Meatplow, the Sault Ontario hard rock band I've profiled on the SMS in recent months, have posted a new video that unveils a bunch of photos and info about the band! It's nice to get more info on these guys! It is accompanied by The Stone Temple Pilots' song that the band are named after, I wonder if it's an indication of their sound? Aside from that, it's a picture slideshow, followed by credits at the end, including the band's members first names (Dennis, Phil, and Mike; I'm fairly certain of last names, but won't make guesses I can't back up), and it says that their first album will be titled "World Disease"! Hey, if all goes according to plan, I'll be there to pick it up! I'd embed the video here, but Facebook annoyingly doesn't have this feature, so click here to check it out! And before you say I missed a second video on their page, it's the same as the first, just missing the credits. Now we wait for new material! (And excuse my first posts about Meatplow tonight, I made a couple dumb mistakes. I'm only human!)
Next up, Energy Rock Radio's official relaunch is TOMORROW! Yes, the local internet hard rock radio station is now all fancy and new, with a bunch of new features, especially on their website! Besides the new layout and design, the site now features a request form for song requests! As well, Energy Rock Radio now has airplay 24/7 (ensuring that even without DJs, you'll get music!), a new on-air staff lineup, 20% off deals for merchandise in February, and lots more! Owner Ryan McQueen also announced that Energy Rock Radio will be broadcasting LIVE from Foggy Notions on February 27th during the Garden of Bedlam/Papa Fogals Chair concert! Very slick look, and of course, the radio portion is as good as ever! Click here to check out the new site, listen to ERR live, and lots more! I know I don't talk about Energy Rock Radio as much as I should, but I'll work on that! Take a listen!
Remember when I talked about Sault Michigan's own Mikey Bishop and the bands he's drummed in? Well, it looks like his current band are making their way up here! Mikey wrote on the SMS' MySpace page's wall tonight and mentioned that Summon, the Lansing black metal band he's currently drumming for, will be in Sault Michigan THIS WEEK to drop off some Summon CDs at Grooves Music! He hopes to meet with some local bands this week to possibly get local openers for a Summon concert in the area! He's hoping to get two local bands to open, and he says another touring metal band will join Summon at this show! Day, venue, and information unknown at present. Anyone interested in playing at a black metal concert in Sault Michigan, or helping Mikey get a medium sized venue for it? E-mail Mikey at his MySpace page to show your interest! And of course, head to Grooves Music to pick up a Summon CD, black metal fans will find a lot to like! I'll keep you guys posted as I hear more!
Two more stories to cap this post with: One, Stillbroke's concert February 11th in Toronto has been cancelled due to "unforseen circumstances". The event page was deleted and everything. Sucks to see it called off, I bet it'd have been a big show! The other story is that SooToday's own Donna Hopper conducted a professional photo shoot with Lion Ride last month! She remarked that this is the first photo shoot that she's done in a proper photo studio, so the lighting inside was an issue, but the photos turned out real nice! 27 shots have been posted on her photography page on Facebook, all in black and white, ranging from band poses to solo shots! Nice work, can't wait to see more! Click here to check out the full album!That's all for now, but tomorrow, it's CD review time! We'll finally get to the review of Detroit's new album "Brace For Impact"! Also look out for my profiles of two bands (The Sexual Vigilantes and Papa Fogals Chair) from out of town with local members, a review of Wednesday's Sykotyk Rampage-featured Battle of the Bands, and much more! Thanks everyone, CD review TOMORROW!
