LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS (Tym Morrison & Dust N' Bones), Plus New Videos!!

After a post-free holiday, it's back to work on this Tuesday morning at the SMS, so here's what's in store! Today, we've got a new trailer video for an upcoming local release, a new video from a major 2011 hard rock concert, and leading things off, some LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS for the next couple of weeks in the Sault Ontario area, so here's what you need to know!

Caveman Morrison frontman Tym Morrison is returning to Bossy's Pub N' Grub on Saturday for an eighth straight week, but not for his usual 2:00 PM matinee show. Rather, Tym confirmed on this concert's Facebook event page that this weekend's Bossy's gig will be at the usual 10:00 PM start time for his other solo & Caveman concerts, so if you're more used to going out on Saturday nights than Saturday afternoons, this should work out better for you! I don't know whether this is the new time for his Bossy's arrangement or just a one week change, but I have heard about some low attendances from some recent Bossy's matinee shows that Tym played, so if this is permanent, it should be better on paper for attendance. As stated above, Tym will be on at 10:00 PM on Saturday, there shouldn't be a cover charge, and given the timeslot, I'd assume this is a 19+ event. For more details, check the above links! It'll definitely be more familiar to see Tym rocking the stage at night with his acoustic hard rock covers, and hopefully a good crowd turns out on Saturday to take in the music! Stay tuned later in the week for more on this concert!

Also in new concerts, The Canadian Nightclub are bringing another hard rock tribute band to Sault Ontario next month, and if you like Guns N' Roses, you should like this! Toronto-based GNR tribute band Dust N' Bones (no relation to the Sault Michigan band featuring End of Existence & NoXcape alumni) are scheduled to roll through The Canadian for a full weekend of classic Guns N' Roses hits on March 2nd & 3rd! I don't know much on this band specifically as I honestly can't find an online page beyond a YouTube channel for them (though there are many similarly named GNR tributes elsewhere.) They appear to be relatively new, but the videos I've seen are very promising with a good Guns N' Roses sound & look, and I believe they share a drummer with popular Motley Crue tribute band Crued, so I have faith they'll rock the house next weekend! Both the Friday & Saturday shows next weekend have 10:00 PM start times and 19+ age limits, and I'd expect a cover charge of around $5 both nights. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! From what I can detect, Dust N' Bones should satisfy local Guns N' Roses cravings next month, and even if you're a loyalist for Gunz N' FN' Rosez, I say give DNB a shot and check them out on YouTube in advance of what should be a solid weekend of music! Stay tuned for any possible updates if they come in!

We'll close this post with some new Sault Michigan-related videos, starting with a brand new video from Joan Jett & The Blackhearts' headlining concert at The Dreammaker's Theater at Kewadin Casino from last October! YouTube user Shannon Grehan uploaded this video onto her YouTube channel on Sunday, and though it's one of four Joan Jett videos on her channel, it's the only one from the local concert. It's of the then-brand new original song "T.M.I." (or "Too Much Info"), and though we've seen video of this exact performance already (and in full), it's nice to get another angle! Shannon was to Joan's right and fairly close to the stage, which helps the view, but the audio's fairly scratchy, and she didn't capture the full song. Still, this is a solid video, and kudos to Shannon for finally posting it online, so check out Joan Jett rocking her song "T.M.I." at Kewadin Casino last year below!



And finally for today, here's the third trailer/teaser video for Sault Michigan/Grand Rapids metal quintet End of Existence's planned debut album! Posted to the band's YouTube channel yesterday, it's the longest of the three trailers so far (extending past 2 minutes), but it's initially similar to the second video with it's effects-layered band member photo, only this time of singer Bob Helsten, followed by the band's globe logo with information scrolling across it. Nothing new is revealed here (like a track listing, specific release details, price, or so forth), but it gives some nice previews of two songs from the album, and definitely check it out in advance of the album's scheduled release next Wednesday below!



That's all for now, but stay tuned for more news very soon, along with our Candle Hour YouTube Channel Profile TOMORROW and much more to come! Thanks everyone!

LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS (Monkey's Uncle & Swayze Train) And More Assorted News Stories!!

Let's help ring in the new year with our first proper news post of 2012! All of this is from late last year in terms of when it was announced, but hey, you get to some stories when you can, as it was a hectic end of the month. Today, we've got a new video and photos relating to major Kewadin Casino concerts, details on some local musicians' band member searches, and leading things off, here's some LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS!!

Kewadin Casino's entertainment page has been updated again to reflect a few concerts at The Rapids Lounge through August, including the local returns of Monkey's Uncle to Kewadin Casino's bar! The talented local hard rock quartet was absent from Kewadin's schedule for the first three months of the year, leading to some questions about their status, but they'll definitely be rocking The Rapids Lounge for at least three weekends midway through 2012. That said, you can see them there on April 13th & 14th, June 1st & 2nd, and August 3rd & 4th, which doesn't seem as frequent for them as we're used to, though it's possible that they have more shows at other venues that we have yet to hear about. For reference sake, they'll be playing at the St. Ignace Kewadin Casino in late March, as an idea of when they're returning from this likely break. That said, these six new local Monkey's Uncle concerts should be 21+ affairs with no cover charges and 19+ age limits. Check the above links for more details! It's good to see Monkey's Uncle alive & well, and hopefully big crowds show up for their shows this spring & summer! Stay tuned for more on Monkey's Uncle as it comes in!

The other new Kewadin Casino concerts at The Rapids Lounge are for local hard rock quintet Swayze Train, who have added an additional two weekends onto their 2012 concert schedule for Kewadin's bar & concert spot! The local supergroup will return to The Rapids Lounge on May 11th & 12th and June 13th & 14th to deliver their trademark sets of proficient hard rock covers, and you guys won't wanna miss them! Like with the Monkey's Uncle shows, there's no cover charge, likely 10:00 PM start times, and 21+ age limits for these four new concerts, similarly to Swayze Train's shows there this coming weekend & next month. Though neither band has confirmed the shows on their respective pages yet, check the above links for all current details! I wish Swayze Train would post some media online, but I know from what I've heard that they're very talented and will definitely rock this year, so don't miss them at The Rapids Lounge over the first half of 2012! As always, stay tuned for much more from Swayze Train as I hear it!

Thirdly today, let's stay in the vein of Kewadin Casino concerts with another new video from the Bret Michaels concert on Tuesday, but this time, it's from the Poison frontman's official YouTube channel! Just 77 seconds long, the video is of scattered footage from behind the stage showing an enthusiastic crowd and Bret moving and grooving (along with a Bret Michaels nutcracker?!) set to his solo song "Human Zoo", but I have to say, I'm underwhelmed by the video. Besides it's length, I wish they could have left the concert audio in, or at least synched it with "Human Zoo" if it was played at the show, but there's still some nice footage from the concert. Check out this new Bret Michaels video from his show on Tuesday below!



Finally for Kewadin-related posts, some new photos from recent Kewadin Casino concert meet & greets are now online! I wish these were better advertised online, as I'd plug them on the SMS in advance if they'd actually advertise them wider, but hey, there's some nice photos to check out! Among other newer Kewadin photos, albums of meet & greet photos with Joan Jett & Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale are now online to check out, so click the artist names above to see the posted photos! Nice overall, and everyone seems happy in the photos that are on Kewadin's website, but hopefully these get better advertising in the future. Stay tuned for more from Kewadin Casino metal & hard rock concerts as the year rolls on, including if Bret Michaels had a meet & greet or not last month!

And finally, here's four local metal/hard rock artists looking for musicians towards new local projects, and these are in alphabetical order by the name of the artist inquiring on the Musicians Wanted Facebook group, so click here for details if any of these bands interest you. Apologies for the lateness, but hopefully the word gets out, so read on for details!:

• Half Past guitarist Alain Fletcher is looking to join or fill in with a local hard rock or metal band on guitar, and is open to both covers & originals. No word on how this may impact Half Past, but if you'd like to enlist Al for your project, click here to shoot him a message! He'd sure be an asset!
  
• Blackberrys drummer Frank Cuglietta is looking for musicians to complete a new classic hard rock project that would cover bands like Y&T and Whitesnake. There's visible interest, but if you want to audition or inquire about further details, contact Frank at this location!
• Blackwater bassist James Watterworth is looking to form a new experimental metal band as a singer. Honestly, his description of his singing style and what he's looking for in musicians is so hard to sum up that I can't do it justice, but click here and scroll to his post on December 6th to check it out. If you're interested, visit this link to inquire about the band!
  
• Local metal multi-instrumentalist Mitch Sirie (The Bear Hunters/Borderline Divine/April Eyes) is staying busy with yet another project, this time a progressive death metal project that would cover bands like Dream Theater, Opeth, and Mastodon. Specifically, he wants a drummer, but I don't know who else (if anyone) is connected with this project. Click here to contact Mitch if you're interested in trying out!

That's all for now, but stay tuned for our next "Where Are The New Albums?" post tomorrow, and for much more news in the coming days! Thanks everyone!

Late & Loud Concert Preview, More Joan Jett Videos, And This Week's Classic Video!!

Let's kick off Wednesday right with a new news post, and in this one, we have a bunch of new videos from the Joan Jett concert on Friday, this week's classic video, and leading the charge, a concert preview, so here's all that you need to know!

We have a midweek concert to preview today, and it's the return of Late & Loud to The Speak Easy TONIGHT! Details are scant on this show, but it will be the talented classic metal quartet's first headlining show at Algoma University's campus bar in over a month, and first concert of any type since a Rosie metal night in late September. The band mas only minimally plugged this concert since announcing it last week, but I assume it will be mostly similar to their usual Speak Easy concerts. For the record, I have no clue if this show will have a Halloween tie-in, but if I hear anything more official on this concert, I guarantee you'll hear it here! That said, I expect this show will be a 19+ affair (except maybe for underage Algoma students), a 10:00 PM-ish start time is likely, and I'd bring cash in the event there's a cover. Check the above links for more details! Regardless of a lack of information, Late & Loud's word is good, and with past members of Stillbroke, The Glass Statues, and Losing Ground in their lineup, you know there's plenty of talent to go around! Check them out tonight at The Speak Easy if you can, and for a preview, here's Late & Loud covering Witchcraft's "Chylde of Fire" at what is now Feedback earlier this year!



Now to some more new Joan Jett & The Blackhearts concert videos from this past Friday night at The Dreammakers Theater at Kewadin Casino, and first, here's four brand new ones from a new video source! These come from YouTube user Gwen Walker, who uploaded four videos from the show onto her YouTube channel over the last two days. Her videos were all shot on a cell phone camera, and they feature Joan playing her song "Fake Friends", her covers of The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" & The Runaways' "You Drive Me Wild", and in the video we're featuring below, her encore songs "Little Liar" and a cover of Sweet's "A.C.D.C."! Gwen got a decent angle of Joan and the band from the left of the stage, but on a narrow cell phone camera, you don't get the best view. The audio works well enough though, and everything sounds about as clear as you'd expect! Nice videos overall, so check out all 4 of Gwen's videos from the Joan Jett concert above, and here's the encore from the show!



Also new from the concert are four more videos from YouTube user scott45044, who had previously uploaded videos of Joan & The Blackhearts playing their two newest songs "T.M.I." and "Hard To Grow Up" on Monday. Well, Scott followed those up with four more videos yesterday, and if you saw how good of a quality the first two videos were, you'll definitely wanna check these out! In the new clips, you'll be able to see Joan play her cover of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" again & her classic "I Love Rock N' Roll", as well as her songs "Go Home" (or part of it), "Love Is Pain", and "The French Song"! The quality's as good as before, and Scott deserves a lot of props for giving us such good videos from the Joan Jett show! Lots of good stuff here, but note that the audio is out of sync with the video at points. Because it's a hard rocker, was recorded in full, and wasn't embedded on here before from another user, here's Scott's video of Joan playing "The French Song", but check the above links for the rest of his videos from the show! Also, it's still odd that no videos of "I Hate Myself For Loving You" are out, but maybe it wasn't in the setlist. Oh well, what we've got works really well!



And finally, here's this week's classic video! With two huge shows of theirs coming up, it made perfect sense to tie in this week's video with local horror punk quintet Frightlight, who are of course opening for The Misfits in Toronto TONIGHT, then headlining the Coch's Corner Halloween party this Saturday! That said, this is another video from a recent Fitswitch reunion concert, and remember, every Frightlight member except Mike "Eddie Fright" Gingras were in past Fitswitch lineups. Like our classic video of Fitswitch covering Frightlight's "She Screams" from August, this comes from the very same concert set at The Elks Hall on March 22nd, 2010, in honour of guitarist Kevin Powe's stag & doe. In this video however, the classic Fitswitch lineup (including four past or present Frightlight members & Andrew MacDonald on bass) fittingly covered The Misfits' song "Dig Up Her Bones", and they don't do a bad job! On the original video (which guitarist Rick White uploaded to Facebook shortly after the show), there is some self-deprecating jabs at the lack of practice for the set, but it sounds pretty good still, even if some parts are messy! They know their Misfits and they pull them off well!

The original video can be seen at http://facebook.com/video/video.php?v=408246021302, though after posting it to YouTube, I did edit the lighting to make it a bit brighter and less washed out looking. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INTENDED!! All credit for this video goes to Fitswitch and Krista Kelly, who filmed this and other videos from this set. They did all the hard work, I'm just sharing this video with a wider audience! With that said, check out Fitswitch covering The Misfits last year below, and go see Fitswitch members OPEN for The Misfits as Frightlight TONIGHT in Toronto if you have tickets! It'll be a good one!



That's all for now, but stay tuned for our next Saultites In Out Of Town Bands Profile on The Lust Boys (featuring Glass Statues guitarist Ben Kemp-Reynolds) later today! Thanks everyone!

Joan Jett Concert Videos!!

So, who wants to see some videos from Friday's Joan Jett & The Blackhearts concert at The Dreammaker's Theater at Kewadin Casino? I've found a bunch, so we'll dedicate this whole post to them! To be fair, we'll go in alphabetical order by YouTube channel name, so without any further adieu, let's take a look at how this major Kewadin Casino concert went! First, we have a video from the concert by a YouTube user named Brooke (a.k.a. DocOfAreaology), who uploaded a video of Joan playing her song "Love Is Pain" last night. The audio's really scratchy, but the angle of the stage isn't bad, and from where she was on the mid-right of the crowd, you see things well enough! Not one of Joan's heaviest songs, but underneath the scratchy phone camera audio, you can tell the song was done right! Check out Brooke's video of Joan Jett playing "Love Is Pain" below!



Next are two Joan Jett concert videos from attendee Kiley Johnstone, who uploaded these onto her YouTube channel on Saturday. It took some extra work to prove these were from the Kewadin show, but I'm positive they are now! She got videos of Joan Jett & The Blackhearts playing her classic song "Bad Reputation", and the one we're featuring below, where she covered The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" followed by her classic "I Love Rock N' Roll"! Though also filmed on a cell phone camera, the quality's much better than on Brooke's video, with much clearer audio, even if the dimensions are really narrow. Kiley was further away too, but it all worked out! Heavier songs too, so definitely check these out at the above links, and check out Joan Jett covering The Stooges and playing "I Love Rock N' Roll" below!



Another attendee with videos was "Raining Bliss" (a.k.a. YouTube user NeinDasIstComfy), who uploaded two videos of Joan Jett's set over the past two days onto her YouTube channel. She filmed Joan covering her old band The Runaways' song "Cherry Bomb" as well as a debuting new song named "Hard To Grow Up"! According to this site, this was the first time this song was ever played live by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, which is awesome! It has promise, that's for sure, and "Cherry Bomb" must have been cool for older Runaways fans, so kudos to Bliss for filming this! The video quality is really good on these videos too, with a closer stage angle and nice audio, so check out the videos at the above links, and here's her video of Joan Jett's new song!



Finally for new YouTube videos from this major concert, YouTube user scott45044 filmed Joan playing both "Hard To Grow Up" and another new song named "T.M.I." at the show! Both videos were posted onto his YouTube channel yesterday. These are probably the best videos from the show so far for quality, especially as Scott got Joan's intros for both tracks, and in wide-screen! Nice to get another view on "Hard To Grow Up", and "T.M.I." (standing for "Too Much Info") also sounds pretty good! Joan hasn't lost a step at all, and hopefully these new songs become favourites, so check them out at the above links, and here's "T.M.I."!



That's all for now, but stay tuned for more news and notes hopefully later today! Thanks everyone!

Sault Michigan Weekend Concert Previews (Including Joan Jett) And New Videos!!

It's Sault Michigan concert preview time, and there's a pretty major concert going down this weekend for your live music fix, so we'll give that the proper attention to kick things off! Stay tuned afterwards for the other weekend previews across the river (Sault Ontario previews are likely coming later today) and some new videos from a recent major concert, but now, here's what you need to know for this weekend's main event!

Multiplatinum hard rock legend Joan Jett is coming to Sault Michigan TOMORROW NIGHT! The female rock pioneer known for hits like "Bad Reputation", "I Love Rock N' Roll", and "I Hate Myself For Loving You" will take the stage at The Dreammakers Theater at Kewadin Casino with her band The Blackhearts for a night of rock classics! To my knowledge, this is her first time playing a show in the twin Saults, but if memory serves me correctly, she headlined at Cornfest on St. Joseph Island years back, so she hasn't been too far from the area! I haven't heard a ton of buzz for the show compared to some other major Kewadin concerts, but rest assured, Joan still rocks as much as she did in the 1980s, and you won't wanna miss her tomorrow night! As far as I can tell, there's no opening band. Tickets are $44.50 American for this show, and they are still available, but if you're buying general admission tickets, only standing room only is currently available. Click here to buy tickets online, visit the Kewadin box office in person, or call 1-800-KEWADIN to get hooked up! This show should be all ages, and everything starts tomorrow night at 7:00 PM. For more details, check the above links!

It's always good to see some hard rock superstars at Kewadin Casino, and Joan Jett fits the bill nicely! She's made her mark with tons of memorable hits dating back to The Runaways, and good times should be guaranteed tomorrow night! She's aged really well too, so the songs shouldn't sound too different than back in the day! Hopefully you guys can make it to the show, stay tuned for fallout from it as it comes out, and here's Joan's music video for her cover of Sweet's "A.C.D.C."!



Now, if you're in the mood for more rock n' roll at Kewadin after Joan Jett wraps things up (or if you're at the casino on Saturday), good news, as Splitshot will return to The Rapids Lounge tomorrow & Saturday night themselves! These shows are new additions to their concert schedule, following local Southern rockers The Hixx's exit from this weekend's dates, so don't forget about the shorter notice new concerts! Also, these are the first Splitshot shows I've been able to confirm featuring new drummer Jake LaLonde (ex-Nixxon Dixxon), but I believe he played at least one or two weekends with them before I found out he replaced Tony Hubbard last week. Either way, it's cool to see him back in a local band! They'll be on at around 9:00 PM or later tomorrow & Saturday, so you Joan Jett fans (of age) can stop right in after she's done! There's no cover charge, and you must be 21 to attend. Check the above links for more details! This sounds like another good weekend for Splitshot, so don't miss their hard rock cover attack if you can help it! No videos to preview their set with though, but hopefully soon, so go check them out!

Let's close this post with new videos, and first, we have new videos from the Napalm Death concert at Feedback on Saturday night! Once again, these are from attendee & local guitarist Neno Jovanovic, and he's uploaded three more videos from the show onto his YouTube channel, including another from Napalm Death's set! This time around, the video features the British grindcore legends playing SIX songs, almost all from their 1987 debut album "Scum", and in order, they played "Scum", "Life?", "Control", "M.A.D.", and "You Suffer" (the Guinness World Record holder for the world's shortest song... blink & you'll miss it!), followed by their cover of The Dead Kennedys' "Nazi Punks Fuck Off"! With only one of these songs exceeding 2 minutes in length, we get a lot of bang for our buck in this video, so definitely check out Napalm Death revisiting songs from their first album live in Sault Ontario below! Also, here's an interesting fact: No current member of Napalm Death played on the "Scum" album. They still brutalize when playing these songs though!



And finally, Neno also provided us with two new videos of the local openers, including out first video glimpse at Shit Liver's set! First though, he uploaded a video of The Bear Hunters playing their original song "Render This Void", which apparently capped off their set, and they did it in style for sure! Nice and heavy, as you'd expect, but I prefer "Bloodthirst" from the last video just for song preferences. Click here to check it out! The other new video is of Shit Liver's co-headlining set, and in this video, they covered Macabre's "Unabomber"! About as grimy as you'd expect, but it's some of the best quality audio I've heard to go with their music, and they appear to be playing as well as we've come to expect from them! It'd be interesting to see video of the new songs that the local bands reportedly played on Saturday, and of course, video footage of Calgary death metal band Wake's set, but I don't know if Neno filmed anything else. Great stuff all around though, so check the above links for the rest of the currently uploaded Napalm Death footage, and here's Shit Liver covering Macabre from this past Saturday night!



That's all for today, but stay tuned for Sault Ontario weekend concert previews either later today or early tomorrow! Thanks everyone!

HUGE LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS (Joan Jett & Skid Row) Plus Some New Videos!!

Well guys, I have some big news to share today, as we have two HUGE LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS to let you guys know about, one for each side of the Twin Saults! We'll cap things with some new songs and videos, but let's dive straight into these major new shows, going (as usual) in chronological order!

Hard rock legend Joan Jett is making her way to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan this fall! The female rock pioneer known for hits like "I Love Rock N' Roll", "Bad Reputation", and "I Hate Myself For Loving You" will hit The Dreammakers Theater at Kewadin Casino on October 21st with her band The Blackhearts for a night of her well known hard rock classics! I think this is her first ever trip to the Sault area for a concert, but I may be wrong. No word yet on possible opening bands yet, but the show has an advertised 7:00 PM start time, and should be all ages. Tickets are $44.50 American, and they go on sale THIS MORNING at 8:00 AM! If you want your tickets, head to this location at 8:00 AM or later (go earlier just in case) and follow the links after clicking "Buy Tickets". Tickets should also be available by phone at 1-800-KEWADIN or through the actual box office at the casino itself. Check the above links for more details, along with SooToday's article on the show! It's awesome seeing Joan Jett come here for a show, she's one of the best rock guitarists of all time and she has a lot of hard rocking numbers in her lengthy repetoire, so she'll be a must see act this fall at Kewadin! Stay tuned for updates on this show as they come in!

Also for big new shows, this is an early scoop that I can now officially confirm after getting confirmation from promoters last night. New Jersey heavy metal legends Skid Row are coming back to the Sault area themselves, this time in Sault Ontario! Dismembertainment are bringing the multi-platinum selling band behind such classics as "18 & Life", "Youth Gone Wild", and "I Remember You" back to the Twin Saults for the first time in over two and a half years for a concert at The Roosevelt Hotel on November 9th! No strangers to the area, they've played at Kewadin Casino multiple times in the past, most recently in March 2009, but this will be Skid Row's first local concert (to my knowledge) on the Ontario side of the border. It'll also be their first local show with new drummer Rob Hammersmith, who replaced Dave Gara last year. Crank Sound Distribution will be on hand to handle the sound at the show, and tickets (limited to just 200 on sale) will likely be $40, which is worth it considering that you're gonna be seeing Skid Row right here in the Soo! Original lineup or not, their instantly recognizable classics and great reputation will be evident on the local stage, so definitely consider getting tickets when they officially go on sale, as they'll go fast!

Other details, like age limits, ticket availability, opening bands, and so forth are not out yet. Stay tuned to the SMS for more details as I hear them! I'm all for seeing Skid Row on November 9th, and I know that Dismembertainment will pull out all the stops to make this show and ticket sales go smoothly! I will say that, in terms of openers, it'd be cool if Sense of Truth returned from their hiatus to open at this show, seeing as they won the Battle of the Bands in 2008 to open for the aborted Skid Row concert at Runway Park that June. That's just personal speculation, but it would be fitting. When more word comes out on this concert, I'll let you guys know!

Now to some more news from a pair of solo guitarists named Mike in the Sault area, starting with Swayze Train guitarist Mike Libertoski's tech/death metal project Galactic Alignment! Mke has uploaded a song named "Hypernova" onto the band's Reverbnation page which will be deleted on Sunday, so it's a limited time offer! Check it out before it leaves, cause it's an awesome instrumental piece with a lot of extremely fast technical metal action! I hope Mike expands this project, cause Galactic Alignment are extremely promising! Wish I knew more about Swayze Train too, are they basically Electric Motor Fish with electric instruments, or something different? The membership mostly implies metal, but I'm not 100% positive. I'll find out at some point! The other new song is from Sault Ontario solo artist Mike Cliffe, who's uploaded a heavier new original song named "Hanging From The Earth" onto his online pages! Nice heavier riffs but with some nice guitar melodies that add some extra flavour. Not crushing, but the song has some heavy groove and bite to it, and Mike's talent is as visible as ever! Good stuff, check out that (and many more) songs at the above links, and here's "Hanging From The Earth" from his YouTube channel, accompanied by a slideshow which incorporates some of the computer screenshots from his music tracking program used with this song!



And finally, here is this week's classic video! With local punk trio Redundant rocking a couple different stages this weekend, I decided to tie in this week's video with drummer Rick White, who's better known locally as a guitarist, most recently in Frightlight! This video comes from their first ever live concert appearance, at the Coch's Corner Halloween Party on Halloween night in 2009, which was also their only concert with former Fitswitch drummer Larry Mousseau. The video in question is of Frightlight covering The Headstones' song "Cemetery", a track which no longer appears in their live setlists, and though the video wasn't great in quality, it has good audio! Rick handles most of the lead vocals here, and does a nice job too! The band sound pretty good, though the future addition of St. Mayhem would likely add to the guitar parts. Filmed by a concert attendee, Rick would upload the video onto his personal Facebook page the next day, and you can view the original video at http://facebook.com/video/video.php?v=192784251302.

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INTENDED! This is one of the few Frightlight videos not on YouTube, and it deserves a wider audience and recognition! With that said, check out Frightlight covering "Cemetery" from Halloween 2009 below!



That's all for now, but stay tuned for more news, our Alcoholic White Trash concert preview, and much more very soon! Thanks everyone!
