It's time for another new news post for your Monday afternoon, so what's in this post? Fallout from a recent event with some hard rock representation, new videos from each side of the border, and to lead off, LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS concerning a pair of rescheduled dates in the E.U.P., so without any further adieu, here's what you should know!
Traverse City, Michigan classic metal trio
Peril will return to The Rapids Lounge at
the Sault Michigan Kewadin Casino for shows on Friday, August 31st and Saturday, September 1st! The shows were announced on Friday in a comment reply on
Peril's Facebook page, and are not on
Kewadin's entertainment page at press time. This fan favourite group will be making their first appearances at the Soo Kewadin branch in just over a month, but these shows actually appear to be re-schedulings, as they were announced in the comment thread for the cancellation of this past Friday & Saturday's shows there! We covered them on the site when first announced, but I admittedly forgot to note their cancellation (due to unspecified "scheduling conflicts") during last week's concert previews, which I do apologize for. That said, the shows will take place in four months' time on their new dates, so don't miss Peril at the turn of September! Expect 9:00 PM start times, 21+ age limits, and no cover charge. See the above links for more details!
Next up, here's some new videos, starting with a clip from Sault Ontario/St. Catharine's grindcore trio
Shit Liver's current Hitting the Fan tour of Canada, as posted to
their Facebook page on Sunday! Filmed while on the road to Winnipeg (where they play
tonight), this 20 second video features frontman Josh Penno reflecting on how good it is to be back on tour, before the guys abruptly revive a bridge-crossing tradition that you may recall from their prior national tour run. I won't spoil it, but it's a fun shock to the system, so check it out below, and stay tuned for more!
Also today, here's a new video from Sault Michigan classical metal project
Theatre of Night's Facebook page, as shared from keyboardist Craig Harrison's personal Facebook page yesterday! Described as a "late night jam session", this features guitarist Steve Giles and an uncredited bassist and drummer in the midst of an instrumental performance (Craig isn't visibly playing, as he filmed the video.) The drummer looks like Erik Sales from their Christmas tour, but the bassist definitely isn't Scott Andringa. In any event, the performance is solid, and might this be leading to more live band work from Theatre of Night? Give it a look below!
Finally, I wanted to acknowledge some recent press coverage on the first annual
Twin City Tattoo Convention at
The Tech's gymnasium on Saturday night, which as you may recall, featured local hard rock singer/guitarist
Tym Morrison as one of the musical performers! While we did cover this on the site when first announced last month, I forgot to include it with our previews of this past weekend's shows of Tym's, which I profusely apologize for. I guarantee this won't happen next year if there's hard rock acts playing at year #2! In fact, Tym was the only musical performer from this weekend photographed for Riley Smith's
Sault Online article on the convention, and you'll get a nice write-up on the convention, it's motivations and aims, and what was seen and expected across the weekend.
SooToday's Darren Taylor was also on hand with photos of his own, and while Bearded Lounge frontman Greg Simpson is pictured (with ink) in one shot, no musical performance pictures made the cut.
It looks like the Twin City Tattoo Convention was a hit for it's debut installment, and while I myself don't have any tattoos at present, there are some great designs and artists out there that deserve the attention, so hopefully this comes back in 2019! Maybe a local comic book convention isn't too far off now? That's all for today, but stay tuned for this month's Defunct Local Band Profile tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
