Good news and bad news, folks.

But mostly good news: two new concerts are slated to hit Spokane in the next couple months.

Like A Storm

New Zealand hard rockers Like A Storm will hit the Knitting Factory… like a storm… on Dec. 19 on their Stitches and Scars 2018 tour, alongside Palisades and Farewell to Fear.

If you’re into more contemporary post-grunge sounds, mixed up with an occasional didgeridoo solo — because New Zealand — you might want to check these guys out.

Tickets are available now. Click here for more or call 866-468-7623.

(Didgeridoo solo at 2:12, FYI)

The Music of Queen

Fans of Queen and the Spokane Symphony will get a treat on Jan. 26 with the Music of Queen, which is exactly what it sounds like: symphony meets rock 'n roll. Tickets for the show go on sale on Nov. 2, just a day after the release Bohemian Rhapsody, a film about the life of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. Here's a photo from the film:

CANCELLED

Chateau Guitar Festival

The Chateau Guitar Festival scheduled for Oct. 27 at the Flour Mill has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales and the loss of a major sponsor. The event was set to feature longtime guitarist for Michael Jackson Jennifer Batten, which sucks because Batten CAN EFFING SHRED.

Here’s a video of her getting down with the King of Pop while wearing some crazy ass costumes.
