Retro Rock Revue – Smash Mouth headlines Grand Portage Lodge & Casino

 

 

Loffredo & Associates is proud to be a part in facilitating the entertainment at the Retro Rock Revue event at Grand Portage Lodge & Casino

Multi-million selling California rockers, Smash Mouth, Headline Grand Portage Lodge & Casino’s Retro Rock Revue Weekend

Celebrate two days of the very best of 70s, 80s and 90s rock at Grand Portage Lodge & Casino’s 2nd annual Retro Rock Revue Festival, Friday June 29th and Saturday June 30th

On Friday June 29th, rock out under the big tent on Lake Superior’s shore with Thunder Bay’s The Hoolies, playing classic rock from 5pm till 8:30pm, and followed at 9pm by Kiss Tribute Phenomenon, Kiss Army! With identical makeup, outrageous outfits, classic instruments and top-notch musicianship, Kiss Army rules!

And on Saturday June 30th, get down to the smooth sounds of Boogie Wonderland, Minnesota’s number one 70′s Disco Dance band, at 2pm. Then, turn up the rock with Led Zeppelin tribute, the Zep Show, from 6pm. And at 9pm, headliners Smash Mouth take to the stage with their very own brand of 60s-influenced garage band pop

Since being formed in 1994, Smash Mouth has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. Along with their number one hits – Walkin’ on the Sun and All Star – they have consistently impacted radio with other recognizable hits like Then the Morning Comes, Can’t Get Enough Of You Baby, and a cover of The Monkees classic I’m a Believer, which was prominently featured on the Shrek soundtrack. A quick listen to their music and you realize the multi-platinum Smash Mouth have created a sound that is all their own. Having long since established itself as the ultimate true-to-life California party-band the vibe surrounding Smash Mouth is indeed – at its core – about having fun.

So visit Grand Portage Lodge and Casino on Friday June 29 to the 30th and experience the Retro Rock Revue Weekend.

BRASSTRONAUT ANNOUNCES NATIONAL TOUR NEW ALBUM MEAN SUN OUT MAY 15TH

Spring is here, and what better time to have west
coast indie favs, Brasstronaut, on the road. Beginning May 29th in Victoria, Brasstronaut
will be embarking on a 17 date Canadian tour in support of their new album, Mean Sun,
out next month on Unfamiliar Records. Their second full-length was recorded with Juno
Award winning producer Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Dan Mangan, Cave Singers)
etc.), and will have an early fall release overseas.

Accompanying Brasstronaut on this cross Canada tour is Icelandic band Útidúr
(pronounced: ooh – detour). Útidúr, a ten piece group from Iceland, plays joyous and
ambitious chamber-pop with a dramatic streak. Their recently debuted album This Mess
We’ve Made was recorded at the Sigur Rós recording studio ‘Sundlaugin’ in the summer
of 2010.

The Canadian Ritual Tour – The Black Dahlia Murder, Exhumed & Fuck the Facts Live in Thunder Bay


The Black Dahlia Murder will renew their campaign across North America on May 11th in Madison, WI. The Canadian Ritual Tour will criss-cross Canada in its entirety before ending in their hometown of Detroit, MI on June 2nd. Support on the tour will come from Canada’s own Fuck the Facts and Exhumed. The entire confirmed listing of dates can be seen below.

The Black Dahlia Murder have already toured Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Japan, with dates in New Zealand Japan, Soundwave Festival in Australia and are about to embark on a headlining tour of the US with Nile, Skeletonwitch and Hour Of Penance.

The Black Dahlia Murder’s video for Moonlight Equilibrium is now live at www.metalblade.com/bdm! The video is a David Brodsky-directed nod to old-school horror films with a much more graphic approach. The video’s content aptly fits the lycanthropic lyric concept set against a bawdy Victorian back drop. The result: a chilling and entertaining slice of mini-horror that metal fans and horror-enthusiasts will enjoy.

HENRY ROLLINS LIVE IN THUNDER BAY AT CROCKS – SATURDAY JUNE 9TH

While economic uncertainty and political upheaval define the global landscape on a broad scale, expect HENRY to bring the human (and often humorous) side to light during The Long March as he shares stories from the road less traveled – including recent visits to North Korea, Mongolia, Bhutan, Vietnam, India, Tibet, Sudan, Uganda, Haiti and Cuba.

HENRY’s relentless globetrotting to far-flung and often misunderstood corners of the globe is also the focus of his latest book, Occupants (Chicago Review Press), his first book of photos from his travels. Penetrating observations and incisive essays accompany the photos, as HENRY juxtaposes the disturbing legacy of war and conflict with the hope, bravery, and kindness of humans around the world; the tragic effects of hunger and poverty with the strength and beauty of those living in dire circumstances.

“There are some indelible images, including a bizarre Ronald McDonald statue next to an ATM machine in Thailand, the incandescent smile of a young girl standing atop a mountain of garbage in Bangladesh, and a collection of shining skulls on display in Cambodia,” says Blogcritics.org of Occupants. “These are more than mere Polaroids, Rollins has a definite eye for photographic composition. The images have a compelling quality about them…Henry Rollins manages to have his cake and eat it too. He stands alone as a punk rock Renaissance man, and Occupants is a worthy addition to his oeuvre.”

Nashville Pussy Returns To Thunder Bay – Friday April 20th At Crocks

 

 

 

Nashville Pussy came together in 1996. Albums such as Let Them Eat Pussy (1998), High As Hell (2000) or Say Something Nasty (2002) have caused an international stir, and their 1999 single release ‘Fried Chicken And Coffee’ earned the band a Grammy nomination in the category ‘Best Metal Performance’. Also rightly referred to as “One of the hardest working bands in show biz today.” Following the release of their previous album in 2005, Get Some, complete with a cover version of Ike & Tina Turner’s ‘Nutbush City Limits’, the band set out on an extensive 2 year tour, determined to document impressively what their audience had come to expect under the heading of ‘kick ass live show’ which was captured on the new DVD Live in Hollywood

Nashville Pussy’s new kick ass rock n’ roll album is…..From Hell To Texas

Nashville Pussy returns to Thunder Bay Friday April 20th at Crocks alongside special guests The Supersuckers.

Limited $10 advance tickets available in our ticket e-shop. $15 General Admission tickets available at The Urban Boutique, Rainbow on Bay, Ozone on Memorial, Bean Fiend, Valente’s Music & Extreme Pita
