This'll be the last update until the weekend, as sweetdisaster Big Cheese is hitting the road to the Montreal stop on the Vans Warped Tour tomorrow. Here's to the rock.
Kiros friend and roadie Gordie Beckham was killed in a traffic accident heading home to his native Ontario a couple of weeks ago; the Hamilton native was heading back from San Francisco(where the band was playing the Warped Tour), and the accident happened in the band's hometown of Calgary, Alberta. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all involved.
downhere has finally found a new home following their stint with Warner: Centricity Records will release the band's next album in the not-too-distant future and a tour with The Swift goes down this fall.
An alert sd reader out in Winnipeg(what up in the Peg?) emailed news that Much The Same(formerly known as Don't Look Down til the Nitro Records band of the same name forced a change) will be in Ottawa August 3rd at Club SAW; according to the email, "they play an aggressive blend of mid-nineties punk, new school, extreme catchiness, and some screaming from the odd time to time." Sounds like a winner to me. Eight bucks, August 3rd.
The new material from A Perfect Murder(what up in Montreal?) sounds pretty vicious, barring some ill-advised singing. And they had the good sense to leave 'Time Bomb' from their last album up on their purevolume page.
This one's weird: is that megafamous actor/musician/Fresh Prince Will Smith I see with Bury Your Dead in this picture? Random. [lambgoat]
So did anyone else see Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Matt Clement being drilled in the head by a ball the other night? Oh man. Buddy took an enormous line drive square in the dome. He was rushed to hospital where CAT scans came up negative, meaning we can now snicker in a lighthearted way over this. Man, he went down in a hurry. I was genuinely horrified til it was relayed that he'll be fine. Really, I was.
