If you like your music with a hard metal edge, then plan to attend Warehouse Mayhem II at the Agripavilion in Yorkton July 31.
Local event organizer Mitch Doll said the show is one which is focused on supporting heavy metal bands, most with a connection to Yorkton and area.
Doll said the event follows a format which was successful for Warehouse Mayhem I back in 2007.
"In 2007 we did it with the Youth Activities Council," he said, adding it was held in Ottenbreit Sanitation's building. " We had four, or five bands that were local and one from Regina."
The first show "actually made a profit," said Doll, adding it attracted about 150 people. " That's not too bad for a bunch of local bands."
Doll, who is again 小蓝视频 helped in organizing the show by Demetre Tsagouri, said a follow-up show never got off the ground because he moved away, but now that he is back he wants to support the local music scene again.
"We never really get played around Yorkton, so that's kind of why we did this," he said.This year's show has an eight band line-up, again focusing on the local scene.
Leading the roster of bands is Heal the Myth, a local metal band which includes Doll in its line-up.
Other Yorkton bands include Too Many Times, Harmful Effects and Dr. Qtron.
Bloodstoned will travel from Regina, but has a Yorkton connection with band member Kyle Westberg from the city.
It's the same scenario for Thracken, a band from Saskatoon, but with Jordan Schenher who grew up in Yorkton in the group.
Plectrum, a Melville band is also on the schedule.
The Canora band Oversoul rounds out the roster, and Doll adds they are probably the lightest band in terms of music among a roster which generally leans toward hardcore, thrash, scream metal.
While Doll has been the central organizer, he said the bands are really taking a cooperative effort to making the event a success.
"Everybody kind of pitches in and does everything," he said, adding advance tickets at eight dollars are available from any participating band, or from event sponsors Fuzztone Music and Mr. Stereo.
The event also has a spot at www.myspace.com
Doll said is hoping the support for local music comes forward.
"I'm kind of hoping this will become an annual thing," he said.
