Caveman Morrison are returning to the stage THIS WEEKEND for two more shows at The Roosevelt Hotel! I apologize for not having these on here sooner, but they somehow have slipped past my radar since the Facebook event page was launched almost 2 months ago, so I better get the word out A.S.A.P.! Previously listed as a one night only gig on Friday, this talented local cover trio will instead make their first Rosie appearances in three weeks on Friday and Saturday for a standard weekend set of metal and hard rock covers! Both shows will have 9:30 PM start times and neither has an announced cover charge, but you must be 19 to attend them. Check the above links for more details, and I apologize again for having these so late on the site! It's good to see Caveman Morrison back at The Rosie this weekend, and hopefully they continue their recent frequent streak of local concerts beyond this Friday & Saturday with even more hard rocking shows! Keep these new dates in mind for your weekend concert-hopping to help begin May in style!
The next new show is coming up next weekend, and it's the long awaited return of Garden of Bedlam to The Rockstar Bar! Last seen at the Ypres Metal Fest last month, this show on May 12th (one week from Saturday) serves as the rescheduled date following the cancellation of their planned March 10th Rockstar Bar gig following the back injury and pneumonia that frontman Buzz got hit with a couple months back. As such, this will be Garden of Bedlam's first Rockstar Bar gig in eleven months and their first headlining show in over four months, and it'll be good to see them back for a full night's worth of their hard hitting originals! Like their past Rockstar Bar concerts, there will not be an opening band. Doors open at 9:00 PM with an 11:00 PM start time next Saturday, you must be 19 to attend, and there will be a $5 cover charge. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page! This sounds like an awesome concert, and if you're craving more of one of Sault Ste. Marie's biggest metal bands, you'll wanna circle this date on your calendars for next weekend! Stay tuned for any updates as they roll in!
Finally in new concerts, Muskegon hard rock quintet RedStone Riot are coming back to Sault Michigan this summer! After 11 months away from the local stage, the new band featuring former Saultites and Elipzis alumni Rachel Kiger & Ryan Harrison will play just their second weekend set locally at The Corner Pub Bar & Grill on July 13th and 14th! These dates, along with a number of Muskegon-area concerts, were revealed on their newly redesigned official website this morning. I believe both of these dates should have 10:00 PM-ish start times, 21+ age limits, and no cover charge, but check the above links for more details! As you may remember, this is the band that was formed after Rachel & Ryan moved to Muskegon last year, and they also feature final Elipzis drummer Wally David and guitarists Tony Hulings (Wally's ex-One Past Mars bandmate) & Brock Warber (formerly of Kill Tomorrow), so there's definitely talent present! I have yet to hear media of RedStone Riot, but if Elipzis were any indication, this current band will rock the house with some great modern hard rock originals & covers come mid-July, so don't miss these concerts, and keep it locked to the SMS for any updates!
We'll close this post with updates to a pair of upcoming Sault Ontario concerts, starting with THIS FRIDAY'S outdoor metal show at The Roberta Bondar Pavilion as part of National Youth Arts Week! A new band has been added to the lineup, that being Desbarats death metal quartet For All That Is Lost, who will be making their first local concert appearance (along with most of the other bands) since their Humane Society Battle of the Bands set last month. They're a solid addition to bolster this brutal death metal lineup, but with that said, scheduled headliners As It Stands have pulled out of the show, as revealed by promoter/Bear Hunters guitarist Mitch Sirie this morning on the Facebook event page. The reason is due to an injury suffered by a band member, and though specifics weren't elaborated on, hopefully whoever's hurt gets well soon! The lineup now features Shit Liver as the listed headliners with The Bear Hunters, The Valentine's Day Massacre, and F.A.T.I.L. as openers, but the official lineup could change depending on scheduling concerns. A new fifth band could be added to replace As It Stands as well, so if you or your band are interested, message Mitch at this location A.S.A.P.!Also to confirm for this Friday's show, it will be FREE & ALL AGES, and the 4:00-10:00 PM runtime has been finalized. For more details, check the above links and this new Sault Star article promoting the metal show's addition to National Youth Arts Week! It's short, but given the concert's later notice, it's still solid press! That said, it lists the start time as 5:00 PM, credits The Valentine's Day Massacre as their acronym only, forgets a word when mentioning "For All Is Lost", and doesn't even mention The Bear Hunters, but hey, at least this show is getting some wider press! I hope to be there on Friday, and stay tuned for more updates on this show as they roll in!
Finally for today, here's the latest updates for Frightlight's next concert one week from Thursday at The Roosevelt Hotel! Whether it's officially the 44th Rosie metal night or not isn't known yet, but if it is, it'll be the biggest since The Dayglo Abortions came in June, as there are now 5 bands lined up for this show, including two new local bands! One is actually local hard rock/punk trio Pools of Booze in just their second live concert, following their debut in March at The Canadian. You may remember that Pools of Booze are essentially a heavier variant of T-Rex Manning with bassist Bill "Orthae" Bennett on lead vocals in place of J.D. Pearce, and while J.D. will be focusing on rocking with Frightlight as Johnny Pints that night, he will join his other bandmates for a couple songs as T-Rex Manning during their set! The other new band is local punk trio Redundant, and they should have some solid originals from their recent recording sessions ready to rock with next Thursday! The other update for this show, which features headlining Toronto alternative/punk bands Die Mannequin & Dearly Beloved on their Danceland Tour, is that tickets are now on sale through both The Rad Zone at The Wellington Square Mall & through J.D. personally, though more ticket locations are forthcoming.Check the Facebook event page for more details! This is shaping up to be a huge punk concert with some metal touches, and make sure to get your tickets A.S.A.P.! Stay tuned for updates on this show as they come in, and that's probably all for today, so keep an eye out for more news and notes very soon, including this month's "Where Are The New Albums?" post tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
