It’s nice being in a real city, even if it’s only for a couple days. There is traffic and construction and people moving around at nine in the morning. I wasn’t able to check in early, so wandered off to find breakfast and take some photos.
The streets are alive. There is a vibrancy in [...]
The Toronto gigs with SNFU get better, as Mr. Plow will be there in addition to 3tards and Left Spine Down. I thought Plow wasn’t showing up in Ontario until after the Toronto shows, but he popped up on Facebook to tell me otherwise yesterday.
The shows are taking place at The Kathedral which reminds me [...]
I’ve checked in on the Ozzy web page and sure enough, they will be playing in Halifax on January 26. Tickets go on sale on Saturday to the general public, but the Ozzy fans get first crack. I thought, “Hey, I’ll just sign up for that and get the pre-sale code for Ticketmaster (TicketsAtlantic, whatever)”
The [...]
Posting the latest newsletter to MySpace, Facebook, etc… Nardwuar’s CD and DVD launch tomorrow with the FREE all-ages gig at UBC. Too cheap to buy the album? Go listen to the whole thing for free on (yeah yeah, I know) the Myspace site we setup for this at http://www.myspace.com/nardwuar
Hi! It’s Nardwuar the Human Serviette here [...]
I opened up the program for Halifax Pop Explosion ‘07, and I stopped dead. One of the local venues has a page add made up of show announcement posters; not unlike the Commodore Ballroom would have in Vancouver; listing a dozen upcoming shows. Three of the listed shows;
KMFDM
3 Inches of Blood
Nashville Pussy
At this point, I’ve [...]
Still waiting for word on video from the Mr. Chi Pig’s SNFU pseudo-reunionish show from July 20, 2007 in Vancouver.
There’s also a Flickr photoset of images I didn’t take, but that various locals provided for me to miss having been there even more.
I may have posted this tune already, but this is the latest rendition, and they’ve managed to get Mr. Chi Pig (SNFU) to slow down enough that the effect is much more complete. Very Broke Back Mountain now… Chi and Plow and their love that dare not speak its name…
Hellbent Cuntry w/ Mr. Chi Pig [...]
The first signs of the spring thaw are here in Halifax. D.O.A is coming to town, and sure I’ve seen them play about a dozen times in the past 4 years, but I’m really looking forward to this. I haven’t been going to a ton of shows, partly due to those financial issues that I’ve [...]
I mentioned Fat Joe Satan yesterday, and I decided that I just couldn’t wait to share the love. I’m hoping that I have a recording of Joe’s rock wonder duo named Untooned (Untuned?) in the pile of tapes here…
In the mean time, here are two bootlegged live cuts from the front row at The Cobalt…
Let [...]
I setup a smart playlist on my iPod the other day to collect all the Vancouver and Victoria related music I have so that I can listen to a random selection of SNFU, Modernettes, DOA, and other Vancouver bands when the mood strikes me. I was listening to some crappy Fat Joe Satan recordings that [...]
