It's probably easiest if we go in chronological order for the concerts, so here's the first new show! According to their Myspace page, London Ontario death metal band Terrorhorse are scheduled to play a show on April 28th at The Oddfellows Hall with Upheaval of an Exorcist (I'm not suprised at that, but they are a great band!) This concert is scheduled to start at 8:00, but other than that, I know nothing about the show.
Other internet sources cite that Thunder Bay grindcore band Faceless Hulk are on tour with Terrorhorse during the stretch where the Sault show is taking place, but nowhere else does it suggest they'll be coming here, so I don't know. Also, there's no Facebook event page yet, and U.O.A.E. don't list it on their MySpace either. I'll call it a real concert from what I've seen, but I'll keep an eye out for any updates!
Now, here's the next show! On May 19th, Uxbridge Ontario metalcore band To Cherish are scheduled to play a concert at............The Arcadia Coffeehouse! Didn't see that coming, did you? Nice to see them booking some metal stuff there for a change! Support will come from Belleville hardcore rockers Amnesia Amnesia! Both bands do list this show on their respective MySpace pages, but The Arcadia's website doesn't list it yet, and there isn't a Facebook event page either. However, like the Terrorhouse show, I have enough info to report this show as I see it now, and I'll be sure to tell you guys any updates!Next up, we'll head back to The Oddfellows Hall, where there's another
death metal show pencilled in for June 11th! Your headliners will be Today I Caught The Plague, a progressive metal band from Ottawa! It's also scheduled to start at around 8:00! Suffice to say, I have absolutely nothing else on this show to mention. Other supporting bands aren't listed for the Sault date on their tour, and there's no Facebook event page for this show yet either! I have it in the concert listings, but if anything changes or is announced, you'll hear it here!
And finally, to close up this gigantic amount of local concerts, we have a grand total of TEN new shows for Sault Michigan, all from the same band! Michigan hard rockers Graveyard Tan have scheduled nine more shows at The Satisfied Frog throughout the year, all starting at around 8:00! The dates are: June 19-20, July 10, August 21-22, October 23-24, and December 11-12! You may have noticed that there's no show on July 11th, but there's a good reason for that! On July 11th, Graveyard Tan will perform in Sault Michigan at an American Legion Street Rally! Nice to see them with so many shows this year, check them out at their official MySpace page!Ok, now we still have lots of news! First off, in my internet
searching, I have came across a couple more bands that have a Sault Ste. Marie stop on an upcoming tour scheduled, but no booking here yet. The two bands are Toronto based hard rockers Brane (concert wanted for April 30th) and Winnipeg alternative metal band Domenica (concert wanted for July 4th, which is also the SMS's 2nd anniversary!) Both bands sound great, and it would be great to have them both playing a show here! So if you are interested in booking or helping out either band, let them know through their respective MySpace pages (just click their names)! The more metal, the better, right?
Next up, I have discovered another inactive local metal band! They were Caedis Omnis, a black metal group that hailed from both Sault Ontario and Echo Bay! Though there's no active songs on the profile, and it's been inactive since 2007, there's a biography, band logos, profile info, and a bunch of blog entries! Plus, you might know frontman Azathoth as Sault Area Wrestling superstar Kevyn Kross! So check Caedis Omnis out on MySpace, they're also now in the Local Metal Band Links to your left!
And now, here's some big updates on the Cattle Decapitation concert scheduled for April 12th at The Lock City Grand Theater! Ticket prices have been slashed by $5, so advance tickets are now $15, and they'll cost $20 at the door! There was a promoter shift for this show, and they're really in a crunch to get a lot of tickets sold very soon, or the concert may have to be moved or cancelled. So if you're a death metal fan, and you wanna help support the local scene, and maybe help make the case for even more big shows, then I recommend you get a ticket and head on to this one! And for all updated info and to confirm your attendance, head over to the Facebook event page for this concert!
And finally (yes, the post is wrapping up), Donna Hopper has posted a review and photo album from last night's Battle of the Bands on SooToday! There's a little write up on the battle itself and 10 photos from the performers, but a lot of it is about the rock opera, just in case you're wondering. But the pictures turned out great, way better than mine did! (I'LL HAVE BETTER PICTURES NEXT TIME, I PROMISE!) And of course, to read my review from the battle, check the post immediately below this one!This post has went on too long already, if you survived til the end of it, thanks for reading all the news! Remember, your next local metal show is Thursday at Coch's Corner, when Sense of Truth take the stage! That's all for tonight, keep it metal!
