LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS (Tym Morrison And Rob Speers & Jesse Cook), Plus Weekend Concert Previews!!

With the first concert weekend of April 2018 drawing closer, here's most of this weekend's concert previews! Due to the amount, we're holding our preview of Saturday night's Don't Look Back show in Sault Michigan for our next news post, coming tomorrow or Saturday morning, so don't worry, it's coming! Now, here's what you need to know on the Ontario side of the border, starting with LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS, some on SHORT NOTICE! (Updated on Friday at 4:52 PM)

Elements bandmates Rob Speers & Jesse Cook will join forces for another acoustic concert TOMORROW NIGHT at Room 21! Apologies for the short notice, this show was only announced via it's official Facebook event page earlier today. Three weeks removed from their most recent joint concert appearance at The Rockstar Bar, this will be their first trip to the concert venue above Low & Slow since February, with event advertising crediting them under the Wyld Stallions name again (with Bill & Ted 3 rumblings, why not?) This show should see more acoustic hard rock and funk/blues classics for fans TOMORROW, and if you haven't seen Rob & Jesse in this setting, look for guest appearances (possibly including Daniel Horton again) and more encouragement of fan involvement. Note that the event page openly admits that they are up against "a certain other show", likely meaning tomorrow's Shit Liver concert, but they do encourage fans to head west and finish the night at Room 21 after that show wraps up!

A 10:30 PM start time is in effect for this show from Rob & Jesse (or The Wyld Stallions, or The Kariokeheads), while this is a 19+ event, and there are no announced cover charges. Visit the above links for more details, and here's Rob & Jesse live at The Rockstar Bar!

Next up, and with a new month fully in force, let's add prolific hard rock solo artist Tym Morrison's slate of Gliss Steak & Seafood matinee concerts to our listings, including shows there TOMORROW & SATURDAY, and then on April 13th-14th, 20th-21st, and 27th-28th! Again, apologies for the short notice on this weekend's shows, remember that we take Tym's Gliss bookings one month at a time on here due to the long-term nature of it's scheduling. These shows join an already busy month for the former Caveman Morrison frontman, who just played a pair of matinees at Mark's Breakfast Plus and will return there thrice more in a few weeks, while his Thursday open mic nights at The Canadian are also marching on, though at press time, there had not been an announced continuation of his bi-monthly Roadhouse shows. Tym's talented and fan friendly brand of hard rock covers should attract another good audience at Gliss throughout the month!

Also, in case you heard reports of a kitchen fire at the restaurant proper, don't worry, they are back open! This month's Gliss shows (including those TOMORROW & SATURDAY NIGHT) are 6:00 PM matinee events with no announced cover charges or age limits, but remember that this isn't a traditional nightclub venue, it's a sit-down restaurant. Visit the official Facebook event page for more details, and here's Tym live!

Moving to previously announced concerts, we'll next look at the homecoming of local/St. Catharine's grindcore trio Shit Liver as they kick off their Canadian tour here TOMORROW NIGHT at The Rednecks Saloon! Originally announced to take place at The Algonquin Pub, the venue was quietly changed in recent weeks to The Speak Easy, but the show was forced to relocate Friday afternoon due to venue staffing issues, forcing the late notice move to Rednecks. Kudos to them for stepping up and helping out with thhe local release concert for Shit Liver's new studio album "Hitting the Fan"! This will be Josh, Mike, and Matt's first show here since the "Trading Faces" release show last fall, so if you're hoping for a vinyl record copy or related merchandise, here's your first non-mail order chance! Of course, Shit Liver's brutal and crusty death metal onslaught is the headline attraction, but a surprisingly varied night of music will see them be joined by punk trio Stegadeth and indie/hard rock quartet Id Iota (replacing a drummer-less Vol.), so there should be a little something for everyone to rock out to at Rednecks, whether you're buying a record or not!

Promoted by Six, Two, Oh., tomorrow's show has an $8 cover charge, 9:00 PM start time, and (sadly) 19+ age limit, while copies of "Hitting the Fan" will run you $20. It's great to have Shit Liver back home after half a year away, and with good reviews already coming in (ours soon to come...), hopefully there's a huge response to help launch their release tour! Visit the official Facebook event page for more details, and here's Shit Liver live!



Finally for today's previews, local AC/DC fans will not want to bypass this one, as Who Made Who (the definitive tribute to AC/DC) will return to the local stage TOMORROW NIGHT at The Rockstar Bar! About a year removed from their last show here, this fan favourite tribute band will be back for another night of high voltage rock 'n roll, and if you haven't seen their past local appearances here dating back to the early 2010s, then prepare yourself for a faithful looking and sounding experience from Who Made Who tomorrow! This one night only event has an advertised 10:30 PM start time, you must be 19 years of age or older to attend, and admission is $10 in advance (tickets are available at The Algonquin Hotel's front desk) or $15 at the door. However, venue staff is expecting this show to sell out, and are advising interested attendees to not chance it and buy tickets A.S.A.P., so keep that in mind. Visit the official Facebook event page for more details, and for a preview, here's Who Made Who live in Southern Ontario!



That's all for today, but stay tuned for our Don't Look Back preview and more on the site next! Thanks everyone!
