Sad that you never get to make it MAGFest? Want to catch MAGFest's most celebrated bands? NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!
Powerglove (http://www.myspace.com/vgmetal), video game metal cover band, who've been at MAGFest 5 and 6 just recently kicked off a national touring opening for none other than power metal band DragonForce (http://www.myspace.com/dragonforce).
I realize that DragonForce isn't particularly everyone's cup of tea, but Powerglove is absolutely A-MAZING, and seeing them on a large stage in a real venue is absolutely breath taking.
Having been a fan of DragonForce since sometime in 2003, and being a HUGE fan of Powerglove since I first heard them in concert at MAG5, I just went to their show here in Orlando last night and I was one of the funnest concert I've been to in a LONG time. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone else who loves video game music, and who can handle the awesome-ness of their metal sound.
Remaining dates are as follows:
Nov. 23 - House of Blues - Myrtle Beach, SC
Nov. 24 - Jaxx - West Springfield, VA (No Dragonforce)
Nov. 25 - Irving Plaza - New York, NY
Nov. 26 - Starland Ballroom - Sayreville, NJ
Nov. 28 - Rams Head Live - Baltimore, MD
Nov. 29 - The Palladium - Worcester, MA
Nov. 30 - Electric Factory - Philadelphia, PA
Dec. 01 - The Chance - Poughkeepsie, NY (No Dragonforce)
Dec. 02 - The Medley - Montreal, QC Canada
Dec. 03 - Imperial - Quebec City, QC Canada
Dec. 05 - Kool Haus - Toronto, ON Canada
Dec. 06 - Royal Oak Music Theater - Royal Oak, MI
Dec. 07 - Agora Theater- Cleveland, OH
Dec. 08 - House of Blues - Chicago, IL
Dec. 09 - The Rave - Milwaukee, WI
Dec. 11 - Picador - Iowa City, IA (No Dragonforce)
Dec. 12 - MYTH - Minneapolis, MN
Dec. 13 - Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg, MB Canada
Dec. 15 - Events Centre - Edmonton, AB Canada
Dec. 16 - MacEwan Hall - Calgary, AB Canada
Dec. 19 - Croation Cultural Centre - Vancouver, BC Canada
Oh, and Turisas was pretty awesome too. I was unfamiliar with them up until now but all you need to really hear is they're a Finnish metal band dressed like vikings with an dude playing a violin and a girl on an accordian...
Plus they do a sweet cover of Boney M's Rasputin:
