New local metal quartet Late & Loud have announced a short notice concert TOMORROW NIGHT at Foggy Notions! The news was broken on the band's Facebook page, though it should be noted that this was originally advertised as a Sunday show on a now deleted posting. No major details have been stated on this show, though a Monday nighter does seem odd when it's not a weekly arrangement. If my memory serves me correctly, this will be their first official concert outside of open mic performances at The Outback, unless some unadvertised shows slipped me by. A 9:00 PM start time is listed, there's no advertised cover charge, and you must be 19 to attend. Remember, this is the metal band featuring former Losing Ground frontman Jonathan Tiberi, noted local guitarist Brendan Christie, and ex-Glass Statues members Benn Garside and Josh Hatherly, and they play a mix of classic covers and some original material. Should be an interesting set from them tomorrow night, head out to Foggy's if you want to check them out!

Meanwhile, a new Roosevelt Hotel metal night concert has been announced, and oddly enough, it's a week before the Woods of Ypres show on March 10th (more on that shortly.) An explanation for the two straight weeks isn't out, but I have it on good authority that the punk nights at The Rosie will also go for two straight weeks themselves on the 17th and 24th, with the old bi-weekly schedule for both returning afterwards. With that said, there will be metal for all on March 3rd, and two bands have been announced! One is As It Stands, who've gotta be itching to get back on stage following the cancellation of their all ages show this past weekend. At least this time around, there's more advance notice for you metalcore fans to get down to The Rosie on March 3rd to mosh out! The other confirmed band is Desbarats death metal quintet For All That Is Lost, who you may remember as the band As It Stands replaced on February 3rd following their last minute drop out of that metal night concert! Their brand of metal will be a new sight locally, but they'll impress in this trip to the Soo on March 3rd! A third band has yet to be confirmed at present. As usual, this has a 9:30 PM start time, no cover, and it's 19+. For more details, visit the Rosie metal nights' Facebook page! Sounds like a good time, I'll have updates on this show as they come in!
Now for updates to three upcoming metal concerts, and we'll go in chronological order for these updates. Firstly, experimental rock trio SBD have dropped out of the February 26th RedD Monkey-headlined "Swamp Donkey Romp" concert at Foggy Notions, reportedly due to drummer Shane Triplett's commitments out of town. With that said, there are new bands on this show, including (believe it or not) No Arrow! Yes, the inactive grunge band featuring SBD frontman Dann Pichette (thanks to him for much of this info) will reunite for their first public show in years at this February 26th concert! Dann tells me that drummer Joe Falco and Murder Playground-era bassist Jason Bourcier will join in for the show as well, which sounds very cool! The Facebook event page hasn't been updated to confirm their addition, but Dann asked them to add No Arrow in a comment, so there's some proof for now! There is more lineup news though, as local bass rock trio The Fury will also be on the lineup, providing another unique flavour to this concert! A fourth band named "Sounds From The Greenroom" are also listed for this show, but I'd be lying if I said I knew anything about them. If you guys have any info on them, if they're even really a band, let me know at robertfigures@hotmail.com! Stay tuned for updates on this show as they come in!
Next, here's some updates concerning the March 10th Roosevelt Hotel metal night headlined by Woods of Ypres! Firstly, this will be the first metal night (to my knowledge) to have a cover charge, as it will cost $3 to get in. This may seem odd, but for a band of Woods of Ypres' calibre, the money does make sense! With that said, it looks like both opening bands are now confirmed, so here's who to expect! One is local melodic death metal quintet The Bear Hunters, fresh off rocking The Rosie this past Thursday! They'll fit well as openers, so look for their brutal attack of originals and covers on March 10th before Woods of Ypres take the stage! Now when the original openers statement was made on Friday morning on the Rosie metal nights' Facebook page, the second openers weren't known. Well, I can now confirm that the second openers are local death metal rockers State of Misery, as confirmed on their Facebook page! Sounds good to me, these two bands will fit just fine as openers for this very big show on March 10th! I'll absolutely see you guys there!
Finally for tonight, here's the latest news on the massive all ages show on April 9th at The Oddfellows Hall! A twelfth and final band has been confirmed for this show, that being young local hardcore quartet Changing Waves! I figured they'd be the replacement if Bring The Fallen did drop out, but luckily, they're on either way! And no, I haven't heard anything definitive either way on Bring The Fallen's status, but if something comes out, I will absolutely have it! My final major note today on this show is that the order for this show has now been confirmed, with each band playing for 45 minutes or less, factoring set-up time in. From 3:00 PM-midnight, the bands will play in this order (barring a change): The Tenagens, Changing Waves, State of Misery, Sativa Rose, Shit Liver, SBD, The Bear Hunters, WinkStinger, Bring The Fallen(?), As It Stands, The Fury, and RedD Monkey. For full current details, visit the official Facebook event page! This show sounds awesome, esepcially given the volume and talent of the involved bands! So much newer young talent in this town, it's very nice to see! Check the above links for more details!That's all for tonight, but I have more news and notes to share in the next couple days, though I can't promise a post tomorrow due to homework commitments. I'll be back soon though, stay tuned!
