First, a few big updates to this Sunday's Grady/Domenica concert at The Canadian Nightclub! A new band have been added to the lineup as openers, and they are local rock band Wishbone! Though not metal, they do feature Route 69 drummer Glen Thomas in their lineup, and have a solid rock sound to them that should mesh well at this show! Wishbone also opened for Grady at their show here last April, and it's nice to see them back for their return!Also announced are the admission prices! You can get advance tickets at the Knights Inn front desk now for $10! If you wait until the show itself, you will have to pay a $15 cover. Everything starts at 9:00 PM that night now as well. Good thing the poster was unveiled, so all the details have came forward! Want more information on this show? Visit one of the THREE event pages for it! Click here for the event page set up by Grady, here for the one set up by Glen Thomas, and here for the one set up by The Canadian! Between the three, you'll get all the info you'll need! I believe I'll be at this show, I need more local music in my system, especially when I'm gonna miss so much of it over Halloween (damn my luck!)
Next up, a bit more details for the two metal concerts taking place on Halloween night! First, the third band has been announced for the Halloween party at Coch's Corner! They are called "Glamoween", and are referred to on the Facebook event page as a "wicked glamrock tribute"! No idea about these guys otherwise, can anyone help (especially if they're local?) Glamoween will join Frightlight (featuring ex-Fitswitch members) & Half Past (formerly Fingerbone) for this exciting show!
Meanwhile, that same night, Sense of Truth will play at the re-opening of Foggy Notions, and I can now confirm that the opening band for this show, a Rage Against The Machine tribute band named Renegades, are actually the now-renamed Dysfunkshunal Kemistry! I had a feeling it was the same band, but I wasn't prepared to outright say so and risk looking stupid! Thanks to Steve Myers from Sense of Truth for the help! Get more details for this show on Facebook! As I hear more about these two concerts, I'll be sure to share it with you guys! I just wish I'd be in town for them!
Now for an update to November 2nd's Papa Roach concert at Kewadin Casino! I had already mentioned that Oklahoma pop rock band Aranda would be opening at this concert, but they won't be alone! Boston pop rockers Stilrize will also be performing that night! Not metal, but I can see how they'd appeal to Papa Roach's current audience, and fans of Aranda should find something to like. Thanks to the guys at Rock 101 for mentioning Stilrize on the radio, I wouldn't have known they were playing without them! Remember, this concert is at The Dreammakers Theater on November 2nd at 7:00 PM, tickets are available for $26.50 at 1-800-KEWADIN, at this location, and at the GraphixTwo box office on Great Northern Road! And stay tuned to the SMS on Tuesday, I'll launch the Papa Roach banner and logo to count down the week before this show!
And finally for tonight, a pair of concert cancellations. Sault Michigan's own Bad Side have cancelled their December shows at Kewadin Casino, as well as their shows next month in St. Ignace. No reason was given, aside from a re-assurance on Facebook that it's not because of a medical issue. Now, I may be reading way too much into everything, but look at this: Besides the show cancellations, the band posted the statement "Thank You & Good Night!" on their Facebook page, and they say CDs will be available "while supplies last" (Are no new ones being pressed?) This, plus the messages thanking us for the support over the last 5 years, and I'm worried that they might be breaking up or going on hiatus? I sure hope not, cause they're one of my favourite Sault Michigan bands! I'll keep you guys posted if I hear more, hope for the best!That's all for tonight, stay tuned tomorrow evening for a new post where I'll preview this weekend's metal concerts, including shows featuring Grady, Tym Morrison, and 40 Sons! Thanks everyone!
Thanks for the plug Rob. Wishbone thanks you. Should be blast. ;-)
