King Neptune & His Tridents is an all-star gathering of Guelph musicians, who first started playing cover songs together in 2003. The event was CFRU’s Glam Slam Ball, which was first popularized in Guelph in the early 90s, as a “fake prom” where young students and people waaaay past high school could get dressed up and party like there were no chaperones in the room. Rekindled seven years ago at the Ebar, the Glam Slam has gained new life as a hotly anticipated, annual, pre-Halloween bash that marries amazing music spanning many styles, genres, and decades, with dancing, formal wear, and a unique “prom” theme.
This 2010 Glam Slam incarnation of the band features Alison Bell-Smith, Andrew Collins, Bill Whitehead, Chris Hierlihy, Dave Withers Evan Gordon, Geordie Gordon, Jeff Munro, Jessy Bell Smith, Johnny Merritt, Jordan Howard, Tristan O’Malley, and Vish Khanna. Patrons are all encouraged to wear prom wear of course but dressing in some kind of Halloween costume would work just as well!
The world’s only all-female Weezer cover band is headed to Guelph. Sheezer is approved by Weezer themselves and play only songs from the 1994 classic “blue” album and 1996 fan favourite Pinkerton. Made up of Toronto musicians Laura Barrett (The Hidden Cameras / Laura Barrett), Dana Snell (Gentleman Reg / The Bicycles), Magali Meagher (The Phonemes), Robin Hatch (ex-Sports) and guitar shredder Alysha Haugen, Sheezer make a point of faithfully performing Weezer’s first two albums note-for-note.
Excitement for Sheezer was immediate and widespread. It started with a link from Weezer’s official blog, and a tweet about Sheezer from lead singer Rivers Cuomo. An interview in Spinner was picked up by USA Today, and the band has been featured in Exclaim, NOW Magazine, Eye Weekly and on several music blogs.
Sheezer’s debut show on New Year’s Eve 2010 sold out in advance, with a room full of Weezer fans shouting along to every song. The trend has continued through each subsequent show, with crowds getting larger and louder each time. Sheezer have blown minds of Weezer aficionados and non-fans alike, exceeding all expectations of any skeptics by showcasing their mastery of the hits. They have been working hard in continued efforts to electrify audiences with their feminine twist to some much-loved classics, and to stir up some 90s nostalgia. Be sure to check out the acoustic performance of Holiday they did for the online music video series, Southern Souls!
