Who Made Who Concert Preview & New Video Uploads!!

Before I head off to the Halloween Party at The Rockstar Bar, here's our first post of November 2019, and it features one more weekend concert preview and some new videos from the last while! Here's what you should know!

Toronto-based AC/DC tribute band Who Made Who will return to Sault Ste. Marie for another round of high voltage rock 'n roll TOMORROW NIGHT at The Canadian Nightclub! Once a frequent sight at The Canadian in the early 2010s, Who Made Who have played elsewhere in their most recent local dates, most recently at The Rockstar Bar last April. Fans who have seen Who Made Who locally will attest to their faithful looking and sounding take on AC/DC's live concerts, for both the Bon and Brian eras, and it'll be great to see them back in the area tomorrow! Tickets for this 9:00 PM and 19+ event are $15, and can be bought at The Canadian Motor Hotel's front desk, though the price jumps to $20 at the door. If you love AC/DC, you won't want to miss out on all of this classic action tomorrow, so visit the official Facebook event page for more details, and here's Who Made Who live a couple of years back!



Next up, let's dive into some recent new videos, starting with three belated videos from the Michale Graves concert at the aforementioned Canadian Nightclub in September, courtesy of Christopher Paci's excellent YouTube channel in the past week! At the time, Chris had posted 12 videos from the night, including 8 of the former Misfits frontman's headlining set, but you can judge for yourself why these three were so delayed. The new videos are of Michale and company playing four "Famous Monsters" songs from the second half of his set, namely "Saturday Night", "Them", and as embedded below, his closing songs "Helena" (well, part of it) and "Kong Unleashed." You can tell that Michale's voice was tiring as the show progressed, but the videos are solid as usual, and the crowd response is great, especially on "Saturday Night"! Give these a look above and below, as well as Chris' initial batch of videos!



Also today, let's continue playing catch-up with the videos shared to Sault Michigan classical metal band Theatre of Night's Facebook group as they continue prepping for their Christmas tour (starting later this month!) On August 26th, keyboardist Craig Harrison shared this 30 second video of computer tracking for a studio version (with vocals) of "What Child Is This?", noting in the caption that he was editing and mixing Rachel's vocal tracks for 3½ hours, achieving "nuanced (and) small perfections." As best as I can tell, it sounds great! Five days later, some humorous photos were shared from bassist Scott Andringa's recording sessions featuring him having fun with guitarist Steve Giles and some unexpected props, with this video of him playing air guitar (I suppose) also being posted with them. While set to the band's studio tracking, this is far more light-hearted and silly, but it's worth a watch if you're in that mindset!

Embedded below is a minute-long video of Steve playing his guitar solo for Theatre of Night's version of "Star of the East", as bookended with shots of the computer tracking his performance. Casual setting but strongly performed as you may expect, so give it a look below, and look for more of their videos from this fall in the coming days!



Finally, remember the video of local party metal trio The Apocalypse Afterparty covering Lorde's "Tennis Courts" at their private "Spooktacular Soiree" at the revived Mellow D's Underground last month? Well, there's more where that came from, but not on their Facebook page. Despite being filmed by rapper Conika (according to the band), that video and one more from that night were uploaded to YouTube user Miranda Siegrist's channel earlier this week, plus extra footage from The Soo's Got Talent that we haven't covered on here. We'll get to those videos next week, but for now, here's the other video that Conika filmed/Miranda uploaded, and it's another cover, this time of MGMT's "Kids. Recording's a little rough, but the cover is lively and effectively made into an aggressive number (Paul's screaming has improved with time, he's worked at it!) Give it a look below, and stay tuned for more from this channel in due course!



That's all for today, but stay tuned for this month's "Where Are The New Albums?" post on the site next! Thanks everyone!
