Most Of This Weekend's Hard Rock & Punk Concert Previews!!
The concert weekend before Christmas is upon us, so let's begin this weekend's hard rock and punk concert previews today! Due to the expected higher amount of shows in the coming days, I am holding our previews of Saturday night's Rising Tide and Oh!Noel concerts for tomorrow's post, perhaps with late notice announcements if confirmed. Now, here's what you should know to start off this weekend, in rough chronological order!
We'll lead off in Sault Michigan, where local hard rock band Tarnished are expected to continue their "every Thursday" arrangement at Biggby Coffee with another matinee gig TODAY! Unless there's a holiday break to acknowledge on Boxing Day, this will be Tarnished's penultimate Biggby concert of 2019, and this should be another fine opportunity for fans and patrons to take in Alex (and Josh or Nathan?) delivering another afternoon of hard rocking covers before Christmas proper! As usual for this lengthy run at the Ashmun Street coffee-shop, expect no cover charges or age limits today, and this starts at 12:00 PM once again. Of course, don't forget that Tarnished will close the year with a special 3-man acoustic show at Moloney's Alley on New Year's Eve, if you want a more traditional show. Visit the above links for more details, and here's Tarnished live!
Next up, let's hop north to Sault Ontario, where local indie/punk quintet Northwest will return to the local stage TOMORROW NIGHT at LopLops Lounge! This will cap off an eventful yet quiet year from this veteran band, who are still riding high following their Timmins festival gig this summer, but have only played twice in city limits this year, and just once with the full band. The holidays would seem like an ideal time for Northwest to get back in the swing of things, but will teases of new studio material in 2020 lead to some new songs for the occasion tomorrow? New local punk supergroup The Sick Sons (featuring 12 Gauge Ready & Downshift alumni) will make their LopLops debut as openers tomorrow, in just their third live appearance and first at a show with no touring headliners. This talented ensemble should deliver some high energy punk covers for the occasion, so don't be late for their set! This visibly self-promoted show has a 9:00 PM start time, a 10:00 start time, and a $10 cover.
LopLops fans have a great weekend of local punk rock ahead (look for our Tide preview tomorrow), so look to start things on the right foot with these local punk and alternative music mainstays! Visit the official Facebook event page for more details, and here's Northwest live!
Also this weekend, local acoustic hard rock singer/guitarist Tym Morrison's long-term arrangement at Gliss Restaurant on Spring Street is expected to continue as usual TOMORROW & SATURDAY! After this weekend, the former Caveman Morrison frontman only has three shows left at Gliss in 2019 (next weekend's regular matinees and New Year's Eve), so if you want to see him before the holiday, you know where to go, and who knows if he'll have any Christmas songs in his setlist! Expect more of the same high quality entertainment there from Tym this weekend, with 6:00 PM matinee start times, no cover charges, and no stated age limits, but remember that this is a sit-down restaurant. Also, we'll add his January shows at Gliss to our concert calendar next week. For more details, visit the official Facebook event page, and for a preview, here's Tym live!
Finally for today's previews, let's return to Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula, where Traverse City metal trio Scarkazm will return to The Northern Pines Lounge at the St. Ignace Kewadin Casino TOMORROW & SATURDAY NIGHT! These will be the final Soo-area concerts of 2019 for any of Jeff & Adam's linked bands, so if you can't wait to see Scarkazm on the January 3rd weekend at The Rapids Lounge, you may want to take the hour's drive to St. Ignace for their high impact metal covers over these two nights! As usual for Scarkazm's Kewadin bookings, expect these to have 9:00 PM start times, no cover charges, and 21+ age limits. For what it's worth, their sister band Peril will be back at The Northern Pines Lounge at the end of January, though Scarkazm won't be until at least the spring. Visit the official Facebook event pages linked here & here for more details, and here's Scarkazm live!
That's all for today, but stay tuned for our Oh!Noel and Rising Tide previews (and more?) on the site tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
