New Local Band Page, A Cancellation, And More!

It's news time!!! And what better way to start than with a brand new local band page! You may remember a couple weeks ago when I mentioned that a new local hard rock band, Quite Frankly, were playing at The Dragon Boat Festival. Well, they have launched their official Facebook group finally! Not much to speak of yet, but there's a bit of band info and lots of photos from their recent shows! Go check them out!

They also feature members of lots of other local bands, including ex-Devastation of the Heavens guitarist Joe Delbasso, ex-Faithless Sin guitarist Frank La Tassa, former No Arrow and Fingerbone bassist Harley Syrette, and Adam Pettenuzzo from Children of the Dawn on drums! As well, they feature a female lead singer, Jack Alisat, which should be really interesting to hear! Once I hear more on upcoming Quite Frankly news and updates, you'll find it here!

Next up, we have a show cancellation! You might remember my reporting that Winnipeg metal bands Dreadnaut and Domenica would be playing at Foggy Notions on Friday night. Well, they won't be playing after all. Foggy's won't even be open yet by then, so who knows what happened with that. But when Foggy's actually does re-open, you'll hear it here! To be fair, I hadn't heard much about this "show", but both bands had continued to list the show on their respective MySpace pages, so I suppose I just assumed. Oh well, hopefully they actually will come here one day! And thanks to Buzz from Garden of Bedlam for the scoop!

Next up, here's some updates from local hard rockers Fingerbone! Now, we haven't seen them live since January, but it looks like they're on the right track for a return to the stage! Since you last saw them, frontman John Barber was replaced by Luke LeBlanc, while bassist Charles Gibson was replaced by Quite Frankly's Harley Syrette, who also left and was replaced by existing guitarist Arthur Lacasse! So Fingerbone are now a four piece, and they've posted some recent videos of some "drunken jamming" on Facebook, including versions of System of a Down and Alice in Chains songs! I can't direct link Facebook vids on the SMS (no HTML to do so), but you can check out the videos, and all Fingerbone news and updates as they come in, at their official Facebook page!

Let's leave it at that for today, I promise more news very soon! Remember, out second anniversary is in just FIVE days, and I've got lots of exciting things lined up! If you're at the Garden of Bedlam concert on July 3rd, hit me up at Midnight or later to get your hands on a free CD, as the FREE CD GIVEAWAY will begin at that show! Thanks everyone, stay tuned for more news and info!
