reform for this show, but for reference sake, their last active lineup featured RedD Monkey frontman Steve Mozarowski, bassist Paul Stanghetta of The Fury, and ex-RedD Monkey/Gates of Winter drummer Kevin Overton. Conveniently, RedD Monkey are also scheduled for tomorrow night as the co-headliners, which should ensure a punk filled finish for tomorrow's show! Below them, the show includes local hardcore band Changing Waves (replacing Winkstinger tomorrow), indie rockers The Tenagens, and one day after the Rosie metal night, Shit Liver & The Bear Hunters once again! That's the performance order, but I should address the lineup, as it's changed since the show was first announced.

The Tenagens & The Bear Hunters flipped their spots at 7:45 PM & 9:00 PM (now 9:15 PM), but now, Changing Waves have been promoted from opening at 7:00 PM to third on the bill at 9:15 PM, bumping The Tenagens, Shit Liver, and The Bear Hunters back a slot each to 8:30 PM, 7:45 PM, and 7:00 PM respectively, with Smeltzer & RedD Monkey playing at 10:45 PM & 10:00 PM. This show is ALL AGES with a $5 cover, and doors open at 6:00 PM. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! Sounds like fun, and I will be there to enjoy the local talent! It's been forever for me to see Smeltzer, and you can't beat an old school all ages show like this! Hope to see you guys there, and for a preview, here's RedD Monkey covering Motorhead's "Ace of Spaces"!



Finally for this weekend, local classic hard rock quartet Full Circle are back at The Roosevelt Hotel for a weekend set tomorrow night and Saturday night! Their busy schedule of weekends continues at The Rosie this weekend, and they should have some great covers in store from all eras of hard rock over the next two nights! Nothing too different for their shows this weekend, but remember that the new patio at The Rosie is open, if that's a selling point! They'll be on at 10:00 PM both nights, you must be 19 to attend, and there is no cover charge. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! Always good to see Full Circle out and about, and hopefully they'll deliver a great weekend of music as always tomorrow night & Saturday night! Hopefully Hempfest doesn't sap the attendance either, but fans will come out either way! For a preview, click here and move to 13:20 of the video to see Full Circle cover of Heart's "Alone" at this year's Rotaryfest!

That's all for today, but stay tuned for Sault Michigan weekend concert previews and more news tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
