More New Videos, Plus An Inactive Band Note!!

Hopefully everyone survived that cold snap in the Soo area over the last few days! Hopefully this will help warm everyone up, as we have another SMS post to check out today as this month moves along at a glacial pace. We mostly have some new videos to put the spotlight on, but there is a band moved to our inactive band links within, so here's what you should know!

Here's an interesting find, namely a clip of inactive local/Toronto indie/punk band Treble Charger playing "Sick Friend Called" on the CBC variety show Rita & Friends circa 1996! This was uploaded in October by YouTube user Uncool Dispatch, who previously posted this video of Greig & Trevor being interviewed on MuchMusic in 1997. If you're too young to remember it, Rita & Friends was hosted by the late country singer Rita MacNeil from 1994-1997, and while it is odd to see her introducing Treble Charger, it does show that she wanted to spotlight a wide array of music! The video quality is very rough (was this making the tape trading rounds?), but the audio's alright, and it's neat seeing an early video like this, especially given that Greig's on lead vocals for an indie-era song.

If you can get past the visual quality, this is a prime early performance from Treble Charger that surely gave them some much needed exposure to a national TV audience! Give it a look below, and do check out Uncool Dispatch's channel for much more videos of Canadian TV appearances from 1990s rock and alternative musicians, as there's a lot to see there!


Next up, I have moved local hardcore punk quintet Destroilet to our inactive band links due to a year's inactivity. The band's last public update (a picture on their Facebook page) went up one year ago yesterday, and while the pandemic is acknowledged, Destroilet updates had dramatically slowed down in the late 2010s, with the band playing just two public sets in the past six years, most recently at the Joni Radford memorial concert in March 2019. One of the most enduring original local punk bands of the new millennium, Destroilet launched in 2009, uniting five scene veterans into a fast & blistering old school package that fans will have seen open for the likes of Random Killing, The Rebel Spell, and The Dayglo Abortions at concerts through 2015, as well as releasing a self-titled EP in 2011, expanded into a full length CD in 2012, and participating in 2015's "Fed Up!" split alongside The Ripcordz and Jack Spades.

Jam space renovations, members' personal lives, and the pandemic haven't helped Destroilet's concert frequency since the mid-2010s, but given their sporadic usage of social media to post band photos and sell t-shirts, hopefully they're not 100% done and that we'll see the guys tear up the stage once again when things return to normal! Best of luck to Mike, John, Christian, Adam, Matt, and Brent in the interim, they've all been missed!

Also, let's belatedly cover some more of local/Thompson, Manitoba alt-hard rock musician Mike Haggith's recent appearances/reviews in Thomas Christ's YouTube series You Rock!, where the host reviews songs by independent musicians in a 2+ hour live stream, Studio Live Today style! Mike debuted in the series with song reviews in episodes #11, #12, and #13 late last year, but he also popped up in episode #14 at the 57:44 mark, with Thomas checking out "Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost" from "Bridges", positively complimenting the song for it's professionalism, slow burn, and overall talent, even plugging Mike's interview with Pete Johns. As it turns out, former Bizotic frontman Brad Griffith (a.k.a. Gortium85) recommended Mike submit songs for Thomas to feature on air, which seems to have worked out! Embedded below is episode #15 from last month. 

In Mike's fifth straight appearance, his song reviewed was "The Best You Never Had", this time from 2020's "If Ever Comes The Day", and you can check that out 1:16:07 into the lengthy video. Thomas also liked this song for it's 1980s/modern hybrid sound and production, though you can tell that Thomas has his limits as a critic, as he didn't know who Michael Hutchence (INXS' late frontman) was when a viewer complimented Mike's vocals. Solid work all around, so give both episodes a watch, and look for local indie band Man Feelings in episode #15 as well! We'll have more from Mike soon!

Finally, here's a surprise upload of an old song by former No Arrow frontman Dann Pichette's inactive solo project! Posted to his YouTube channel last month, this is The Dann Pichette Multi-Track Recording Extravaganza's song "Swass", which has been up on their Soundclick page since 2012 or so (given that this isn't a new recording, I won't move the Extravaganza to our active links unless we hear that Dann's working on new material). As I thought last year when Dann first linked me to these songs, "Swass" reminds me of a Primus demo, albeit one that cascades into chaos, and it's a silly but well performed number for what it is! Give it a listen below!

That's all for today, but stay tuned for more news and notes on the site this week! Thanks everyone!

A New Solo Project Discovery, New Videos, And Much More!!

Today's post is almost going to run us dry for new content on the site, so good thing tomorrow's post has been ready to go for a bit, as we have some time to build up material for Wednesday! Below, you will find some assorted shorter stories, some new-ish solo content from a former local frontman, and a couple of videos, so let's get things rolling!

We have a new-ish solo project to add to our band links on the site, and this is The Dann Pichette Multi-Track Recording Extravaganza! Launched by the former No Arrow/SBD frontman back in 2012, this project isn't active anymore, but he linked me to his old solo material for something to cover on the site, and goodness knows, we sure need that right now! Ten songs are posted there, though only four exceed a minute in length, and there are (censored) expletives in many of the longer song names. The music on offer here is definitely more experimental compared to his old local bands, but if you miss No Arrow, "Always Tryin' To F*** With Me" will be the closest in spirit for grunge fans, and "Shut Up, You Stupid B***" will also have similarities there, albeit with sleepier vocals. Beyond that, "Wanna Be Like Dann" has more of a 1980s pop rock sound, and "Swass" sounds like a Primus demo, among other tracks. No song sounds like the others, which is good!

These don't have clean, professional recording quality, but they definitely showcase Dann's irreverent musical sensibilities, though given the solo angle, I'm surprised he didn't pay as much homage to early Pink Floyd as you may remember him doing in the SBD era. Dann moved out of town a few years ago, but if you were a fan of his local music work in the 2000s and early 2010s like I was, his Multi-Track Recording Extravaganza is worth a listen, which you can do above! Hopefully we hear more new music from him down the road!

Next up, here' the latest from prolific local folk punk/extreme metal solo musician Chase Wigmore, who has uploaded his entire discography to Google Drive for you to stream for free! This is totally official, Chase put this up all 22 albums for fans to have something to listen to during the pandemic, and it includes material released under his own name, plus Awokest, This Is Your Band On Drugs, The Black Lodge Masters, his splits with C.T.W., and any other project name you can think of. Not all of his back catalog is on Bandcamp and YouTube, so if you love Chase's diverse original music, you'll want to take advantage at the above links! As well, he did do a live-streamed performance on his Facebook page yesterday, which sees him cover a section of "Viral Counterpoint of the Coronavirus Spike Protein", an experimental classical piece by musician Markus J. Buehler, which attempts to turn the amino acid sequence of COVID-19 into a rather lengthy musical composition.

The video quality itself is oddly choppy for a live-stream, which may or not be helped by the filtered monochrome visuals, but musically, it's definitely something different! Very intricate playing, this as an oddly soothing essence, albeit one far from his usual sounds, so give it a watch below!



Also, here's one more new video from local/Elliot Lake punk solo project Ashoka at the Show, as uploaded on the 184Films YouTube channel yesterday, where frontman Darren MacDonald discusses what he's been up to since his originally lost access to this channel, how he got back into using this channel, and he promised to continue uploading "songs to quarantine to" daily while all of this is going on. You don't see too many videos like this where a YouTube channel owner apologizes for a hiatus, but it's good to keep fans updated, and hopefully we hear more of Ashoka at the Show soon!



Finally for today, here's three assorted shorter news items from the last while, and as usual, these are in alphabetical order by artist name:

  • If you are wondering why we never covered local rap/metal trio The Apocalypse Afterparty's announced set at The Borderline's SMAC-19 live-streamed benefit concert earlier this month, it's because they quietly withdrew from the lineup for unannounced reasons. Hopefully nothing bad happened, but visit the Mike's Lunch Music Facebook group to see the other performances by a wide array of talented local musicians! You may have to dig for them, as they've been sharing a lot of Facebook performance videos there since.
  • Northern Superior Brewing Co.'s "Songs & A Six-Pack" live-streamed concert series on Fridays did return last week, but it's actually not intended to be a one-artist showcase, so Greg Callaghan did not host the second installment (I apologize, wording from that week was ambiguous.) Instead, Rising Tide fiddle player Sheldon Jaaskelainen hosted, and you can see his episode, complete with Northern Superior plugs, at this link. Sheldon's vocal/acoustic guitar set contains no punk songs, but his talent is fully on display, including Boot Hill Crooners and Wild Turkeys renditions!
  • In their first post since the cancellation of their March concerts, local folk-punk solo project Slumshine revealed on their Facebook page that they were helping pass the time by making up a run of CD copies of their debut album "SLMSHN", which was originally exclusive to cassette tapes in it's initial physical release last summer. The sleeves are perfectly in line with Brent's art style, but given social distancing, when and how will these be available to buy? Stay tuned!

That's all for today, but stay tuned for part 4 of our WLS0 9O.1 FM retrospective series on the site tomorrow! Thanks everyone!

A New Local Metal Project, A Rediscovered Music Forum, And More News!!

Now two weeks into our current posting streak at the SMS, we're focusing on mostly Sault Michigan news today (along with a note on an old message board in Sault Ontario that I just came across), so that plus some more assorted news is at the end, but we're leading off with a new band discovery, so here's what you need to know!

We have a new Sault Michigan-area solo project to add to our band links, and it's from regional singer/guitarist Ken Sutton, a.k.a. SweetKenny! A Detroit native who currently lives and works in nearby Dafter, Ken is a longtime veteran of various Michigan music projects over the past three decades, and among his resume, he's played in the Detroit band Labyrinth, mixed & mastered many albums, produced artwork and animation for other projects, and wrote scores for video games and independent movies, of which you can read more on via the biography on his website. In terms of his current solo project, Ken's been working on original material under the SweetKenny moniker since at least 2010, and he's already released five albums online on various music download sites since 2011! As buyable on CD Baby, iTunes, and Amazon (and streamable via his website), his albums include his solo "stripped" debut "Raw & Honest", and four 2012 albums, including the softer-leaning "Footsteps", two heavy albums named "The Whole World Is A Fantasy" & "Jennifer's Box of Junk", and an Amazon-exclusive "best of"collection.

Amidst song postings on Reverbnation in recent months, Ken's 2013 plans include the releases of at least two new albums entitled "Doo Hickey" & "Perception", and these (along with his past solo CDs) are likely to be recorded at the Waterfall Recording Studios in Dafter, which he owns and does work with other artists through (click here for information on that front.) I've been familiar with Ken's work in the past, but I'm surprised it took this long for us to connect the dots and cover his music on here! His music is wide-ranging in sound & appeal, but he's clearly a very talented and proficient guitarist, and his songs are often very heavy with a nice classic sensibility! Vocally, Ken's singing changes a lot depending on the song, and I've detected influences from Ian Gillan, Elvis Presley, and Alice Cooper in the songs I've heard! (The latter two aren't a surprise, he's apparently been a tribute artist to both in the past.) There's so much ground to cover, but so far, SweetKenny has a little something for everyone, and his guitar skills are clear as day!

Definitely check out Ken's solo work at the above links, and if the releases hold up for his 2012 albums, I would like to review some SweetKenny albums on here! We've been starved for recent Sault Michigan-area albums as it is since Theatre of Night's most recent release. I've added both SweetKenny and Waterfall Recording Studios to our links on your left,  and for a video, here's his 2010 music video for his song "Friends Again"! Interesting mix of Elvis-esque vocals and funk rock, but it has a good groove, and trust me, he has plenty of heavier tracks to check out at the above links!



Also today, remember how I was lamenting on the loss of more local Sault Ste. Marie music-leaning message boards the other day? Well, I've found a new/old forum from way back when that may serve the same nostalgic needs that the closed Sault Music Scene forums no longer can! The forum is/was SooTonight.com, and it was active for just over a year from November 2005 until December 2006 (later posts were either Toronto-related or spam, and I suspect the latter helped end the forum's active use.) Ostensibly launched to promote concerts and events in the Soo at the time, it saw scattered use through 2006, primarily through the "Who's Playing Where?" and "Post Your Events" sub-boards, which feature some fun nostalgic promotion & posters for shows of the era, including bands like Gates of Winter, Caveman Morrison, Fitswitch, SourceCode, and The Regal Beagle, out of town bands like Gunz N'FN' Rosez, and numerous others from various genres, including some scattered band & non-concert event promotion!

Even though I was too young to attend most of the promoted shows on SooTonight.com, there's a fun nostalgic air with it all, and it's interesting reading about the various defunct bands and venues throughout, even if this forum didn't have the longevity & success of similar boards of the era. Some of the interactions were sort of harsh, but overall, this was a good idea that I wish had lasted longer. Check out SooTonight.com at the above links, and it's now listed with our other message board links on your right!

Finally for today, here's three assorted shorter news stories from Sault Michigan, and as usual, these are in alphabetical order by band name:

  • At some point last year (I believe), Sault Michigan hard rockers Monkey's Uncle added prolific local metal guitarist Nathan Switzer to their lineup as their bassist, replacing Jim Belleau. Nathan is the son of frontman Henry Switzer, so that's definitely a good fit on that basis! That said, I apologize if this was badly late, but Monkey's Uncle's MySpace page only gets sporadic updates at best, and news on 2013 concerts are still in limbo. I'll keep you posted!
  • Former Swayze Train/Insipid Brutality guitarist Scott Savoie has been releasing original metal compositions to his personal Soundcloud page in the past month, which have a lot of brutal technical metal promise! I have no clue if this will lead into a formal new band project, but these 5 instrumental demos are awesome so far, and check the above link to hear them!
  • Also in SoundCloud postings from across the river, local classical metal project Theatre of Night posted an instrumental cover of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 onto their own SoundCloud page yesterday, and it's a great rendition of this classical standard! No word yet on if this will make a future album, but check it out above, and help fund their upcoming "Christmas Night" sessions!

That's all for today, but stay tuned for more news as the week rolls along, including new concerts across the river and (perhaps) another new local band! Thanks everyone!

A "New" Local Band, Woods V News, And Much More!!

Before we begin today's news post, I'd like to offer our deepest condolences to the family and friends of former Warrant frontman Jani Lane, who was found dead yesterday evening in a Los Angeles hotel room at the age of 47. Jani fronted the prominent glam metal band off and on from 1986-2008, and was known for hits like "Cherry Pie", "Forever", and "I Saw Red" during Warrant's heyday. In recent years, his personal demons had overshadowed his music, though the cause of death isn't known yet. I don't believe Warrant ever played a concert in Sault Ste. Marie, but their work with Jani remains a highlight of the glam metal era of the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it's tragic to lose anyone this talented so early in life. R.I.P. Jani! Now to some local metal news, and we have some good news to share today, including some more new Banned videos, a page for a local record store you may have heard of, and news concerning Woods of Ypres' next album, but first, here's a newly discovered page for a broken up local band!

Off and on, you may have seen us reference Amethyst, the late 1980s-early 1990s glam metal band from Sault Ontario that were quite prominent and successful in their local run. Well, now they have a posthumous Reverbnation page so you can officially become a fan of theirs and check them out online! I assume a former band member launched it earlier this year, but I can't accurately date the page or determine who's maintaining it (my guess is former singer Rick "Widow" Dellavedova, seeing as the "Snakeye Strut" video he edited is posted there.) Aside from the video and the band's members, the only real information to speak of on the page relates to their 1994 CD "Innocent As Hell", which is uploaded there to both stream AND buy! Yes, you can officially buy Amethyst material again, over 16 years after the album went out of print! Just click here to buy their only CD for $9.99, with mp3s available for 99¢ each and ringtones for $2.49! Why not support the band and physically buy it? Broken up or not, what would it hurt to give them some attention? I will say that I think the page should also feature the band's earlier cassette album(s?), and the sadly-private "Waste of Time" video, which would be awesome to get a hold of, but who knows what could happen. Become a fan at the above links, and Amethyst are now in our inactive Sault Ontario band links on your left!

Next up, it appears that Woods of Ypres have officially begun recording sessions for "Woods V"! Well, the new "Woods V", seeing as the last sessions became "Woods 4.5". Though the local blackened doom metal band has yet to make an official statement regarding these sessions, multiple sources have given us details. It looks like the sessions began on Wednesday, as per guitarist Joel Violette's Twitter page, with the sessions likely to last until September according to Joel's apparent "so long!" to social media until then. As well, Kittie frontwoman Morgan Lander (a good friend of David Gold's) wished David and Joel good luck with the recording sessions on her Twitter page on Wednesday as well. She also confirmed that "Woods V" will be produced by Siegfried Meier at Beach Road Studios out of Goderich, Ontario (two hours northwest of Kitchener.) He's worked with bands like Kittie, Baptized In Blood, The Salads, and Thine Eyes Bleed in the past, so this should work well for Woods of Ypres! Yesterday, Siegfried commented on his Twitter page that he had a "kick ass first day with Woods of Ypres", while also posting a photo of what I presume is David Gold's drumkit for the sessions. Check the above links for more details!

Sounds good so far, though I wonder why David's staying quiet about the recording? When they recorded "Woods IV", he had tons of updates. Oh well, hopefully soon! As for the band's lineup, obviously there's changes due to the absence of the Madden brothers, but I assume David will take over on drums again, seeing as he played drums on every release Evan Madden wasn't on. Also, I have a hunch that Joel will do the bass tracks, seeing as he played bass as well for his black metal project Thrawsunblat. Of course, things could be different or could change, so stay tuned in case I hear anything different, along with any "Woods V" updates that come in! And yes, we'll cover "Woods V" in next month's "Where Are The New Albums?" post!

Thirdly today, we have even more new videos of Kinross hard rock trio Banned from last month's "Music In The Park" show in Rudyard! These just keep coming, don't they? These two are also courtesy of Ashley Traynor, who posted two more videos of her dad & brother's band rocking Rudyard onto her YouTube channel yesterday. One is of the band covering Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues", and the other is of the band covering Drowning Pool's "Bodies"! You don't hear either covered much locally, so it's interesting to see some covers of them! Being a metalhead, I expectedly like the "Bodies" cover more, but they do a good job covering Johnny Cash! Both videos feature bassist Alex Schrovenwever on vocals, but the "Bodies" cover features guest bassist Eric Cairns so Alex can focus on just singing. Good cover, but the growling instead of screaming takes time to get used to, and they do change the song structure a bit. Check out the new videos at the above links, and here's Banned's cover of "Bodies"!



And finally for today, have you ever heard of Rockin' Vinyl Records? You may have seen signs and ads for it in the West End of Sault Ontario, and though it's 415 Northland Road location (a street over from Deresti Motors on Wellington Street West) is just a house, feel free to consider checking it out, as it has tons of classic collectible vinyl records! Ran by Steve Roberts, Rockin' Vinyl Records has a nice selection of vinyl records, many of which have a level of collectability and a price to match, and you can order online as well at their official website! Just on a quick look, you can get a excellent condition vinyl copy of Pearl Jam's "Ten" for $200, a rare red vinyl import of AC/DC's "Powerage" for $290, an unopened copy of Alice Cooper's "Trash" for $45, and much more! There's a lot more than that on the website (and at the Northland Road location), but remember that being vinyl records, the vast majority of albums will be from the 1980s and earlier. Great selection from all genres though, and if you're a vinyl lover or collector, definitely head to 415 Northland Road or the website linked above to get shopping! Also click here to check out Rockin' Vinyl Records' Facebook page, which also has a contact phone number and more!

That's all for today, but I will see you guys TONIGHT for the Smeltzer reunion show (with metal bands) at The Oddfellows Hall! Thanks everyone!

Half A Man, Bring The Misery, And Rotaryfest Second Stage Updates!!

Hey guys, here's some more local metal news for your Friday! We have three topics to get to: Half A Man's recent happenings, Bring The Misery's lineup, and the Rotaryfest Second Stage schedule, so here's everything you should know!

Hey Half A Man fans, I finally have some updates from them! I'm sorry for having these so late, but things got shoved back and back and they deserve a lot of attention, as they have some huge news! The Brimley hard rockers began recording sessions for their debut demo/album "Die In Disgrace" on June 12th! I believe they're at McNally Smith Studios in Saint. Paul, Minnesota, as they previously alluded to, but they're not divulging every detail from the sessions. The album looks like it will have around 10 original songs, and there's a poll at this location where you can vote on your favourites, so that looks like the rough track listing. That same link is also for a special "Half A Man - In The Studio" Facebook group where fans can stay updated on the recording sessions, though their Facebook page also has frequent updates. According to their updates on both pages, many of their songs have had some big changes for their studio versions. Plans include online releases in the fall (no word on a physical CD release), recording to wrap up next month, and artwork from local artists (hit them up at the above links if you want to submit some ideas!) Most of the ghost tracking and many of Mikey Bishop's drum tracks are done, with some bass tracks being laid down today, and vocal and guitar recording planned to start tomorrow.

Sounds good to me, I can't wait to hear the finished product! Keep in touch with the above links for all current updates on Half A Man's debut album! Also, a bit of bad news, as Half A Man's planned Fourth of July concert/barbeque in Brimley has been cancelled due to their studio plans. Click here for the official announcement. Sad to hear, but when this album's done, no one will be complaining! I'll keep you guys posted!

Next up, local death metal band Bring The Misery have added Daeson "Shred Bear" Lesage to the band as their new rhythm guitarist, replacing Dan Souliere. Daeson did in fact make his debut with Bring The Misery at last night's Roosevelt Hotel metal night, though only yesterday evening did the band confirm that they'd have a "new shredder". He's not currently listed on their Facebook page's lineup, but I've done a lot of detective work to check my sources, and I'm fairly positive that Daeson is the band's newest member, as I've seen discussions on his personal Facebook page relating to him learning BTM cover songs. I'm not overly familiar with his local musical background, but through some YouTube searching, I've found out that Daeson was previously a member of a short lived local metal band named The Shit in 2009 who actually have a few videos on YouTube! I'll save those for an upcoming post to give them proper attention, but Daeson does have some guitar skill! I couldn't make the show to hear how he did, but I think Bring The Misery know what they're doing when picking musicians, so hopefully he fills Dan's gap well! Stay tuned for Bring The Misery updates as I hear them!

Now to some big festival news, as the official lineup for this year's Rotaryfest Second Stage has been released! If you were hoping for metal to be back on the schedule this year, you will be disappointed, as no metal bands were announced. I will go over the schedule though, it's only fair of me, as I covered the Second Stage last year (Garden of Bedlam headlined on the Saturday), so you guys should at least know who's playing. As always, the Second Stage will be held at Square One of Queen Street East (likely outside The Grand Theater and Muio's again), and loads of great local and out of town talent are scheduled! Like last year, the Second Stage festivities start with a short 5 band lineup on Friday, July 15th, including headliners My Son, The Hurricane, an ensemble funk rap outfit from Toronto that feature Saultite Danno O'Shea on drums. The opening bands include local blues trio Big Wheel & The Spokes (one of three returning bands from last year's Second Stage), Halifax bluegrass band The Moonshine Ramblers, local indie rock trio Cowboys & Indians (featuring ex-Soldiers of Misfortune bassist Alex "Xander" White), and local rock quartet Wishbone (featuring veteran local drummer Glen Thomas & Chris Smith of Browbeat & Jar. fame) opening the Friday festivities at 5:00 PM!

Saturday, July 16th's lineup is, as usual, an all day affair, and will be headlined by Toronto pop rock quintet Sweet Thing. You may recognize drummer Tyler Kyte from the old series "Popular Mechanics For Kids", so if you grew up in the 1990s (like me), you'll find that connection pretty cool! Local folk rock quartet Kalle Mattson (also returning from last year's Second Stage) are the top local band on the bill for the Saturday, and the rest of the lineup includes (in order) blues/roots trio Al Wood & The Woodsmen, folk/country band Porter (the other returning band from last year), veteran local rockers Huckster (they were on the main stage last year), roots rockers Frank Deresti & The Lake Effect, solo folk artist Shannon Moan, Toronto solo country singer Romney Getty, a local band of some type named Emma & Robot (anyone have details on them?), and local rock trio Mora Lee Sound (featuring Driver/Floyd Lee Band guitarist Joel Poluck) will open at 12:00 PM that day. For full details on these free & all ages shows, click here! The lack of metal is disappointing (Wishbone are the heaviest of the bands in my opinion), but there's a ton of great indie and folk talent to go around this year, so consider going to the Second Stage this year if you're into those genres!

As for the main stage at Clergue Park, or simply "The Stage", a lineup has yet to be released to my knowledge, but metal and hard rock bands aren't foreign to the main stage (That's Chester played there just last year.) As soon as I hear details, I'll definitely let you guys know! The actual Rotaryfest event page implies that "Jazz in the Park" (a one day theme last year) could be present each day on the lineup, though whether it will in fact be each day, or is subject to change is yet to be determined. I'll keep you all posted!

That's all for today, but stay tuned for LemmaFest updates and much more very soon! Thanks everyone!
