First for this preview post is the 41st Roosevelt Hotel metal night, taking place TONIGHT! After a 6 week hiatus, the Thursday tradition at the Rosie is back, and it will be headlined by the return of As It Stands! Though they returned to the stage in Espanola last month, this will be the prominent local hardcore band's first appearance at a local concert in over five months, and you know they'll have lots of high impact originals from their forthcoming EP in store tonight! Opening the concert will be fellow local hardcore rockers Changing Waves, themselves returning to action for the first time since early September! Will the rust be melted away by their metal onslaught? Time will tell, but we've sure missed them! Opening tonight's festivities will be local melodic death metal quintet The Bear Hunters, who'll bring their brutal stylings to the stage for the first time in the new year, in their record 18th Rosie metal night appearance!There's few heavier ways to lead off a concert, so be sure to be at The Rosie tomorrow night by 10:30 PM to avoid missing any of the bands! There's no cover charge, and you must be 19 to attend. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! There's lots of great local metal to be had, and I hope to see you guys there, with a review to hopefully follow tomorrow! Check the above links for more details, and for a preview, here's As It Stands playing their original "Conception" in 2010!
Also over the next few days is the return of Turner Up to the local concert stage! The reborn new version of the popular classic rock quintet will make their first appearance on a local stage in six weeks when they hit The Nicolet Tavern for the first time TOMORROW NIGHT & SATURDAY NIGHT! The new Turner Up doesn't gig nearly as frequently as the old version did, so if you've missed them, don't skimp out on their concerts this weekend! As usual for their concerts, they'll be on at around 10:00 PM both tomorrow & Saturday night, you must be 19 to attend, and there's no announced cover charge. For more details, visit the new Facebook event page! It's great to see Turner Up back on the local stage, and though 4/5ths of Turner Up have been seen in the interim with Havadder, it's always nice to see their heavier side emerge! Hopefully this weekend's shows are huge hits, and for a preview, here's the old Turner Up covering Guns N' Roses' "Mr. Brownstone" last year!
We'll close with two concerts taking place on Saturday only, starting with Tym Morrison's third acoustic solo concert at Bossy's Pub N' Grub! His latest weekly concert arrangement appears to have started well, as the Caveman Morrison frontman will be back to rock the former Smack Daddy's on Saturday afternoon with a wide array of hard rock and metal covers! If you've been missing Caveman Morrison, are overdue for an unplugged solo show like this, or you're in the mood for some great music in the Pim Street area, don't let this show pass you by! Admission should be free (aside from food/drink purchases), the show starts at 2:00 PM on Saturday, and I doubt there'll be an age limit, knowing the timeframe. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! Sounds like a good time to me, and after way too long of a break from Tym's solo concerts, I'm fairly positive I'll be in attendance for this one! I hope to see you guys there for some great acoustic metal covers, and for a preview, here's Tym and a special guest covering Extreme's "More Than Words" at The Big Cheese from a few years ago!
And finally, Saturday night brings us the return of Sneaky Pete to the local concert stage! This talented hard rock quartet will make their first local concert appearance in almost three months on Saturday night at The Rockstar Bar, which they haven't played in almost five months either, so it's been a while in both ways for their return! Though this is a one night only appearance (they're not playing tomorrow night), they should have sets full of hard rock classics to entertain their fans with and, as the Facebook event page says, rock away your winter blues! This concert will be a 19+ event, there will likely be a cover charge of around $5, and a 10:30 PM start time is listed. For more details, check the above links! This sounds like a great concert, and it's nice to finally see Sneaky Pete back rocking the local scene after a few months away from public performances! If all goes well, I hope to finally be there to check them out on Saturday night, so hopefully I'll see you guys there! For a preview, here's Sneaky Pete's mashup of a couple of metal classics from Ozzy Osbourne and Judas Priest!That's all for now, but stay tuned in our next post for Sault Michigan weekend concert previews and some more news! Thanks everyone!
