According to updated Hope4Haiti lineup listings on the Facebook event page, local hard rockers Sense of Truth will be playing at Coch's Corner on Saturday night! The band have not officially confirmed this, but if it's on the official page, there must be truth to it! Joining them will be fellow locals The Fury, who'll deliver more of their unique brand of music (No genre defining from me) this Saturday! For Sense of Truth, it will be their first show since last month's show at Coch's with Ultraviolence, and it surprised me to see them listed, especially with EP recording in full swing! If this is definitely a go, I'll have to see if I can make it down on Saturday (still need to work out my own plans for Saturday for where I'm going.) Meanwhile, at The Algonquin Pub & Sports Bar (which IS hosting bands despite what I said earlier), local hard rock cover band Turner Up will be there rocking out Saturday night! For them, it will be their first official concert (not counting jam nights) since the Bon Soo shows at The Nicolet Tavern last weekend (Again, I'm sorry for missing those!)
Also, two personnel changes to go over: Firstly, it appears Out Of The Mouth of Babes (who'll be rocking Nite-Life Dance & Comedy Club on Saturday) have replaced frontman Josh McNally with Matt Maccarone, who you may recognize from defunct local screamo bands like A Fall From Innocence and Stay Seventeen! No word on how he sounds in this heavier setting, the only audio that's been released so far was from Josh's tenure with the band. We'll get our first glimpse in three days! Thanks to drummer John Mignacca for the update! Also, the Friday lineup at Foggy Notions has been completely changed. It was three local DJs before, but now it features Nebraska Arms with a band (or bands) to be announced. I think Nebraska Arms fit Foggy's better than DJs, but it sucks that they're out, hopefully nothing bad happened!Remember, for full details on Algoma Hope4Haiti visit this location! All proceeds go to Haiti relief, tickets are $10 at all participating venues and other local establishments, all of which you can find at the link I just provided! This event depends on you guys to make it a success, hopefully you'll be somewhere Friday or Saturday! I'm thinking I'll start at Nite-Life, check out Out Of The Mouth of Babes and a few Bring The Fallen songs, then head to Coch's for Sense of Truth, that's my tentative plan, we'll see though! Full preview post tomorrow!
Next up, I have came across another band that would like to play in Sault Ontario this year! New Brunswick thrash metal band Rusted Dawn are looking to play a show here on April 26th as part of their upcoming Canadian tour! A band member was asking about if they could get help with a booking here on a post on The705Scene forums, nice to see them reaching out to help get booked! If you want a taste of their sound, click here to check out their MySpace page, and I gotta say, I really like what I hear! You know how often we get an awesome out of town thrash band here? Not damn nearly enough, that's how often! I'd be at this show, no fucking questions asked! If anyone wants to book these guys, which I do recommend, e-mail struggles999@hotmail.com to set up a booking!
Now let's update you all on Woods of Ypres, because there's a bunch of new stuff to talk about from them! Firstly, remember when I discussed their appearance in the newest issue of Exclaim! Magazine? Well the interview I mentioned had more than was posted on their site, as David has posted even more than the magazine could fit online! Click here for more, including more insights on their independent status & the green qualities of "The Green Album", how autobiographical David's lyrics are, his work with Necramyth & Musk Ox, the new album's irony & dimensions, the band's musical influences, the lyrics of "I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery", the band's frequent lineup changes & infrequent touring, and their musical evolution! Very comprehensive and a great read! Also, the band are now selling a limited edition t-shirt through The End Records that's essentially the artwork for "Woods IV" in full t-shirt form, which you can see in the image on your left! The shirts are LIMITED EDITION, and are available in sizes S-2XL for $16.99 at this location! Buy before it's too late!
And finally, though this band isn't really "metal/hard rock" per say, it's only fair for me to mention this, as they do play a few heavier songs live: There's videos on YouTube of local classic rock cover band That's Chester, including performances of songs by AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Sammy Hagar, and Queen! Now they mostly cover non-metal stuff, like INXS, The Tragically Hip, Molly Hatchet, and The Kinks, but they're still a very talented band! Also nice to see Greg from Stiffler's Mom fully fronting a band too! Reminder that they play often at various local venues, including this weekend at The Rockstar Bar as part of Algoma Hope4Haiti, so head on out there for some great classic rock covers, and maybe something heavy! They're not the only non-metal band that plays metal songs in town, if I come across any other metal covers from bands like that online, I'll share them here! So check out this clip of That's Chester playing "The Number Of The Beast"!That's all for today, tomorrow's post will be a double hit of two big topics: We're going to preview Algoma Hope4Haiti, and we're gonna close voting on this month's poll and open next month's poll! It'll be a big one, so you'll wanna stay tuned for that! Remember to vote for your favourite local metal album of 2009 above, you only have one day left! Tomorrow's poll will be about, once again, the best "something" in 2009. You'll see when we get to it! Stay tuned for all that tomorrow!
