As expected, we had to run this weekend's plentiful amount of hard rock concert previews to a third post focusing on acts playing shows tomorrow night that had advance notice, but it has been supplemented by LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS, including a new SHORT NOTICE find, so here's what you should know to cap off the merry merry month of May (and beyond!)
Local classic/hard rock cover musician Tym Morrison will return to Misty's Fifties for another matinee concert TOMORROW, but he will also rock The Fraternal Order Of Eagles Club for another matinee gig on SUNDAY! Apologies for the short notice on the Eagles show, that was quietly announced via its Facebook event page on May 18th, which also includes new confirmations of other matinee bookings at Aerie #3991 for the summer! Tym will also bring his unplugged rock cover stylings to the Steelton venue for four nighttime Saturday gigs ahead, though we'll only list the June 28th, July 19th, and August 23rd ones for now due to the fact that only Tym has known public shows announced past mid-September online among local hard rock acts. Similarly, Tym has quietly added gigs through the end of the year to the Facebook event page for his Misty's matinees, so we'll only add seven of those to the calendar until other acts catch up for the fall.
As such, Tym's acoustic solo act will return to the Second Line West nightclub for Saturday matinees on June 7th, July 5th & 26th, August 2nd & 30th, and September 6th & 20th! The August gigs there fall on the Civic Holiday and Labour Day long weekends, for what it's worth. Good to see Tym staying busy between these dates and occasional Beck's and Dive shows, so keep all in mind for unplugged hard rock cover action! All Misty's shows (tomorrow included) are at 4:00 PM, SUNDAY's at The Eagles Club is at 2:00 PM, the other shows ahead there are at 8:00 PM, none have announced cover charges, and I believe the Misty's shows are 19+. Visit the above links for more details, and for a preview, here's Tym live!
Next up, Gatineau, Quebec death metal band Insurrection will make their local concert debut on Wednesday, July 30th when they headline at Soo Blaster! An established name in the Quebec metal scene with albums dating back to 2008, Insurrection's punishing, groove-inflected brand of death metal should attract a solid turnout of local metalheads in two months, and hopefully this stop on their tour in support of their new album "Obsolescence" is a huge hit! Local support will come by way of death/thrash metal trio Pillory (who are no strangers to support sets for touring metal bands this year) and crossover thrash quartet Hails, who will be just five days removed from opening for The Ripcordz, so momentum will definitely be on their side! Yes, we'll have more on Pillory's recent video content on the site soon. This concert is all ages (as usual for Soo Blaster) with doors opening at 6:30 PM, and advance tickets will be on sale for $20.
I don't know if advance tickets will be going on sale online, but members of the local bands will be able to hook you up (I believe Ha!ls guitarist Mikhal Muto is at least co-promoting this one), and the door charge will jump to $25. While the Wednesday scheduling won't be ideal for people working mid-week, this should be a brutal and high impact night of original metal, so definitely visit the official Facebook event page for more details on Insurrection's show here this summer!
We'll return to this weekend's concert previews now with two more concerts TOMORROW NIGHT, including the return of local classic/hard rock cover quartet Generations to The Water Tower Pub! A private event last week aside, this will be the Jus' Chillin successors' first public concert since rocking Jay's two weeks ago, and their first stop at the Great Northern Road nightclub since early last month. Fans of heavy-leaning classic rock will find lots to like from Valerie, the Tonys, and Pierre once again, and hopefully they have a great turnout and lots of solid tunes in store at The Water Tower Pub to end the month of May with! Remember that this venue routinely hosts different nightly acts, with Out & Out Country (featuring Double Down drummer Ric Datson) playing there tonight. This is an 8:00 PM concert tomorrow with a 19+ age limit and no cover. See above for more details, and here's Generations live!
Finally for this stacked slate of weekend concert previews, we'll head to where we started: The Dive Gastro Pub, where local acoustic classic/hard rock duo Dodge This will set up shop TOMORROW NIGHT! While not freshly advertised by the band on social media, this will be their first announced gig since debuting at Beck's Bar earlier this month, and continues a recent trend of playing at The Dive about once a month, though singer/guitarist Jason Taillefer did play in their "Naughty Corner" two weeks ago. Assuming that nothing unannounced has happened to this date, it should give fans a strong night of rocking covers from Jason & Jamie (and Jeff?), so consider a trip to the former Low & Slow tomorrow to cap off the month right! This show has an advertised 10:00 PM start time, a 19+ age limit, and no cover charge. Visit the above links for more details, and here's Dodge This live!
That's all for now, but stay tuned for this month's CD review on the site next! Thanks everyone!
