Multiplatinum hard rock legend Joan Jett is coming to Sault Michigan TOMORROW NIGHT! The female rock pioneer known for hits like "Bad Reputation", "I Love Rock N' Roll", and "I Hate Myself For Loving You" will take the stage at The Dreammakers Theater at Kewadin Casino with her band The Blackhearts for a night of rock classics! To my knowledge, this is her first time playing a show in the twin Saults, but if memory serves me correctly, she headlined at Cornfest on St. Joseph Island years back, so she hasn't been too far from the area! I haven't heard a ton of buzz for the show compared to some other major Kewadin concerts, but rest assured, Joan still rocks as much as she did in the 1980s, and you won't wanna miss her tomorrow night! As far as I can tell, there's no opening band. Tickets are $44.50 American for this show, and they are still available, but if you're buying general admission tickets, only standing room only is currently available. Click here to buy tickets online, visit the Kewadin box office in person, or call 1-800-KEWADIN to get hooked up! This show should be all ages, and everything starts tomorrow night at 7:00 PM. For more details, check the above links!It's always good to see some hard rock superstars at Kewadin Casino, and Joan Jett fits the bill nicely! She's made her mark with tons of memorable hits dating back to The Runaways, and good times should be guaranteed tomorrow night! She's aged really well too, so the songs shouldn't sound too different than back in the day! Hopefully you guys can make it to the show, stay tuned for fallout from it as it comes out, and here's Joan's music video for her cover of Sweet's "A.C.D.C."!
Now, if you're in the mood for more rock n' roll at Kewadin after Joan Jett wraps things up (or if you're at the casino on Saturday), good news, as Splitshot will return to The Rapids Lounge tomorrow & Saturday night themselves! These shows are new additions to their concert schedule, following local Southern rockers The Hixx's exit from this weekend's dates, so don't forget about the shorter notice new concerts! Also, these are the first Splitshot shows I've been able to confirm featuring new drummer Jake LaLonde (ex-Nixxon Dixxon), but I believe he played at least one or two weekends with them before I found out he replaced Tony Hubbard last week. Either way, it's cool to see him back in a local band! They'll be on at around 9:00 PM or later tomorrow & Saturday, so you Joan Jett fans (of age) can stop right in after she's done! There's no cover charge, and you must be 21 to attend. Check the above links for more details! This sounds like another good weekend for Splitshot, so don't miss their hard rock cover attack if you can help it! No videos to preview their set with though, but hopefully soon, so go check them out!
Let's close this post with new videos, and first, we have new videos from the Napalm Death concert at Feedback on Saturday night! Once again, these are from attendee & local guitarist Neno Jovanovic, and he's uploaded three more videos from the show onto his YouTube channel, including another from Napalm Death's set! This time around, the video features the British grindcore legends playing SIX songs, almost all from their 1987 debut album "Scum", and in order, they played "Scum", "Life?", "Control", "M.A.D.", and "You Suffer" (the Guinness World Record holder for the world's shortest song... blink & you'll miss it!), followed by their cover of The Dead Kennedys' "Nazi Punks Fuck Off"! With only one of these songs exceeding 2 minutes in length, we get a lot of bang for our buck in this video, so definitely check out Napalm Death revisiting songs from their first album live in Sault Ontario below! Also, here's an interesting fact: No current member of Napalm Death played on the "Scum" album. They still brutalize when playing these songs though!
And finally, Neno also provided us with two new videos of the local openers, including out first video glimpse at Shit Liver's set! First though, he uploaded a video of The Bear Hunters playing their original song "Render This Void", which apparently capped off their set, and they did it in style for sure! Nice and heavy, as you'd expect, but I prefer "Bloodthirst" from the last video just for song preferences. Click here to check it out! The other new video is of Shit Liver's co-headlining set, and in this video, they covered Macabre's "Unabomber"! About as grimy as you'd expect, but it's some of the best quality audio I've heard to go with their music, and they appear to be playing as well as we've come to expect from them! It'd be interesting to see video of the new songs that the local bands reportedly played on Saturday, and of course, video footage of Calgary death metal band Wake's set, but I don't know if Neno filmed anything else. Great stuff all around though, so check the above links for the rest of the currently uploaded Napalm Death footage, and here's Shit Liver covering Macabre from this past Saturday night!That's all for today, but stay tuned for Sault Ontario weekend concert previews either later today or early tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
