Michale Graves Concert Videos, Plus A Brand New Single!!

Today's video-centric post looks at lots of footage from a big recent concert, plus the latest from a prolific local solo artist, but let's begin with the concert in question, as Christopher Paci's YouTube channel now has 12 videos from the Michale Graves-headlined concert at The Canadian Nightclub last month! Kudos to Chris once again, he certainly doesn't have to go through all of this trouble, but it's great to see more footage make it online for the public to see! Eight of his videos are of the former Misfits frontman during his back-to-back performances of his two Misfits studio albums, with Chris filming Michale and band playing "From Hell They Came", "Dig Up Her Bones", "Crimson Ghost", "Day Of The Dead", "Shining", "Hell Night", and "Scream" (his only filmed song from "Famous Monsters".) Embedded below is Graves' opening song, the title track from "American Psycho",and these showcase the live show well with a solid crowd!

Vocals can be inconsistent as the set progresses, and you do get more of a sense of Michale's lack of banter between songs, but the show was definitely a hit with attendees, and you can relive much of the first half above & below!



Next up, Chris got three videos of local horror punk/metal quintet Frightlight's reunion set, where the guys (and guest guitarist Handsome Dan) played their original songs "C.H.U.D.", most of "Fright Night", and as embedded below, "World War Z." Solid performances with the guys fully in their element after the 11 month wait since their Halloween show last year, so give these a look above and below (and get well soon, Chris Freaknstein!)



Lastly, Chris Paci filmed opening alt-punk trio A Dire Setback for a single clip of them playing their song "Everlasting Despair." This may be his only video of theirs, but it is the longest video he posted from this concert, so there's that! Solid and straightforward rendition of this familiar live standard, albeit sounding a little lower than I recall from earlier shows. Check this one out below as well, and stay tuned for more on their debut album!



Finally, here's our first look at a full track from local/Thompson, Manitoba solo hard rock artist Mike Haggith's upcoming 50th studio album "If Ever Comes The Day!" Remember, he is bumping "Bridges" to a later date due to a number of outside circumstances. Entitled "Communique", this song was unveiled in a live-stream on his Facebook page on September 24th. In it's write-up, Mike says that this was the newest completed song for the new CD, which he describes as containing his "best material yet." Apparently, "Communique" is more stripped down than other tracks on the album (as evidenced on the teaser for "The Best You Never Had"), and it helps illustrate his shift back to first-person storytelling on this CD, compared to the mental health advocacy themes on "Bridges." I'll hold full comment on the song until our presumed review of the full album on the site, but fans of Mike's solo material will want to give this a listen below!



That's all for today, but stay tuned for more news and updates on the site in the coming week! Thanks everyone!
