First up, local hard rock trio Powerslug will return to the stage TONIGHT & TOMORROW NIGHT at The Corner Pub Bar & Grill for a second straight concert weekend! I apologize for the short notice, but as usual from any of their post-name change concerts, I only heard about these just recently, namely last night on drummer Bob Helsten's personal Facebook page. I still say advertising these in advance on an actual band page would help turnouts and spread the word better, but who knows. Still, Powerslug are talented and have lots of great covers in store, so these latest Corner Pub stops should entertain! They should be on at around 10:00 PM tonight & tomorrow, you must be 21 to attend, there's no announced cover charge, and it's unknown to me if they'll be outside or inside for these gigs. Check the above links for more details! Powerslug need more online info & media, but these shows should be entertaining, so if you're up for chugging your mug with Powerslug, The Corner Pub is the place to be! For a preview, check out this unembeddable video of Powerslug in action earlier this year!
Also this weekend is the return of Kinross hard rockers Banned to the area concert stage, as two weeks after making their first stop in Moran, the Traynors and company will return to The Cozy Corners Tavern & Grill in Barbeau, Michigan for a one night only stop TOMORROW NIGHT! This will be their first Cozy Corners gig in 6 weeks, and knowing their road-trip friendly ways throughout the Eastern U.P., who knows when they'll be back, so Barbeau locals and those nearby may wanna take notice! Apologies again for the short notice, as Banned only announced this show on their Facebook page yesterday. Banned will be on at 9:00 PM tomorrow night, you must be 21 to attend, and there's no announced cover charge. For more details, check the above links! It's always good to see Banned back for some Sault-area concerts, and they have a lot of heavier and varied covers and originals in store, so keep their show in Barbeau tomorrow night in the back of your heads for your weekend plans! I also have a new show of theirs to cover soon on our next news post relating to a local music festival, but for now, let's preview their next show with their original song "Plaid Girl" live in Gould City in June!
Finally in new shows, we'll break from the weekend previews briefly to cover the next local concert dates from Marquette hard rock quartet Nudge, who are returning to The Satisfied Frog in Sault Michigan next Friday & Saturday! After making no local stops in July, this hard touring U.P. cover band will be sure to deliver some great hard rock hits to their Sault Ste. Marie fans next weekend, and I wouldn't miss them if I were you! Notably, this will be their first local concert weekend with new drummer Scott Kusmirek behind the kit, as he replaced Jed Thibeault in the band last month. Amazing how much drummer instability that Nudge have had lately, with four drummers (Eric Schlumpf, Tim Rousseau, Jed, and Scott) manning the Nudge kit in the past 8 months, but hopefully Scott can last for the long term! Also to note: Scott will join Nudge frontman Danzo McCracken for two acoustic solo sets at The Frog on Wednesday and Thursday prior to their full concerts, so if some unplugged tunes are your thing, keep these dates in mind! Admission should be free, you must be 21 to attend, and a 10:00 PM start time is advertised. For more information, visit the official Facebook event page! Nudge always impress with their hard hitting covers sets, so don't sleep on their shows here next weekend, and stay tuned for more on them as we inch closer to next weekend!
Finally for tonight, here's the other concert previews for this weekend, and the only ones we had advance word on, as Sault Michigan hard rockers Monkey's Uncle are returning to the Kewadin Casino in Sault Ste. Marie TONIGHT & TOMORROW NIGHT! One of the hardest bands to find sources on for future concerts, I know they're playing at The Rapids Lounge at the Sault Kewadin only thanks to Kewadin Casino's entertainment page, but I know they've played shows elsewhere this year as well, such as at least one show at The Bird in March (which I apologize profusely for missing!) Still, Henry, Ron, and company should have some solid hard rock covers & originals in store for Kewadin revellers tonight and tomorrow, so keep these dates in mind when deliberating your concert plans this weekend! I'd expect 10:00 PM start times, no cover charge, and 21+ age limits at these shows as well, and check the above links for more details! Though they've been somewhat of an online enigma since not long after their name changes, Monkey's Uncle have plenty of talent and great songs to offer, and this weekend's Sault Kewadin shows should be no different! For a preview, here's Monkey's Uncle covering Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog" a few years back!That's all for now, but stay tuned for my Jamestown Massacre concert review later tonight! Thanks everyone!
