Music News for Movember 30th, 2011

Happy Movember 30th everyone!  As most of you know, a lot of fellow Canadians, plus a large support of men & women worldwide, have taken part in Movember this past month.  On a personal note, thanks to everyone who supported the cause, it was a great worldwide success!

Anyways, here is what has been making [AFGM] headlines today:

Sister Sin went ahead and paid tribute to a great Motorhead classic, "Rock N Roll", and is also featuring long time musician Doro:

Dee Snider and the boys from Twisted Sister have announced their plans for a Christmas holiday concerts in Huntington, NY and New York, NY.


Snider shared some humour on the upcoming shows:

"If you told me 30 years ago that one day I would be playing Christmas songs, with Twisted Sister, for families in concert- and be happy about it-I would have punched you right in the nose. Funny how life changes you. Now I'm actually looking forward to it!"

Jay Jay French (guitarist) also commented: "There is no better way to blow your Christmas bonus than by seeing A Twisted Christmas on Broadway. It's so good, even atheists love it!"

$52 to $74 are the prices for the Huntington show and can be found here.  For those in NYC, tickets are $35 and can be found here.
