Black Sabbath cover band: Supernaut

Last Saturday, Black Sabbath cover band Supernaut opened up for Cocaine Tongue. I thought they did a decent job covering Black Sabbath and most of the people that I talked to said the same thing. Most of the time, the opinion of cover bands is in the "eye of the beholder". For instance, a couple of months ago I saw ToolFist and thought they did a great job, yet you look at the comments on some of the videos and they are all negative. Anyways, check out Supernaut on the YouTube page or check out their MySpace page.

Note for Cherry S/T show at Dodge Street

Just a quick note, Cherry S/T the band will not be playing on Saturday. However, from what I was told from someone at Dodge Street is that some of the members of Cherry S/T will be doing an acoustic set to open up for a band called "The Characters", a psychedelic rock band, check them out here:

North Shore Tonight . Com

This also just in.....

There's a new site up devoted to local bands just like this one called northshoretonight.com
North Shore Tonight has a list of music schedules, as well as an opportunity for local musicians to promote their own shows. You can even be their friend on Facebook!

Pete Tentindo's new band

More good news, Pete Tentindo is in a new band. The band is called "The Evening", which consists of Pete, Ben Goodman, Paul Lourenco and Andrew Malkin. Their first show is Bill's Bar on August 30th. My goal is to get some of the old Roadsteamer fans out to support Pete and his new band. You can also check out Pete at some local shows around here by going to his MySpace page (listed in the bands below). In fact, he's playing at the Black Lobster again this Thursday, so stop on by!!!!

Witchstock

It's been awhile since I've posted on this thing, so here we go.....

Last Saturday was Witchstock at the Salem Willows. My plan was to go towards the end of the day when bands like Status Green, The Force, Prospect Hill and Cherry S/T were playing. So I get there and I explored the merch table (also saying hi to Chris Harvey of Cocaine Tongue, I guess they are going to have a Black Sabbath cover band opening on Saturday). I just missed a band called Toobougou (if you've seen them, you know how to spell it) and they did a good cover of "Time" by Pink Floyd. They gave out a free copy of their CD and stickers which is cool (always push the bands that give out free shit). I was wearing my Status Green shirt and one of the band members came up and introduced himself, which I thought was cool. I shot some video of Status Green, but had to keep switching my position because this stupid old lady kept dancing in front of the stage (check the video, you'll see, not my best work none the less). After that, I headed home because I wasn't feeling so well (after I plan for a month to go to not only Witchstock, but the Dodge Street after party). However, we'll get to see Cherry S/T and The Force later this month at Dodge Street.

Status Green also has a new video up for their song "Firebomb". Check it out:
