Recent ORDAINED Updates
December 23rd - While all the other Vegas bands are conSINtrating on playing covers in tiny ass lounges and the few original bands in town are resting on what they have achieved thus far, the storm clouds are gathering. Jason, Animal, Dog & Rev are busy blowing off these two bit gigs and bands and are preparing for nothing less than total domination of the Sin City Metal Scene. When the time arrives for ORDAINED to unveil themselves in a public venue, rest assured that the pretenders to the throne will be kneeling before the Ministers Of Metal. This town has seen nothing of the likes of ORDAINED and when the time comes, all the non-believers will be converted to the power and strength of Heavy Metal.
November 25th - The wait and search are over, sinners! After a long process, The Reverend & Wally Dog have decided on two of the few. Joining the relocated founding members are Animal on bass and Jason on guitar. As a precursor of things to come, the quartet have been jamming on the back catalog while writing new material to bring Sin City to its knees. New pics to be posted in the near future. Stay tuned for more as it develops.
(posted) November 25th - SINVOCATION, The Reverends shop on S. Main St. has been rezoned and The Rev has been forced out. In this town, plans are HUGE and when someone plans on dropping $10 BILLION, City Council listens. The shop has closed, as it was located right where the new arena, hotels, offices, and condos are going to be constructed. Build it and they will come. Tear it down and they will come to watch. Viva Las Vegas!
(posted) October 29th - After the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy show, at which Wally Dog was the spotlight guy, during breakdown a large lighting truss collapsed and landed on The Dogs foot. The resulting damage was two broken toes, crushed when the truss hit. Although The Dog is otherwise in good shape, this SINjury will prevent him from jamming in the next week or so. While The Dog maintains that he can still play, and if the setting is right, he may be back behind the kit sooner rather than later.
October 14th - This past weekend saw the re-emergence of Heavy Metal to the Sin City area. Wally Dog & The Reverend hooked up with bassist Animal & guitarist Jason and went straight to Hell. The jam session lasted two hours, with tunes covering the range of ORDAINEDs releases. Passersby were treated to extremely loud versions of "50 Ways To Kill Your Lover", "Sealed With A Fist", "All In Vein", "Grimleys Tale" and from the Motorhead tribute album "Civil War". The guys will be jamming together again this Sunday night, and several tunes have been added to the list. Auditions are scheduled for later this week as well. The newest chapter of Sin City Metal is being written. You are reading about it here first.....
September 29th - In a move designed to lure a major sports franchise to Vegas, the City Council voted to rezone a large section of property near downtown. The resulting zone changes have now freed up the area needed to construct a brand new arena. The zoning also made way for several new high rise office/condo buildings and a new hotel/casino project. The resulting bottom line: $10 BILLION worth of construction. Sinvocation, The Reverends shop, is located smack dab in the middle of the rezoned section. At this point in time, it is clear that the shops days are numbered. The only question is when are the bulldozers coming? How much longer will the shop be open? Right now, nobody has said anything concerning moving out. However, The Rev is getting ready for any type of situation that is coming.... relocation, buy-out, forced out, stay put...... Stay tuned.....
September 23rd - In an effort to derail the ORDAINED train, the SINister forces that be attempted to disable Wally Dog from playing. In the SINsuing mayhem, The Dog suffered a broken toe. Although this was not a permanently crippling SINjury, it does slightly hamper the efforts at jamming. With this in mind, The Dog has reserved a jam room for this week. Nothing can keep ORDAINED from finding a guitarist & bassist. The search continues in Sin City for the one to step up and shred and sound the way a METAL band should. IS IT YOU?
August 28th - Shifting gears here in Sin City. The search continues for a guitarist and bassist. In the mean time, The Reverend has sectioned off half (1000 sq. ft) of SINVOCATION to speed up work on several new projects. Ordained Sinterprises has submitted the necessary paperwork to city officials and a green light has been given. This new project will be a kick in the ass for this area of Vegas and it will also push The Reverend to new, never before achieved heights. The first step will be painting the walls and ceiling, changing the colors to a better hue for what is coming. An old wall has been taken down and a new wall is being constructed to section off that part of the store. The new SINterior of the shop will SINcorporate the Reverends coffin along with several other ORDAINED trademarks. With these changes and a major switch of merchandise, the new SINVOCATION is sure to turn heads and undoubtedly put Ordained Sinterprises, The Reverend & ORDAINED SINto the spotlight. Stay tuned for more details.....
August 12th - The search continues for a guitarist and bassist to complete the ORDAINED line-up. Wally "The Dog" Parris & The Reverend relocated ORDAINED to Sin City in order to achieve greater heights than was afforded to the band while on the East Coast. Now set up in Vegas with massive business contacts and a plethora of venues to perform in, the duo need two more to get the train back on track. Once the correct SINdividuals are located, rehearsals begin for the conquest of the West Coast. Should you know of a guitarist or bassist ready to go to battle for Metal, pass along this SINformation.
