Eight days after a successful short notice show at Foggy Notions, As It Stands are coming back THIS SATURDAY for another solo concert of hardcore mayhem! Apologies for the relatively late notice, the show was only just announced earlier today. Sounds mostly similar to last weekend's show, though this time, I can confirm that there will definitely not be a cover charge, and drummer John Mignacca confirmed on the Facebook event page that band members will likely do a hip-hop set when they "get their buzz on." If this does go down, it will likely be similar to the material posted on John's solo project's Facebook page, which is strictly rap, and one song features AIS frontman Justin Pregent (a.k.a. Nadj) on vocals as well! As for the metal, As It Stands will have lots of moshably brutal hardcore in store for fans on Saturday, so don't forget about that! The show starts at 11:00 PM, and you must be 19 to enter. Check the above links for more details! Sounds like fun, hopefully a big crowd turns out! Also, for reference sake, remember that Foggy's is not far from the first pitch at this year's Buskerfest, which will be outside Smokey's Patio just seconds down the road, so you can head to Foggy's right afterwards! For a preview, here's As It Stands playing "Conception" from a show in December!
Now to the previously announced concerts, and first, it's tomorrow's 27th Roosevelt Hotel metal night! For the fifth time in nine weeks, we have just two scheduled bands, but both are exceedingly talented, so here's what you should know! In their record tying 12th Thursday metal night appearance, your headliners are local melodic death metal quintet The Bear Hunters, whose brutal metal sounds will be sure to cause a frenzy tomorrow night! Opening the show are local hardcore quartet Changing Waves, who'll also have some highly entertaining originals and covers ready to rock The Rosie with tomorrow night! Both bands are on the rise, you'll wanna check them out tomorrow! As always, there will be a 19+ age limit, there's no cover charge, and everything should start at around 10:00 PM. Check the above links or click here for more details! Dismembertainment keep their frequent schedule of local metal bands up this week with another quality lineup, as both The Bear Hunters and Changing Waves have tons of promise and brutality to go around! Remember to head to The Rosie tomorrow night, and for a preview, here's The Bear Hunters playing "Casualties Of War" at The Rosie last month!
Next up, local classic hard rock cover band Full Circle return to The Nicolet Tavern this weekend for a second straight weekend of rocking covers and good times! Unlike last weekend's late notice shows, these were listed on the now-deleted Turner Up Facebook group, so we've had lots of advance word! And don't worry, I replaced the group with the old Turner Up Facebook page, so we can keep Full Circle in our band links (at least for now.) So look for Full Circle to keep their momentum going with some great classic and newer hard rock covers this weekend, in what should be a fun weekend for this talented quartet! There's no announced cover charge, you must be 19 to attend, and both the Friday and Saturday shows start at 10:00 PM. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! Sounds like a solid weekend from Full Circle, hopefully these shows are as successful as last weekend's! For a preview, click here and move to 13:20 of the video to see a minute of Full Circle's cover of Heart's "Alone" at Rotaryfest!
Now to the other big attraction this weekend, as Hollow are reuniting for one weekend only! The early 2000s local metal band who made some big waves in the scene way back when are joining forces once again for shows on Friday & Saturday night! Their lineup will include former Carbon Black singer Travis Sharpe on vocals, Caveman Morrison's own Tym Morrison on lead guitar, The Southern Fried Band's Dan Beaupre on bass, and longtime bandmates Terry Eaton & Vinnie Milosevic (last seen in The Dicky Swift Band) on rhythm guitar and drums, which should make for a great band once again this weekend! For this special one weekend only reunion, the band will play at two venues, hitting The Rockstar Bar on Friday night, and Bossy's Pub & Grub on Pim Street on Saturday night. The show at Bossy's (formerly Smack Daddy's) was originally scheduled for The Canadian Nightclub before the massive flooding there last month took place, after which the show was moved to Bossy's, which is literally seconds down the road! All's well though, and I hear Bossy's is very nice, so remember that if you're planning on going Saturday! Both shows start at 10:30 PM, there's no announced cover charge for either night (bring cash though), and you must be 19 to attend either concert. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page!It should be awesome seeing Hollow back, especially if you were a fan of theirs back in the day, or of Carbon Black or Metal Militia! I wasn't around for their heyday (too young), but I won't miss the reunion! In all likelihood, I'll be there on Saturday at Bossy's, and I hope to see you guys there! No videos to preview them with, but check out old Hollow material (and Carbon Black songs with Travis on vocals) at this location!
Finally, we move to Saturday afternoon, where a Hollow member has a solo show at Service Grill Pizza! Obviously, it's Tym Morrison, whose own weekly concert arrangement at the Korah Road pizza joint continues on Saturday for some more acoustic hard rock classics! However, Tym's only scheduled to be playing the 3:00-7:00 PM set on Saturday, due to the Hollow show at Bossy's, so if you prefer your Tym Morrison unplugged shows in the evening, you're out of luck this week. Still, Tym's proficient and prolific brand of solo material is great no matter what time of day it is! There's no cover charge on Saturday, and given that he is playing in the afternoon, it's an all ages show. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page, or click here for details on his Hilton Beach show on Sunday! Tym's got a lot on his plate this weekend, especially on Saturday, but he's talented enough to handle it, and he'll have some great songs in store for you guys at the Service Grill on Saturday, so head on out! For a preview, here's Tym & former Half Past singer Luke LeBlanc covering Extreme's "More Than Words" in 2008!That's all for tonight, but stay tuned for Sault Michigan weekend concert previews tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
