Hartford, CT / Fates Warning

[MFTE Cam]

I'll be in the Enfield, CT and Springfield, MA area for about a month and am needing to know where the good metal clubs are. I know there's Toads (or Froggies or something to that affect - anyone know the website?) and the Webster Theater in Hartford, but what else is near?

Anyone know their Fates history? I wouldn't mind driving around Hartford (I believe the band started in this area) checking out a bit of Fates history.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to da'CUT.

As for venues, I've never been to Toad's Place (if it's still called that).

The http://www.webstertheater.com/ is in Hartford. It's pretty shitty (the sound, the area, the parking, the inside....).

If you're in Enfield, PLEASE stop at Music Outlet. I always walk out with >3 awesome used CDs. Best metal shop in CT.

As for Fates Warning, I never thought to look into where they where in CT. I believe the first album was recorded at The Gallery in East Hartford.http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&q=the+gallery&near=East+Hartford,+CT&fb=1&cid=41777261,-72608858,6564437181169233818&li=lmd&z=14&t=m

Good luck and post back with any interesting findings.

The Webster is such a piece of trash... and it is in a splendid neighborhood. What dates will you be here?

I'll shout out to Jim to see if has any good ideas to pass along. It's times like these I truly dig helping them out with the online shtuff.

p1drift: I have 4 huge tubs of metal CDs I'm about to put up on eBay. Since I'm right around the corner from the Music Outlet, email me < cammac301(at)hotmail.com > and I'll email you back the eBay auction link. I'm sure I'll have something you are looking for - plus you'll save on postage.

Jib: Toads is under renovation so evidently no shows there within the next month.

Sped: I'll be here till the beginning of July, then I'm off to criss-crossing MA (contracting for National Grid) for about 6 months. Only thing I see of interest at Webster is Symphony X, but I won't be here when they come to town. When I get to the Worcester area, I'm definitely going to hit up The Palladium. BTW - Anyone have Matt Coe's email?

Shades: Bring the 411 on! I see PD has a new album out. Who do I contact to buy it? I checked the PD website and (unless I'm blind), I did not see any ways to order said album.

I live right in that area- and there are a TON of killer shows coming up. Please shoot me a PM and I'll be more than happy to show you around.

I also agree with the Music Outlet- that's the ONLY place I buy my music. They have (in stock) everything from After Forever to Slayer to Dimmu to Type O Negative and Beyond Twilight... You name it, they have it... and if they don't they usually get it in in less than a week.

There ARE??

 

[MetalRose]

There ARE??

Actually yes, but I tend to listen to death/thrash/speed metal too, so there might be more shows that appeal to me than to you. THen again, maybe not... but I've got my calendar set all the way to the middle of October this year!

I only listen to pop metal like Disturbed. Must be the reason

Well Disturbed isn't touring right now, but KoRn is: Tweeter Center
Mansfield, MA07/27/2007 I'm sure I'll see you there!

PS You owe me 100,000,000 beers and a bottle of bleach to wash my eyes out for actually having to visit the KoRn website!
