Garden of Bedlam CD Release Show Updates, LOCAL CONCERT ALERT, And More News!!!

Greetings, metal fans! I just found out last night a TON of updates for Garden of Bedlam's upcoming CD release show on July 3rd at The Canadian, as the band has launched a Facebook event page for it! So here's what you need to know!

First of all, the supporting band has been announced, and it's fellow local hard rockers Sense of Truth! I heard from Sense of Truth frontman Cory Murchison that they might sound and look a bit different at this show, so we'll have to see what's new with that! Tickets are (as previously mentioned here) $5 in advance or $8 at the door, and once they're made available, you can pick them up at CD Plus, The Rad Zone, and Forsaken Tattoos!

Doors will open at 9:00 PM, with Sense of Truth kicking things off at 11:00 PM that night! There will be copies of Garden of Bedlam's new self-titled EP for sale, as well as more band merchandise! Sadly, this show will indeed be 19+ (it is at a bar, after all.) BUT NEVER FEAR! Garden of Bedlam are looking at setting up an all ages show on July 5th at The Canadian Legion on Great Northern Road (that's across from A&W), at around 7:00 PM that day. It's not confirmed yet, but once it is, you'll hear it here!

You can bet your ass that I will be at this concert, it sounds amazing! It's been too long since I last saw both Garden of Bedlam and Sense of Truth as it is! Remember to check the Facebook event page and here for all the news and updates you need to know for this show, and maybe the all ages one too! Oh, and thanks to the guys at GoB for plugging me and the SMS in the event description! I appreciate it!

Alright, what next? Well, I do have a LOCAL CONCERT ALERT, so how about that? Remember a couple of days ago when I mentioned that new local hardcore band It's Just Me (formerly known as Loyalty Is Dead) had some listed shows I wasn't too sure about? Well, I think I have enough info to list them on here! The August 3rd show with Callahan seems to be a go, especially when the band was writing on their wall expressing their happiness about playing with them, so it's now in the concert listings!

As well, It's Just Me will be joining Callahan as support for their show two days later in Windsor, at The Blind Dog! That show is also now in the Out of Town Listings! They're also playing a private party with Callahan in Sudbury on August 4th, but I won't list it cause it's private and invite only. Once I hear more on all of these shows, (cause I don't know that much yet) you'll hear it all here!

Next up, there's another band that wants to play a show here! Thunder Bay metal band This Audience is looking for a show in Sault Ontario around July 8th or 9th, and they apparently really need the show cause if they don't, they'll have to drive 16 hours to Toronto from Thunder Bay for the next show. Anyone wanna help these guys out? They're pretty good, check them out on MySpace! Hopefully they can get a show here!

And finally, just to let everyone know, I'm closing the current poll a little after midnight tonight, as the month of voting will be up tomorrow! The results look pretty clear, but if you haven't voted yet, get your choices in while you still can! And tomorrow, we'll investigate to see what is the genre that's be the most successful for local metal shows! I'll also launch a new poll tomorrow, so stay tuned for that! Thanks everyone, and remember, our second anniversary is in just 17 DAYS!
