About: Glen Drover is best known as the former lead guitarist in Megadeth and backup to Andy Larocque in King Diamond, as well as his own band Eidolon, along with his brother Shawn Drover.

Glen Drover began playing guitar as a child, and was joined at age 10 by his brother Shawn on drums. Influenced by Tony MacAlpine, Al Di Meola, Randy Rhoads, Greg Howe, Michael Romeo, George Lynch, Warren DeMartini and David Gilmour, the Drover brothers formed the thrash/power metal band Eidolon in 1996, releasing seven albums to date. Glen is currently touring with Testament in place of Alex Skolnick and teaching guitar lessons at Long and McQuade.

In 1998, Drover joined King Diamond, and appeared on the House of God album.

In October 2004, Drover joined thrash metal band Megadeth, bringing along his brother Shawn. Following an extensive world tour, Drover contributed to Megadeth’s 2007 release, United Abominations as the lead guitarist and with co-writing credits for one song. While busy recording that album, Drover also cut a guest guitar solo for the track “Emotional Coma” (featured on the album Emotional Coma) by Swedish metal group Lion’s Share. Drover recorded his solo at home in Canada, and sent the music file to the band.

In January 2008 Glen Drover left Megadeth to focus on family life; the constant touring was starting to have a negative effect on him. His last show with Megadeth was on November 18, 2007 in Brisbane, Australia. Commenting on leaving the band, Drover said “I am aware of the rumors that I left Megadeth to focus on family life and my family life has always been my priority. In the end, I was unhappy with the situation, which magnified me wanting to spend more time with my family and realizing that it’s time for me to move on to the next chapter in my musical career, I have a lot of great memories and met a ton of great people along the way, both fans and people in the industry.”

On the 22 Oct 2008 Testament announced that they had recruited guitarist Glen Drover to fill in on their Mexican tour dates with Judas Priest, Due to Alex Skolnick’s prior commitment to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Also in March 2010, during the time of him trying to finally finish his album, Glen Drover was playing with Testament on the Megadeth, Testament, Exodus tour In the US and Canada, due to Alex Skolnick being away again.

Feb 18th – Blankfest Quebec IV – It’s About The Homeless; Nothing More, Nothing Less

In the cold they sit and in the cold they wait. Montreal’s homeless never have it easy as the city streets they live on are notorious for having brutal winters, with temperatures well below zero. For that reason, year after year, Montreal’s music community comes together to help keep warm. Blankfest Quebec is proud to announce its annual return for its 4th year in support of one of Canada’s oldest and largest homeless shelters, the Old Brewery Mission.

Every year Blankfest Quebec aids in raising awareness and clothing for Montreal’s homeless and over the last few years has raised nearly 2,000 winter clothing items for Montreal’s homeless.

“It is a great initiative. With the cold weather here, our clients at the Mission will truly appreciate it.” commented Matthew Pearce, President and CEO at the Old Brewery Mission.

This year’s 4th annual Blankfest Quebec will be hosted at Frite Alors (680 Ste-Catherine Ouest) on Saturday, February 18th with support from Montreal’s The Era Of… (featuring vocalist Matt McGachy of Cryptopsy, 3 Mile Scream & members of A Texas Funeral), punk rabble rousers Society’s Ills, jazz rock virtuosos RudeBeats and electronic progressive rockers Isolate Cast.

“People forget that after the holidays Montreal’s homeless are still in need and on the streets in below zero temperatures, risking frostbite and death due to exposure. The least we can do is keep them safe and warm and help the Old Brewery Mission by raising winter clothing for them.“. commented Blankfest Quebec organizer Jon Asher

About: Blankfest Quebec is organized by Jon Asher, in collaboration with the Old Brewery Mission, and was launched after Jon read about his friend, New York City indie rock veteran Kenn Rowell of The Baghdaddios, who founded Blankfest in 1997 and has been organizing the annual blanket fundraiser in New York City for the past 15 years.

In the past, Rowell says, Blankfest NYC has raised more than 6,000 total donations that have been distributed to the homeless in the New York City area and has inspired similar efforts in New Jersey, Manhattan and Nottingham, UK. Among the many distinguished artists who have performed at past international Blank-Fests are: Rothberg (EMI), Buddy Cage (Grateful Dead), Marc Rizzo (Soulfly) and Meg Griffin (Sirius Radio).
