We'll start in Sault Michigan, or should I say, the area surrounding it. Take a drive out to Barbeau, Michigan tomorrow night and head to The Cozy Corners Tavern Bar & Grill (you may recognize this venue for previously hosting Nixxon Dixxon sets) to check out Riot! By Night! Yes, the local hard rockers continue their string of local tour dates that are just outside of town tomorrow at 9:00 PM! No cover charge is listed, there actually isn't much to speak of about this show, but it is definitely going on! Get more info on Riot! By Night at this location! Should be a good set, I wish I could show you guys how the band sound, but if you want a bit of a partial preview, check out some acoustic solo performances by frontman Ryan Harrison at his YouTube channel!
Meanwhile, Kewadin Casino welcomes local hard rockers Monkey's Uncle (formerly Jager and Bad Monkey) this weekend for two shows at The Rapids Lounge! Now as you'll remember from my 100% Sault Michigan post last week, these shows were only announced on Kewadin Casino's entertainment page, and I only found out about it last week from searching for news on the July festival. For whatever reason, Monkey's Uncle haven't listed scheduled shows on their MySpace page since they were still known as Jager, and honestly, the entertainment page on Kewadin Casino wasn't previously a site I tended to look at often, so I missed reporting on at least a handful of Monkey's Uncle shows at Kewadin, and possibly elsewhere. So, to put it simply, though the band haven't confirmed the shows, Kewadin has, so there's your proof! Both shows (tomorrow night and Saturday night) have no cover charge, and a start time of around 9:00 PM (as cited on Kewadin's calendar page.) Though I really wish the band would update their MySpace to reflect future concert dates, it is nice seeing them playing this weekend, they've always impressed me! Click here for more info on the band! Sadly, they've pulled down their old video clips from MySpace, so I can't show you any of them for preview purposes, but their MySpace has audio recordings!
Now onto the five hard rock/metal shows in Sault Ontario this weekend, and curiously, there's none downtown, despite the amount! We'll begin at The Roosevelt Hotel, when local metal cover band Caveman Morrison return to the popular bar on Korah Road tomorrow night and Saturday night! There is no announced cover charge, things should start at around 10:00 PM. So if you want some heavy metal madness, head on out to The Rosie this weekend! It's been a few weeks since their last shows, so if you've been missing Caveman Morrison, now's the weekend to head on out to see them! As always, expect a great night of your favourite metal and hard rock covers, I recommend going! To get full details and to confirm your attendance, click here! Of course, get more info on the band themselves at their official website! For a preview, here's a clip of Caveman Morrison covering Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" from a January show at Foggy Notions!
Same nights, different spot now, as we come to the newly opened Vibe Lounge on Goulais Avenue, where they welcome Turner Up for their first non-private concert sets at the new venue! With two nights full of rock covers in store, and the heaviest stuff waiting in set 3, there'll be something for everyone this weekend! And of course, this could be your first glimpse at The Vibe Lounge, from the same crew that brought you Nite-Life Dance Club! Both shows start at 10:30 PM, there is no announced cover charge, get full details and confirm your attendance at this location! And as always, learn and find out more on Turner Up themselves at their official Facebook group! Though it's always fun to see Turner Up live for the music, going to the newly opened Vibe Lounge must be attractive in ways also! But of coue, music is the main attraction, and here's a preview of it: Turner Up covering Def Leppard's "Hysteria" from a show at The Canadian Nightclub!
...speaking of The Canadian Nightclub, we come to the final metal show of the weekend, and likely the biggest! If you're craving to hear some Motley Crue hits in advance of Vince Neil's set here at the Kewadin Casino festival in July, this is your best bet! Crued: The World's #1 Motley Crue Tribute Band will be in Sault Ontario on Saturday night for a big time concert! The Toronto based band will bring an authentic Motley Crue-style sound and look to The Canadian this Saturday, featuring "Saints of Los Angeles" era costumes and extremely good versions of Motley Crue's biggest hits! And it's not just a concert either, Crued are bringing along Alleykatz Studio to do piercings and tattoos at the concert! How about that? There will also be a contest for the craziest mullet, so do your hair for the occasion! Tickets are $5 in advance at The Canadian, or $8 at the door, it's 19+, and it all starts at 10:00 PM on Saturday! This should be an awesome concert, if I was in town, I'd very likely go check it out! Hopefully there's a huge turnout! There are two event pages for this concert: One made by the band, and one made by The Canadian, click on those links to get full concert details! And of course, get more details on Crued themselves at their MySpace page!Great Motley Crue sound that these guys are possessed with, here's some video proof from a 2008 show in Toronto!
Closing today's post is more information on that Derelict/Beyond Within/Thekillingfield show that will be taking place on May 6th! There is FINALLY a Facebook event page online for it, so I can now share extra details for this concert! For one, there will be local openers, and they're the best fit possible: Bring The Fallen, in their first show since Algoma Hope4Haiti! Wall to wall death metal is ensured now, so this will be bound to tear some faces off! Also, ticket prices have been announced, and they will be $6 in advance (tickets are not on sale yet) and $8 at the door! Not a bad price for this much metal! A 10:00 start time is listed on Facebook, but if things start earlier, I wouldn't be surprised, seeing as there will be four bands playing. More details as they come in, get ready to mosh!I know I promised Lion Ride news today, but it would get buried amongst all today's updates, so I promise it will be in my next update, which will come this weekend at some point! Now I'm going out of town for a family vacation tomorrow, but I will have computer access, and I will update the SMS whenever possible! I will miss the Crued, Derelict, SBD, Blind Baby, and Destroilet shows though, sadly, so PLEASE hit one or all of those shows, make them all major successes! More news coming soon, stay tuned for more!
