SUMMARY:Anvil Pounding the Past 2026 Tour with Midnight Hellion and LOVER
DESCRIPTION:Anvil Pounding the Past 2026 ‘Metal On Metal’ ‘Hard N’ Heavy’ ‘Forged In Fire’ with Midnight Hellion\, LOVER and guest selector Cyclopean Gloom \nWhere: Palomino Smokehouse and Social Club109 7 Avenue S.W Calgaryhttp://thepalomino.ca/18+ with government issued identification \nWhen: Wednesday July 1\, 2026 \nDoors: 7:00pm / Action 8:00pm \nAdmission: $22.00 advance at www.showpass.com \nNO JERK POLICY ALWAYS IN EFFECT!! \nAnvil (Toronto)Formed in Toronto in 1978 by childhood friends Steve “Lips” Kudlow (vocals/guitar) and Robb Reiner (drums). They had been playing music together since their teens. Initially known as Lips\, the band added bassist Ian Dickson and rhythm guitarist Dave Allison\, and in 1980 recorded an independent album titled Hard ‘n’ Heavy\, which introduced their penchant for sexual explicitness. Zany antics notwithstanding\, Anvil’s musical contributions were very real; their fastest songs were some of the earliest speed metal laid to wax\, while jazz-trained drummer Robb Reiner set new technical standards for the genre\, including pioneering the double bass drum technique that’s become a staple of much extreme metal since. \nAnvil were one of the first North American bands to push the sound and style of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal one step further. Indebted to the likes of Judas Priest\, Iron Maiden\, and many others from across the Atlantic\, Anvil nonetheless played louder\, faster\, and heavier than their heroes\, in the process laying the groundwork for the thrash movement that took over heavy metal’s underground in the ’80s. Anvil’s second and third albums\, Metal on Metal and Forged in Fire\, made significant waves in the metal community in 1982 and 1983. – www.allmusic.comhttps://www.instagram.com/lipsanvilhttps://www.instagram.com/anvil.metal \nMidnight Hellion (Trenton\, New Jersey)Their distinctive style – classic\, no-frills heavy metal serving tremendously infectious spurts of thrash riffs with a straight\, fun stage attitude – made them a top pick for world-class acts to ignite their respective crowds. Bringing their strong regional fan base to the table\, MIDNITE HELLION shared the stages with OverKill\, Dirkschneider\, Grim Reaper\, Flotsam & Jetsam\, Obituary\, Diamond Head\, Raven\, Exodus\, Yngwie Malmsteen\, and many more.https://www.midnitehellion.comhttps://www.instagram.com/midnitehellion \nLOVEROld school guitar riffs\, 80s heavy metal soulhttps://loverrockofficial.bandcamp.comhttps://www.instagram.com/loverrockofficial \nCyclopean GloomTender of Bars / Analog Addicthttps://www.instagram.com/cyclopean_gloomIn the spirit of reconciliation\, we acknowledge that we live\, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika\, Kainai\, Piikani)\, the Tsuut’ina First Nation\, the Iyarhe Nakoda (including Chiniki\, Bearspaw\, and Goodstoney First Nations)\, the Battle River Territory of the Métis Nation of Alberta Districts 5 & 6\, and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.NO JERK POLICY ALWAYS IN EFFECT!!

SUMMARY:PlayLab: Feet to the Beat
DESCRIPTION:Turn up the music and shake it out! Join us in PlayLab where we’ll be moving and grooving to a new style of dance each session. \n— \n11:00 am and 1:00 pm \nFree admission on Level 1 \n— \nAbout Kym Butler: \nKym has been a dance educator/movement instructor for almost 40 years. If it involves moving the body\, then she has facilitated the body moving. She has worked with figure skaters\, gymnasts\, models\, musicians and\, of course\, dancers. Kym has choreographed for music videos\, television commercials\, award ceremonies\, concert dance\, drag pageants\, parades and flash mobs. There is no age or skill limit in Kym’s classes\, she can teach any beginner and refine the seasoned artist. Her sessions are welcoming\, inclusive and most importantly\, fun! \n— \nAbout PlayLab: \nPlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings\, wind\, percussion\, and electronic instruments\, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch\, volume\, timbre\, and vibration. Pluck a string\, strike a drum\, blow into an organ\, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity\, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely\, explore freely\, and learn how musicians turn sound into music. \nPlayLab is open to the public with free admission on Level 1 of Studio Bell every day from 10 am to 5 pm. Learn more at studiobell.ca/exhibitions/playlab. \nPlayLab is made possible with support from the Alberta Museums Association and the Radomski Foundation.
