Fresh off their successful return to the stage this past weekend, local metal cover trio Caveman Morrison will hit Feedback on Saturday night for their third show with their new lineup! Apologies for the shorter notice, I've been dealing with exams over the last little while. This concert will be the band's first show at the former Foggy Notions in over a year, so this is a long time coming for them to hit the popular Queen Street bar, even with their return fresh in our minds! That said, the Saturday placement of it implies that frontman Tym Morrison won't be at The Service Grill on Saturday night, but I'll keep you guys posted if any new dates there pop up in the coming weeks. So if you wanna rock out with Caveman Morrison on Saturday night, be there at 10:00 PM, there's no announced cover charge (bring cash just in case though), and you must be 19 to attend. And remember, they are ONLY playing at Feedback on Saturday night, with tomorrow is reserved for a house music night with live DJs (click here for details), so keep that in mind. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! It's great to see Caveman Morrison keeping busy after their return, and if I can swing it, hopefully I can make it to Feedback on the weekend for the show! Hopefully you guys keep this show in mind for the weekend, and for a preview, here's Caveman Morrison's new lineup covering Judas Priest's "The Ripper" at The Rosie this past weekend!
Now to the remainder of the new shows, and they come courtesy of The Rapids Lounge at Kewadin Casino in Sault Michigan, as they've updated their entertainment page to reflect scheduled bands at Kewadin's bar through March! Luckily, 10 of the confirmed dates through the first quarter of 2012 involve some form of hard rock, but if you check out the concert listings, you'll also notice scheduled dates from the aforementioned Crossroads and local country singer Paul Perry. There are also some notable absences from the early 2012 Kewadin schedule, such as Monkey's Uncle and Powerslug, who were both frequent sights at The Rapids Lounge last year. I wonder if that means anything towards either band's status? With no actively updated pages, this could be hard to prove, but I'll keep an eye out for news on their next steps! Now to the newly announced metal & hard rock concerts at The Rapids Lounge in 2012, so here's what you need to know!
First up, local hard rock quintet Swayze Train have two more concert weekends lined up for 2012, including new concerts on January 7th & 8th (one weekend after their Rapids Lounge debut over New Years' Weekend) and on February 24th & 25th! We haven't heard a whole lot from Swayze Train over the fall, and they have yet to publically confirm any Kewadin Casino appearances on their Facebook page, but you know that this talented quintet featuring Clownsack, Electric Motor Fish, Slackjawed Rats, and Insipid Brutality alumni will be sure to deliver the goods at their upcoming dates! I imagine all four of their new 2012 concerts will have 10:00 PM-ish start times, no cover charge, and 21+ age limits. Check the above links for more details! It sounds like Swayze Train have some great concerts lined up for 2012, and hopefully as more details come out, the anticipation will grow for this very promising local band! Before all that though, keep their shows at the end of the month in mind, and as more news from Swazye Train comes in, I'll be sure to have it here!
Also next year at The Rapids Lounge is the local debut of new hard rock trio Trail's End! The new band from Splitshot & ex-Nixxon Dixxon bandmates Chris Hubbard, Kyle Beaumont, and Jake LaLonde will make their live debut (barring another show announcement) on the weekend of January 20th and 21st, followed by another weekend at Kewadin Casino on February 17th & 18th. Like with Swayze Train, Trail's End have not officially announced these shows yet, but Kewadin Casino itself is a good source, and I imagine that once Splitshot part ways at the end of the year, they'll devote more time into Trail's End updates. The same 10:00 PM start time, no cover charge, and 21+ age limit should be expected at these new concerts, so check the above links for more details on these shows! It's great to see Trail's End getting off to a quick start next year, and hopefully Chris, Kyle, and Jake continue their high promise for years to come in Trail's End, so help get them started on the right foot on January 20th and onward! Stay tuned for more Trail's End news as it all comes in!
Finally for the new hard rock shows at Kewadin next year is the return of Cheboygan classic metal trio Peril to The Rapids Lounge! Last seen in the area in September, the band featuring former Bad Side drummer Brooks Elliott are lined up for just one weekend at our local Kewadin Casino so far in 2012, that being on March 30th and 31st, but it will be nice to see them back in town after 6 months away! Once again, Peril haven't publically confirmed these shows yet, but a 2012 concert schedule of some type should be coming onto their online pages, so it's only a matter of time! Again, I'd assume that both of Peril's shows in March will have 21+ age limits, 10:00 PM start times, and no cover charges, as is standard at The Rapids Lounge. Check the above links for more details! It's been too long to see Peril and their classic metal onslaught locally, but hopefully they'll remind Saultites how much they rock when they come back to the area in the spring! Get more on these and all other upcoming announced Rapids Lounge concerts at the above links!That's all for today, but stay tuned for more by the weekend, including new videos and much more! Thanks everyone!
