A busy hard rock concert weekend is finally upon us for the summer season, so the first of this weekend's hard rock and punk shows make up the entirety of this post! We will need two full preview posts to spread things out, so shows with advance notice and no Thursday component will be covered in tomorrow's news post, namely this weekend's Cover-Up and Redundant shows, and hard rock events in the E.U.P.. Don't worry, they are coming! Now, here's what you should know to start this weekend, leading off with lots of SHORT NOTICE LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS!
Local acoustic hard rock cover trio The Wyld Stallyns will return to Room 21 TOMORROW NIGHT for their latest Finger Food Friday installment! Apologies for the short notice, this show was only announced via it's official Facebook event page on Tuesday. While this is the Elements side project's most frequent live venue, this will be the second appearance for Rob, Christina, and Jesse there during their new appetizer-laden Friday theme nights, last seen there in this setting two weeks ago. TOMORROW's concert should be another prime opportunity to hear The Wyld Stallyns' fan favourite and involved covers, so don't miss the action and the finger food above Low & Slow then! As usual for The Wyld Stallyns' Room 21 stops, this one-night-only concert has a 10:00 PM start time, no announced cover charge, and a 19+ age limit. Visit the above links for more details, and here are the headliners live!
Next up, we'll head to The Rockstar Bar, where local classic/hard rock cover quartet Soundcheck are advertised to return for one night only TOMORROW NIGHT! Again, apologies for the short notice, this show was only announced via it's official Facebook event page yesterday, and while the band proper hasn't acknowledged them on their Facebook page at press time, note that they haven't plugged their shows there since April. On that same token, the Mourning Wood successors will also play a one nighter at The Water Tower Pub on Saturday, June 23rd, as part of that venue's ever-changing array of nightly entertainment, and our source for that booking is the poster featured below for our Tym Morrison previews. TOMORROW'S Rockstar Bar show will be Soundcheck's first concert at this venue since playing a Saturday nighter there early last month, and fans of their classic and hard rock covers should be right at home once again, while next weekend's Water Tower Pub concert should be a good one too as they make a rare appearance at that venue!
A one-nighter due to or resulting in the Saturday show at the same venue that we're covering next, TOMORROW'S Rockstar Bar concert is at 10:00 PM with no cover charge and a 19+ age limit, and while this mostly translates to Soundcheck's Water Tower Pub show on the 23rd, note that their advertised start time is 9:30 PM. Visit the above links and below poster for more details, and hopefully some public videos of Soundcheck turn up sooner or later!
So, who's playing at The Rockstar Bar THIS SATURDAY NIGHT? Well, how do local funk/hard rock quartet The Elements sound? Apologies again for the short notice, this show was also only announced via it's Facebook event page yesterday. While we have seen Rob and Jesse live frequently this year in the aforementioned Wyld Stallyns, this will be their first concert with the full plugged-in band since September, so if you're missed The Elements live this year, here's your next opportunity! Of course, this booking is a one-nighter due to tomorrow's Wyld Stallyns show at Room 21 and/or the Soundcheck concert at the same venue. Also, while The Elements themselves haven't promoted this show on their own Facebook page at press time, it is definitely a go, as Rob Speers did ask for our help in finding an opening act for SATURDAY, preferably a "new band". This could be a big opportunity, so if you or a band you know would be interested in opening for The Elements on SATURDAY NIGHT, message him at this link!
As with tomorrow's Soundcheck concert, this show has a 10:00 PM start time (with or without an opener), a 19+ age limit, and no announced cover charge. See above for more details, and here's The Elements live!
Finally for today's previews, we'll touch on shows that did have advance notice, those being the latest array of acoustic solo shows from former Caveman Morrison frontman Tym Morrison, as he'll make a rare solo headlining appearance at The Water Tower Pub TONIGHT, before continuing his long term arrangement at Gliss Steak & Seafood with matinees there TOMORROW & SATURDAY! Joining a busy entertainment roster at The Water Tower Pub this month, Tym's one nighter there tonight could serve as a prelude to his expected return to Thursday concerts at Gliss next month, though fans of his lengthy run at The Quality Inn's house restaurant will be right at home tomorrow and Saturday evening, so keep all three of these dates in mind! Tonight's Water Tower Pub show is a 9:30 PM affair with no cover charge and a 19+ age limit, and while the two Gliss shows are also cover-less, they are at 6:00 PM with no announced limit (though mind the locale, it's not your typical nightclub.) Visit the official Facebook event pages linked here & here for more details, and here's Tym live!
That's all for today, but stay tuned for our Peril, Cover-Up, Project 906 and Redundant previews tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
