Speaking of Sault Michigan, I have some LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS, all of which involve local hard rockers Free Refill! They've scheduled five (maybe six) concerts in the Sault Michigan area through September, so here's what you need to know! First, they'll be playing at The Portage Beach Party on July 11th on (where else), Portage Avenue! Then, on July 25th, they'll be among the performers at this year's Superior Whitefish Festival in Bay Mills! After that, they will be playing on August 7th at the annual Sidewalk Sales on Ashmun Street!
Then on August 15th, Free Refill will be performing at this year's Sugar Island Festival, which is located on 3 Mile Road in Sugar Island! And lastly, they're on the lineup for this year's Oktoberfest, which will be held on Portage Avenue on September 26th! They also list a possible show for July 4th as part of Fourth of July celebrations in Trout Lake, but that date is pending, so I won't list it until I know if it's confirmed or not. All of the above shows start at 8:00 PM! It's nice to see Free Refill lining up all these new shows over the next few months, and hopefully they do a great job! For more details on these shows, and for any info on Free Refill you may want, head to their official MySpace page and their official website!
Now that we're up to date on metal concerts in Sault Michigan, it turns out there's a couple taking place there this weekend, so as usual, here are your local concert previews! Michigan hard rock band Graveyard Tan are returning to The Satisfied Frog for a pair of shows this weekend! Both of these concerts will take place at 8:00 PM! To my knowledge, these are Graveyard Tan's first Sault area shows since January! Graveyard Tan are a pretty good band with some catchy songs, check them out on MySpace to hear some of their originals! If you can, go check them out tonight or tomorrow, and if not, they'll be back next month! And for a preview, here's a live video of Graveyard Tan performing their original song "Can't Break The Chains"!
Next up, I was searching the internet, and I came across what might be another local metal show coming up, but I don't have enough info to confirm it yet. According to their official MySpace page, Toronto death metal band Machine of Macabre have a date listed for The Oddfellows Hall on August 9th with Sudbury's own Upheaval of an Exorcist. You may remember both of these bands from Jeremy Hannah's birthday show in February! Well, I'm not gonna list this show just yet, because I know next to nothing else about it. Upheaval of an Exorcist don't list this show on their MySpace, and I'm not finding anything else that confirms this as happening. But when and if I do, I'll let you guys know!
In other news, another band has been added to Garden of Bedlam's CD release show at The Canadian on July 3rd! And it's none other than local metal band Necropolis! Though not confirmed on the Facebook event page yet, Necropolis bassist Nolan Rainville did announce it on Facebook, so there's my source! Nice to see these guys on a totally metal show for a change, they should put on another great performance come July 3rd! Also featuring Sense of Truth, this show will be at 11:00 PM, and will feature Garden of Bedlam performing new originals and songs on their debut EP, which is out now! Get more information on this show at the official Facebook event page!And finally, I have a video clip from a recent local metal show! Not a lot of people tend to put clips up from recent shows as much lately, but I did find one video! Check out this clip of Stillbroke from the Marianas Trench concert this past Monday!
