LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS (Soundcheck), Plus New Videos!!
I figured that we might see some more SHORT NOTICE LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS for this weekend, so those are leading off this otherwise new video-heavy post on this Friday morning, so here's what you should know!
Local classic/hard rock cover quartet Soundcheck will return to Jay's Piston Broke Pub for concerts TONIGHT & TOMORROW NIGHT! Apologies for the short notice, these shows were only announced via the venue's Facebook page yesterday, and the band has not confirmed them at press time, not having plugged a concert on their own Facebook page in almost a month. Yes, these did follow Soundcheck's regular jam night hosting duties last night, while singer/guitarist Cameron Oliver played an acoustic country set with Matt Tarantini for their Wing Wednesday matinee this week, so Soundcheck have had the former Roosevelt Hotel on lock this week! Not counting jam nights, these will be Soundcheck's first traditional concerts at Jay's since June, and hopefully their brand of classic and hard rock covers go over well with west end fans once again TONIGHT & TOMORROW NIGHT!
TONIGHT & TOMORROW NIGHT's concerts are 9:30 PM affairs with 19+ age limits and no cover charges. See above for more details, and for a preview, here's a couple of new videos of Soundcheck from... their Instagram page?! On July 25th, they opened a page on that platform, promising "weekly uploads" with media from each gig, but only three batches of pictures and two videos have been posted, ending on the 27th. The videos were both shot on stage by Cameron himself, so despite both being vertical, you do get a unique vantage point! One is of Terry Eaton playing the guitar solo from (I think) David Wilcox's "Riverboat Fantasy" at Reggie's Place earlier this year, while the other is of the band rocking out on an unidentified song at a recent jam night at Jay's alongside an uncredited jam night musician on guitar. Cameron typically does not perform at jam nights, but he was here for this one in some capacity.
Interesting videos that let us literally see things from Cameron's point of view, but of course, I'd like to see longer and horizontal videos even more, and of course, ones with the full band in action. Give these a look for yourselves above and below, and don't miss Soundcheck at Jay's Piston Broke Pub TONIGHT & TOMORROW NIGHT!
Next up, here's a new music video from online page-less folk/punk solo project Jonesy Land! Their fourth music video and first for a song from their debut studio album "Zoom - Out", this was uploaded to label Tidal Records' YouTube channel on Monday. The video is for the song "Old Man", with the video produced by the local consulting/marketing agency Dig. I'll hold comment on the song proper for now, as our very next album review on the SMS will be on "Zoom - Out", but the video features Dustin playing the song alone in a forest while surrounded by seven old CRT televisions playing footage of him, either from past videos of this & other bands of his, or alternate camera angles of this very song in progress. It's very well put together and shot in a way that suits the song, while also showing off his growth as a musician over the years, so give it a look below, and look for our "Zoom - Out" review later this month!
Finally, here's the second live video posted onto new local classic/hard rock cover quartet Silent 9's Facebook page! Again shot at last month's Cory Marks show at The Machine Shop, the 65 second clip features the Obsession successors tackling The Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Give It Away", which you don't see too many local bands covering, and they seem to pull it off well! The video is really nice too, with a solid view of The Machine Shop's unique staging while being able to see the band & front row fans very clearly, so give it a watch for yourself below!
That's all for now, but stay tuned for more news and notes on the site over the weekend! Thanks everyone!
