Ace Frehley Concert Preview!!!

It's time for another major concert preview! Seems like only yesterday that Papa Roach were at Kewadin Casino, and now, another big metal concert! So, here's what you guys need to know!

Original Kiss lead guitarist Ace Frehley is coming to Sault Michigan! The Spaceman himself will rock The Dreammakers Theater at Kewadin Casino tomorrow night! Now I know most of you will probably best know Ace for his career with Kiss, where he composed such notable songs as "Cold Gin", "Shock Me", and "Parasite", but he's also had an active career since! In his solo project, he's released songs like "New York Groove", "Into The Night", and "Rock Soldiers"! He released a brand new album, "Anomaly", in September, and should play a good segment of songs from that tomorrow night as well! Interesting timing for this show too, coming barely a month before Kiss (with Tommy Thayer donning the Spaceman costume) play at The Essar Center, it'll be interesting to see if Ace's show gets a high turnout as well! I wonder if those of you who demanded Kiss come here would be interested in Ace solo?

Concert details in a minute, but first, I've gotta show you something. I would have mentioned this yesterday, but it knew it had to go with the preview. On Tuesday, Bad Side guitarist Jason Mapes interviewed Ace Frehley for a segment on Classic Rock: The Bear (97.9 FM), and it's a very good piece! Jason definitely seems awed to talk to Ace, and he mentions his deep respect for him as a musical influence. They discuss Ace's current tour, his new album, what to expect at tomorrow's concert, his absence from touring in recent years, his influence on today's musicians, plus his opinions on Kiss' current state, and more! Jason posted this on Youtube, and it's a great listen. I was worried it'd mostly be talking about Kiss, but I was happily surprised! Check it out immediately below!



So here's the details for this concert: It will be at Kewadin Casino tomorrow night at 7:00 PM! There are no opening acts (Lita Ford was originally announced to open, but dropped off for a Queensryche tour.) Tickets are still available, for $28.50 (MUCH lower than the Kiss concert in December!) You can get them at 1-800-KEWADIN, at this location, and at the GraphixTwo box office on Great Northern Road! Should be a good show, hopefully nothing bad happens (it is on Friday the 13th, after all), and if I hear anything come out of it worth mentioning, you'll find it here! I like Ace's solo stuff, his voice isn't nearly as good as Paul Stanley's, but he gets the job done! I can't make this show, but hopefully you can! For a preview, here's a brand new song from Ace's new album, "Outer Space"!



That's all for today, more news to come, including my review of Stillbroke's "Never Enough", any news on "Woods IV: The Green Album" that I can find, and next weekend, there will likely be a review of Tym Morrison's show at The Bottom's Up Lounge, which I'm seriously thinking about attending! Stay tuned everyone!
