Upcoming Shows from Norsekorea presents. . . October.

As I have mentioned, I'm not doing any Norsekorea shows in September, just a couple of local showcases etc. I'm always trying to find new bands to work with that I like and are willing to get out there and hang posters, and basically do all the shit I had to do when I was in a band. Maybe my band sucked or something, I'm not sure. . . I actually started a profile on Facebook called "Orlando Shows" just to use to help promote my band's shows. Our band made and printed posters, flyers, etc., and hopefully this should be a standard practice for every band on every show they play. If you are in a band that is playing a show for me, and you want to make your own poster- send me the file and I will print it for you. (keep in mind, it should ideally be 11x17 at 300dpi.) Don't underestimate the simple value of people growing familiar with your band from seeing your name on posters everywhere, or the fact that they will notice your hardwork.

Anyways, here's some of my upcoming October shows:


Sunday October 6 at Backbooth - 2pm

Norsekorea presents:
Dying Fetus with Exhumed, Waking the Cadaver, Abiotic, Abdomen Canvas, Prophecy Z14.

In case you haven't figured it out, this is a metal show. And a really fucking good one. The Fetus has been around for like 22 years, influencing many other bands in this time.


Also, you may remember Waking The Cadaver from this viral video from a few years ago:





Doors are at 2pm for this Sunday Matinee show, and pre-sale tickets will be $15, while tickets at the door will be $18. All ages are welcome.

Friday October 11 at Backbooth - 5pm

Norsekorea presents:
The Browning with This or the Apocalypse, Honour Crest, Tear Out The Heart, Myka Relocate, Exotype, LOCAL GUEST TBA

Another metal show, with a much different sound to it. The Browning takes influences from all across the metal spectrum and heavily fuses them with hardstyle, trance and other areas of electronic music in a way that most metal acts would not dare attempt. The band pushes boundaries and pushes buttons. In short, when it comes to The Browning, TheNewReview.net put it best when they said "the soundtrack to the apocalypse has arrived."


Doors will be at 5pm for this show, and pre-sale tickets are $12, while tickets at the door will be available for $14.

Saturday October 12 at Backbooth- 7pm

Norsekorea presents:
The Absence, Infinite Earths, Thrashaholica, LOCAL GUEST TBA

Tampa, FL area natives THE ABSENCE laid waste to an unsuspecting metal community with their debut Metal Blade Records album, From Your Grave, and after nearly two years of touring the guys returned in 2007 with their fan and critic acclaimed release Riders of the Plague. Riders of the Plague was recorded at Erik Rutan’s Mana Studios in February / March 2007 with Swedish producer Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, Carnal Forge). THE ABSENCE has returned to the metal scene heavier than ever with their third full-length album, Enemy Unbound; a metal masterpiece full of the band’s brand of high flying guitar histrionics and melodies fans and critics alike have grown to love.


Doors will be at 7pm, and tickets are $8 presale or at the door.

Sunday October 13 at Backbooth- 3pm.

Norsekorea presents:
Stray From The Path, Backtrack, Gideon, No Bragging Rights, Rescuer, LOCAL GUEST TBA

"Stray From The Path is an alternative hardcore band from Long Island New York. SFTP is a full time touring band with a mission to bring honest pissed off music to the world."

 Or, at least that's how they describe themselves. I'd describe them as a politically leaning hardcore band with a heavy influence from a band of a different genre: Rage Against The Machine. Some people would describe them that way as if it's a bad thing. To me, not so bad. 
Doors will be at 3pm, and $13 pre-sale tickets are available at Backbooth.com, or at the door for $15. 




Norsekorea presents: 
Savannah with Valise, Mountain Sounds, Guests



Doors will be at 3pm. $6 pre-sales available at Backbooth.com, and $8 tickets will be available at the doors day of show. 




Norsekorea presents:
The Deer Tracks with Saskatchewan, Guests

David Lehnberg & Elin Lindfors are the only two constant pieces in the always evolving puzzle of The Deer Tracks. These two versatile multi-instrumentalists and singers, handle everything from writing to recording to production. 

They are actively touring US, Canada, Japan & Europe relentlessly since 2008. 

The Deer Tracks display their signature schizophrenia as best on their latest record tril
ogy: The Archer Trilogy (PT.1, 2 & 3)

Their songs often stride fearlessly into the forest primeval armed with their "Northern Light Electronica" that is best described as a complexed mixure of stuttering beats and rattling arsenal of percussion over a steady beat, likely accompanied by beautiful string arrangements, soaring synths and Elin's ethereal voice to top it off. Somehow they blend them all together with other natural found sounds and deliberately lo-fi digital artifacts that adds bristles and grit to their relentless melodies.
 

Doors will be at 8pm, and $8 tickets will be available at WillsPub.Org and Park Ave CD's, or at the door day of show. 



Tuesday October 29 at Will's Pub- 7pm
Norsekorea presents:
Candy Hearts, Teen Agers, Mockingbird Wish Me Luck, Placeholder, Guests TBA


Candy Hearts is Mariel, Kris, and Matt.  We like taking long drives, playing shows, touring, sleepovers, junkfood, horror movies and hanging out.
Our new EP “The Best Ways to Disappear” (produced by Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory!) is available on Violently Happy/Bridge 9 Records.
Doors will be at 7pm, ticket price is TBA. Tickets will be available at Willspub.org as well as Park Ave CDs and at the door.
