Belated props have to be thrown to Rise Over Run, who may have showed up late for Sunday's show, but wrecked some big ol' stage whence they did materialize. What a show. Since The Flood and If Hope Dies were also out in full effect; too bad nobody else showed up. Sorry, Blake! The show rocked regardless!
The entire length of Payable On Death, the newest from P.O.D., has been streamed and can be had here. (Thanks, rockrebel)
Soulfest 2003 back in June outside Ottawa was an artistic success, if not a commercial one(with acts like Five Iron Frenzy and Sixpence None The Richer, how could it not have been?), but the festival wrote sd.com a couple weeks ago to say they won't be back in Canada in '04; they're aiming for a 2005 edition though. Keep them in your prayers. As well, if you order your four-day ticket for Soulfest at Loon Mountain in 2004 by November 1st, it'll cost you a measly sixty bucks(US). Check out this unconfirmed artist list: "hird Day, Newsboys, Mercy Me, Delirious, Steven Curtis Chapman, Toby Mac, Switchfoot, Superchick, Audio Adrenaline, Jars of Clay, Cross Movement, Jeremy Camp, David Crowder Band, Paul Colman, Jason Upton, John Rueben, Grits, Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Supertones, Relient K, Bleach, Rock and Roll Worship Circus, East West, Bob Rice & the Backyard Galaxy, Jim Trick, Tom Conlin and several others. NOTE these bands are not yet confirmed. We're talking to agents, managers, artists, God, and anyone who has something brilliant to offer SoulFest 2004." Daaaaang.
Anthrax and hardcore legends the Cro-Mags were in Montreal recently and qchc has their review posted for your edification. I'd have to gone to that.
In Flames are working on their next record, the followup to Trigger or whatever their last one was called. It had that great video where they looked just like some Florida band, all t-shirted and dreadlocked and junk. Awesome. Check out their website for all the goodies.
mewithoutYou lost their cat. How sad. Still an amazing band though! [hardcorechristian]
I thought this was funny: "Tickets go onsale November 4th for the pathetic 2-date Australian tour for Radiohead in April 2004.
APRIL 23 - SYDNEY, Entertainment Centre
APRIL 26 - MELBOURNE, Rod Laver Arena"
noisetheory's dry Aussie humour. Gotta love it.
I thought this was not funny, but way cool: "Last week P.O.D. flew to Cologne, Germany for a "guerilla" show at Siegerlandhalle, a 2,000 capacity club. During sound check, a 3' x 3' sections of the ceiling crashed to the stage and floor area, destroying equipment and causing German authorities to cancel the show. The kids revolted and P.O.D. decided to stay in Germany an extra day to make up the show. The show moved to the Oberhausen Arena, and the event turned into a media frenzy—all over TV, radio, and the cover of every newspaper. The next morning, 4,000 tickets moved in one hour and more than 10,000 kids filled the Oberhausen Arena in less than 24 hours ..." My BOYS. [relevant]
NBA regular season kicks off tonight with my T-dot Raptors taking on Jersey at home. Go Raptors! Maybe they won't miss the playoffs this year.
