Kudos to Bone Yard for stepping in at month's end! Remember, the two bands shared the stage at the Dragonfly Run and will do so again at Toystock. Also, these will be your local 225's only Esquire Club dates this fall. Fresh off of playing three consecutive weekends at Reggie's Place, the guys will return to the downtown staple for three shows next month, including a one-nighter on Friday, December 13th and a full weekend on December 20th-21st. The latter two shows could have a Christmas/seasonal theme given the timing, so keep tabs with Bone Yard 225 and/or Reggie's for details closer to. Their Friday the 13th gig is a one-nighter due to them taking on an "uncorked" gig at The Water Tower Pub on Saturday, December 14th, so if you like their unplugged stylings, head to this central venue in just over a month's time (or sooner?). Their last scheduled date this year will be another one-nighter at Shooters Downstairs Lounge on Saturday, December 28th (no word on a possible New Year's gig yet).
Lots of chances to see Bone Yard ahead before we enter 2025, so don't miss out at these four venues! Aside from the Water Tower Pub date (8:00 PM), these will all start at around 9:30 PM, and all are 19+ events with no announced cover charge. Before we move on, let's share some new videos of Bone Yard 225 live at Reggie's this past Saturday night, courtesy of both the band's Facebook page (by way of attendee Marcy Catherine's personal Facebook page) and Reggie's Facebook page! On this night, over a dozen fans showed up dressed as Helen Roper, Audra Lindley's landlord character from early seasons of Three's Company and its spin-off The Ropers. What brought on a post-Halloween invasion of Mrs. Ropers at Reggie's, I honestly don't know, but everyone's having fun and that's what most important! Both Reggie's and Marcy filmed the same cover for Facebook, namely David Wilcox's "(My Eyes) Keep Me In Trouble".
Marcy's video is longer than Reggie's, so hers is embedded below, while Marcy also got a "Reel" of the Mrs. Ropers dancing to the Three's Company theme before Bone Yard 225's first set (Greg's reaction is great!). Credit to Greg for altering the song's lyrics to fit the audience too (ie. "I want every Roper I see"), who were dancing up a storm throughout. I wish these all weren't shot vertically, but this is a fun and unexpected show crashing moment, especially for fans of 1970s sitcoms, so check everything out above & below! Will we get a Mr. Furley invasion next?!
We'll close today with one more LOCAL CONCERT ALERT for later this month, as local hard rock quartet Half Past will return to the aforementioned Shooters Downstairs Lounge for one night only on Saturday, November 30th! With the Christmas season truly in full swing by then, this will be Half Past's first gig since their Soo Blaster headlining date last month, and their first show at Shooters since early August. The guys promise to have new songs in their set later this month, so whether you've seen the reunited band's hard rock cover attack yet this year or not, you should get a solid dose here! A one-nighter due to Shooters' Friday DJ nights, this show will have a 19+ age limit and no cover. A 9:30 PM start time is advertised, but be advised that the Soo Greyhounds are hosting the North Bay Battalion in OHL regular season action that night. Shooters is very close to GFL Memorial Gardens, and they do screen televised Hounds games as well.
This could mean that the concert could be delayed if the game runs long, so keep that in mind, and of course, attendance will swell post-game as hockey fans mosey on over to the Dennis Street nightclub. Should make for a good crowd for Half Past! Visit the above links for more details, and stay tuned for more news and notes in the coming days! Thanks everyone!
