Winnipeg metal band Dreadnaut will finally play a concert in Sault Ontario on Wednesday night at The Canadian, with local openers The Fury! Admission is just $7, doors open at 9:00, with The Fury kicking things off at 9:30 PM! You may remember a couple of times when it looked like Dreadnaut would play here, including a cancelled concert at The Other Place last year with Garden of Bedlam, and a planned concert at Foggy Notions with Domenica this month, which hasn't even re-opened yet.At least we've actually got them for sure this time, even if it's really short notice for the show! Thanks to Jay Perron for giving me the scoop on all of this! Dreadnaut are awesome, I've thought so for over a year, and it will be great to finally see them live! As for The Fury, they're alright for a punk band, and with no guitarist and two bassists, they definitely have a unique sound! Sorry again for the short notice, but spread the word, make this show a success! I'll be there! For more details, and to confirm your attendance, visit the official Facebook event page!
Do I have more updates for you
guys? Yes, actually! Local hard rockers Half Past (previously known as Fingerbone) have uploaded a bunch of new jam videos to their official Facebook page! All are covers, including songs by Incubus, Tool, Seether, Drowning Pool, and Rage Against The Machine! Some do sound rustier than others, but they're mostly pretty good, and when it comes time for a live return, they should sound great! Stay tuned to their Facebook page for more updates as they roll in!
Next up, I have an update to make to one of the local band links. I've changed the link for defunct Sault Ontario hard rock band No Remains, cause I found a more recent and detailed MySpace page for them! Their old page didn't have as much going for it. The new one features songs with guest vocals/guitar recorded by local musician Craig Murphy, and updated band info, including then-new bassist John Pino and the absence of ex-drummer Josh Villeneuve. Sure, they've been inactive for over two years, but the songs aren't bad, so go check them out! Plus, I like to be as current and informative I can, so if I can find a better contact link, then I'll run with that!
And thanks to Ryan McQueen for this story, Energy Rock Radio (Sault Ontario's only online radio station) has re-launched their site and 128K stream, so head on over there to check it out, it's apparently much smoother now! Remember, your requests and music tastes can influence the playlist on ERR, just add your requests to the topic on Energy Rock Radio's Facebook group, so that everyone gets what they want, and you'll hear more bands you wanna hear! So go listen, it's a great station, and they'd love to see more listeners! Plus, the Sault's own Rich Moreland hosts a 2 hour metal-based radio show every Monday night, entitled Metal With Moreland, that should pique some interest from you guys!That's all for today, if anyone out there is seeing Aftersight, Graveyard Tan, or Clownsack this weekend, let us know! Thanks everyone, stay tuned for more news!
