Again, last-minute, but whatever: call 867-5858 for Worshipfest tickets. The event starts tomorrow night, so you have one day precisely to score cheaper prices. There're four adult tickets at $60 each and four kiddie tickets at around $48 each. You have the number. First come, first served. Do a guy a favour.
Anything Blindside has ever done and will ever do is pure amazingness. Don't you agree? 'Coming Back To Life', from 2002's Silence, still sounds very Papa Roach-ish, but that's not to say it isn't a great song - matter of fact it's one of the best on the album. And this year's About A Burning Fire is just mindcrushing.
I'll stop raving about them now.
Our friend Samantha at Amplify 819 has submitted a review of the new EP from Ottawa band Hartsfield, entitled Katya. A strong effort from a great band; we'll have that posted ASAP. Which is to say whenever I find time to hassle my web partner to do it. Curses, to know how to do it myself! Sucks to be me. Mad thanks to Samantha.
Some news from Floodgate Records crossed the desk today; as usual, we'll summarize in point form:
- August 12th at IKON in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Mourning September are having a big ol' CD-release party, and check out who's opening: Philmore(they of the infamous couch made of orange vinyl!!...never mind) and Yellow Second(featuring original Five Iron Frenzy guitarist Scott Kerr, I believe), among others
- Copeland's Aaron Marsh is gonna sing on the new album from Denison Marrs
- The Insyderz are going to Europe! And Royce Nunley from The Suicide Machines, who produced the band's latest record Soundtrack To A Revolution, is going along to play bass! Too bad I don't live anywhere near Europe! Next topic!
I'll end this update with the following statement: I have a chicken in my backpack. See, my friend Amy thinks that's random, but really, there's nothing random about it: I obtained a chicken in one of those ready-dinner plastic dome things, and now it's in my bag awaiting its final destination in my stomach.
Is that random?
I thought not.
Peace.
