Two heavy Montreal acts will be making their way to Newfoundland this October thanks to Justin Dean at Make It So Productions. Leather Up Your Ass, a four-piece cover band that serves as a tribute to the best of the best of 80’s metal, consisting of Nick Guerin (Dungeon Works Productions) on vocals, Lee “Whiskey” Hinchey (Doom ‘An Blue, ex-Mindrip, ex-Mutank) and Armen Apekian on guitars, Dano Apekian (Ashes of Eden, Ex Deo) on bass, and Jimmy “Bones” Antle (Doom ‘An Blue, Murtenscythe, Guttrot) on drums, will be making their way to the island as the headlining act.
Joining them will be Doom ‘An Blue, a two piece rock and roll / heavy metal band consisting of Hinchey and Antle on guitar and drums respectively with a rotating cast of mad-villains on bass and vocals for each song. The group performs a combination of original tunes as well as covers, featuring guest musicians such as Fez Khan (Crosstitution), Jesse James Dimitri (Doomed Caravan), and many more.
As an extra special treat, Leather Up Your Ass and Doom ‘An Blue will also be joined by Toronto, Ontario heavy metal band Black Absinthe. All three bands will be performing in Newfoundland for the very first time.
