Minneapolis-based
Tooth & Nail recording artist Write
This Down have scheduled a show at Station 4 in St. Paul on Tuesday, July
10 with support from Red Moring Voyage,
Harp & Lyre, Awaken, Imagine The Silence, and Sick
Of Talking About It. Write This Down
released their new album, Lost Weekend,
last month.
Following the announcement a couple weeks ago of major lineup changes to the Shockwave 2012 Tour and
co-headliner’s Voivod July 3 cancellation, Blabbermouth reported two days ago that the other headliner, Fear Factory, has also dropped out
resulting in the whole tour having the plug pulled. The tour was supposed to
start tonight, July 6 in Seattle, and pull into Station 4 in St. Paul on
Thursday, July 12.
Hard rockers 12 Stones return to the area on Monday,
July 23 for an all ages show at the North Star Room in Mounds View with Blameshift, Digital Summer, Throwing
Gravity, and Sinful Angel.
As Blabbermouthreported earlier this week, the revamped Queensrÿche
with new lead singer Todd La Torre will still be playing their scheduled show
at Halfway Jam in Royalton, Minnesota on Saturday, July 28. This lineup has
played two shows as Rising West, but
apparently this will be their first appearance officially as Queenrÿche.
Hardcore/crossover
band Media Blitz from California
will storm the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis for a special half-room
show on Wednesday, July 25 with In
Defence, Triple Crossed, Rivit, and Total Trash.
Local metal band Tomorrow Brings New Blood are having a
record release show on Friday, July 27 at Station 4 in St. Paul with Beastface, The Atlantis Theorem, Element,
and Apothecary. This is an early 18+
show. Tomorrow Brings New Blood will be selling their new, self-titled album
for only $5 at the show.
Support for the Taproot and Smile Empty Soul show announced last week at Station 4 in St. Paul
on Monday, July 30 has been set. Opening the show will be Severah, 14 Clicks, Requiems’s End, and Terror Overising. This is a 16+ show
that starts early at 6:00 pm.
Totally underrated
technical power metal band Banshee
has reformed with a new singer, George Call (Omen, Aska), and
released a new album, Mindslave.
Original guitarist Terry Dunn is taking the band out on the road, and they will
be playing Station 4 in St. Paul on Wednesday, August 1. I witnessed the first
Banshee reunion concert with original vocalist Tommy Lee Flood in 1999 at America’s
Pub in Kansas City, and they guys blew down the house. This promises to be
another killer show.
Rock band The Classic Crime is making a stop at
the North Star Room in Mounds View on Saturday, August 18 for an early all ages
show.
Black metal band Abigail Williams has booked a final,
lengthy U.S. tour that circles the continent from July 26 in Santa Barbara,
California to September 15 in Portland, Oregon. Right now they are slated to
play in St. Paul on Thursday, September 6. This show is unconfirmed, but I
would guess that it will happen at Station 4. Additional details will be posted
when they become available.
Norwegian
industrial/electronic band Icon Of Coil
are touring North America this fall and hit Ground Zero in Minneapolis on

Social Club in Minneapolis on Monday, September 17. This is an 18+ show, and
