Firstly, here's the latest news from the young Sault Michigan hard rock band once known as Abstract! As you may know, they changed their name to Tantrum earlier this year, but in the last couple of months, they quietly changed their name once again to Tantrym Tyme. A reason for the name change hasn't been announced, but I figure Tantrum by itself is already used by existing bands, so this might be for the best, but are the gratuitous Ys needed? Regardless, I've updated our band links on your right to reflect the new name! As well, the band have finally returned to being a quartet, as they've quietly added Quinton Jacobson as their new second guitarist/bassist, replacing Kyle Burton. As far as I can tell, Quinton (who's in the middle in this picture) was added to Tantrym Tyme's lineup in the spring, and given their ages, he fits in well with the guys so far from what I've noticed! Their concerts are still very hard to source and count given the lack of notice and the settings of the ones that do happen, but alongside a pile of new photos from a July performance on their Facebook page, they do have some new video footage from a recent performance! Uploaded to YouTube user The37533's channel on June 2nd, it's of what was then still Tantrum covering Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" and Pantera's "Cowboys From Hell" at an outdoor concert of some type!On these covers, Tantrym Tyme definitely seem to be growing as musicians, and the heavier material than the old Abstract videos is helping them, especially for Jacob Hotlen's singing, as he sounds much better for harsher vocals than he does clean yet (I wonder how he'll sound when his voice deepens though?) Note that Quinton's not on their Iron Maiden cover, but it's good to hear a fuller lineup for their Pantera rendition, and given their ages, they tackle both of these songs pretty well! It'll be interesting to see their development in the coming years, but for now, check out Tantrym Time's newest videos below!
Next up, here's another new video from the Anvil concert at The Canadian Nightclub on Wednesday, this time of local horror punk/metal quintet Frightlight's co-headlining set! 62nd Chamber Productions head/former local musician Boyd Rendell has uploaded a video that he and his crew filmed at the show onto his Vimeo page yesterday (though it's curiously not on his YouTube channel yet), and it's of Frightlight playing their original song "She Screams"! Featuring their full lineup (as Rick Styles was on guitar for this part of their set), the multiple camera angles help things for the quality, but the audio is somewhat scratchy, which Boyd blames on the lack of a mixer recording. Solid stuff though, and hopefully there's more to come, so check out this new Frightlight video below, and stay tuned later in the post for more of Boyd's work!
Thirdly today, here's our first live concert footage of new local grunge trio Haggith! Though an official proper live concert for them hasn't took place yet, and a bass player has yet to be obtained, the guys played two outdoor concert sets at a private party in Goulais River over the Canada Day weekend, and a video from the second day's performances is now online! Uploaded by YouTube user paperclipprojectX on Thursday, it's of Haggith playing their song "Yesterday's Frustrations" and it sounds pretty good! The camera work is solid and clear, and there's a nice grungier sound here, plus the guys seem to have a nice stage presence! This is a promising glimpse at what's to come from Haggith for sure, though I have to ask: Until they find a bassist, why can't Daniel Horton play bass? For now, check out Haggith's newest video below, and stay tuned for another new song of theirs in an upcoming post!
Finally for today, here's a special video that I recently came across! We've mentioned it on here before, but never like this. Back in December, I shared some videos by the former local hardcore band Barred 4 Life (featuring future Destroilet alumni) on the site, as uploaded (and likely filmed) by the aforementioned Boyd Rendell on his YouTube channel. Well, when I was browsing there to see if he posted the Frightlight video there too, I found this re-upload of Barred For Life's cover of The Dwarves' "Backseat of My Car" in 3D! That's right, a 3D local concert video, as it looks like Boyd Rendell converted the original video into 3D for a later upload in January of this year. It's in anaglyph 3D, so you'll need the red/blue 3D glasses to get the full experience (which I do have), and I have to say, he did a good job converting this! You can tell it's a conversion, but there's clear depth, and it gives this video a unique feel compared to the majority of other local concert videos out there. Almost makes me wanna get a 3D camera for SMS purposes (it's a future possibility), but huge kudos to Boyd for the work he did to give this old concert video an extra dimension! Check out The Dwarves (and guest singer Dave Stokes) in 3D below!That's all for today, but stay tuned for our Theatre of Night album review and more shortly! Thanks everyone!
