Hey Tym Morrison fans, now you have more opportunities to see him this weekend, as the Caveman Morrison frontman has announced a new solo concert for THIS SATURDAY! In an odd setting (and time) for his solo acoustic shows, Tym will hit Service Grill Pizza on Korah Road (just seconds from The Roosevelt Hotel) on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 PM! I apologize for the short notice, Tym only just announced this show yesterday. This is unfamiliar for one of his solo shows, but there is precedent for it, as he has played restaurants of varying sizes in the past. The early start time would suggest a special event too, but nothing has been stated if there is. The show runs from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, there's no cover charge, and given the setting and time, I imagine it has to be all ages. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! Sounds like a fun time, hopefully a good crowd turns out! Also for Saturday news, Tym's scheduled show at The Zone Roadhouse in Goulais River has been moved from this Friday to this Saturday as well, so Tym will pull double duty with two solo shows on the same day! No reason was given for the date change, but Tym confirmed it on the event page & via e-mail to attendees. So if you want to enjoy some entertaining unplugged hard rock covers, you know which places to go on Saturday!
Next up, there's apparently been a lineup change with a new local metal band, as it looks like local death metal band Bring The Misery have parted ways with guitarist Dan Souliere. Now there hasn't been a public statement about him leaving, but he was quietly removed from the band's lineup on their Facebook page's info section. That alone implies something happened, but I haven't heard what. If this is in fact true, then Dan is the second original member of Bring The Misery to leave the band in the last few weeks, following Kory Derasp earlier in the month. It's disappointing to hear that he left, I've liked Dan's guitar work dating back to the AtrophiA days, but hopefully he pops up in a new band sooner or later! No word has been made on a replacement, if at all, but the band do have a concert scheduled for this month that I'll announce on here as soon as I get some more confirmation on it. Will they stay as a four piece? Time will tell, I'll keep you posted as I hear more from Bring The Misery!
Thirdly today, here's some assorted news from Woods of Ypres from the last little while! Firstly, the final part of bassist Shane Madden's tour blog on MetalSucks is now online, and if you liked his well versed and detailed thoughts on their past "Pain & Piss" tour dates, you'll like this final installment! Very interesting, click here to check it out, and search for "Ypres" on the MetalSucks search field to find the first three parts! As well, their concert in Charlotte, North Carolina one week ago was reviewed by Jenny Lou Bement on Vibes: The Music Blog yesterday, and you check it out at this location! She highly praised their sound and atmosphere, but found the vocals inconsistent, even suggesting a nu metal sound at times. That baffles me, I can't even picture that, but hey, perceptions are an individual thing. She gave more praise to openers Towering Pyre, but it's still a positive review, check it out at the above links! And finally, I wanted to copy and paste a status (and following comment) that Woods of Ypres put on their Facebook page on Sunday: "WOODS OF YPRES is NOT opening for the OPETH / KATATONIA tour, nor the ENSLAVED, GHOST, ALCEST tour this fall......yet." Let the speculation run wild? I'll keep you posted!
Now to some more news from local solo artist Mike Haggith, all relating to his online store on Reverbnation! Mike has posted a bunch of new items to buy there, including another one of his back albums! The new album up for purchase is one of his 2009 solo albums, "The Curse Is The Cure", though with the song '599 Reasons To Say "Fuck The Past"' intentionally not posted. I imagine he wasn't happy with the song, which doesn't surprise me, as the discography entry for this album has a lot of derisive statements about it, even going so far as Mike ignoring it's existence at one point! I can't speak for the quality of it yet, but click here to preview tracks or buy it. The album is just $4.14 for an mp3 download, $7.11 on CD, or you can get individual songs & ringtones too. Hopefully he posts some more albums on his store! Also new on his store is official merchandise, including five different t-shirts and a travel mug! The shirts, which vary in colour, feature original designs not seen on Mike Haggith albums, including two with taglines implying that his music is the best or most awesome music "you'll never listen to."Nice designs, though kinda "urban" in feel! Click here to see the shirts (and mug) and make purchases! Shirts range from $13.13 to $22.00, and the travel mug is $13. Stay tuned for more Mike Haggith news as it comes in!
And finally, here is this week's classic video! With Garden of Bedlam finally returning to the local stage on Friday night, it was a no brainer to post a new "old" video of them in action, so here's what you should know! Most Garden of Bedlam videos that I've seen online are on YouTube in some form, but one that didn't make it comes from the August 2008 edition of Hempfest in Ophir, which was during the first few months of Garden of Bedlam's existence. Bassist Evan Belleau has a few videos from their set on his YouTube channel, but he posted a couple on their Facebook group only, including this one of the band covering "Unsung" by Helmet! Filmed by an attendee, the video comes through nicely, though it is kinda far from the stage. Evan's really loud in the mix, but it sounds nice, especially Buzz, his singing is crystal clear! The original video can be seen at http://facebook.com/video/video.php?v=35691635931&oid=10668648337 & I mean no harm with this upload! I want a bigger audience to see it, and all of their 2008 Hempfest videos should be on YouTube eventually! NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INTENDED!! So with that said, check out Garden of Bedlam covering "Unsung"!That's all for now, but stay tuned for weekend concert previews (including The Dayglo Abortions) either tonight or early tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
