Monday, November 17, 2014 at 12:01AM Download will make a "major announcement" today. Presumably it's the full lineup. Interestingly, a rumored poster leaked online over the weekend and it is below. I wonder just how accurate this poster is... all signs point to the bands being very legit. We'll see soon I guess.
Sunday, November 16, 2014 at 12:01AM Winger played the Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles earlier this week. Maybe some of you attended the show?
True to form, they were just incredible. It always amazes me just how amazing Winger still sounds live... and the guys really give it all they've got on stage, too. If only every Glam band from back in the day still sounded this good.
Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 12:01AM Legendary Ohio metallers Skeletonwitch are about to unleash their hardcore fury on Dayton. The band will play Oddbody’s (5418 Burkhardt Road) on Nov. 15. Dayton bands Horlet and Engraved Darkness will open the show. Advance tickets are on sale now for $12. The door price is $15. This is an 18 and over show and doors open at 7 p.m.
Guitarist Scott Hedrick is excited to be back in the Dayton area doing shows. For a band originally from Athens, Ohio, Skeletonwitch has only played Dayton two times before, and those shows were a long time ago.
“The more memorable performance was a show with The Red Chord and Job for a Cowboy at a Christian venue,” Hedrick told the Dayton City Paper. “The owner actually asked us to sign papers saying that we wouldn’t fucking swear on stage. That was interesting.”
Since that “no swearing show,” Skeletonwitch has continued to crisscross the country, logging hundreds of thousands of miles and racking up fans in support of their classic style of true thrash metal.
With a decade of experience on the road and in the studio, the guys in Skeletonwitch know how to handle curve balls. A big one was thrown at the band in October when singer Chance Garnette was forced to leave the band’s current tour for personal matters. The other four members of the band had to make a decision: cancel the shows or carry on and do something nearly unheard of for a metal band – instrumental gigs. Skeletonwitch chose the latter, playing instrumental gigs for their legions of faithful metal heads.
