Okeedoke, the vids from Friday's show @ the Sound Academy are finally up on YouTube. You can check 'em out on my channel here. Happy watching!

Your English Is Good

So Tokyo Police Club are playing a show with Ruby Coast on August 15th in Newmarket, about 20 minutes away from me. These kids hail from Newmarket, and I'm sad to say that I only recently clued into this fact. Even still, that's flippin' awesome. What's even more awesome, is that because my friend's cousin plays in Ruby Coast, we get to attend the after party! Holla, living the rockstar life, right here. No I kid, I kid but it should be a rocking good time and you know I'll be snapping pics n taking vids, so stay tuned!

Bookie's Big Blast

So I'm heading to the Sound Academy on Friday to see The Arkells again. They're playing a free show for Bookie's Big Blast along with my friend's cousin's band Ruby Coast, and Still Life Still. It's a free show, so if you're in the Toronto area on Friday with nothing to do, come out and listen to some chillin' tunage and have a couple drinks! (Or some water perhaps, if that floats your boat). Doors are at 8PM, and it's first come first serve. If you're interested, head over to the Sound Academy website now and get yourself on the guestlist.

Big Music Fest '09

Finally got around to putting together a vid from the show. It was pretty hard to get any decent shots through a crowd of 10,000 screaming fans, but I tried. I figured if you at least get to hear how it sounded, that's fine by me.



Awesome concert, let me tell you. We didn't get to see The Spades, because of course we had to drink a few beers before leaving, and then we had to get food, etc. etc. Long story short, we were a little late (and by little I mean 2 hours!). But everyone else was just wicked. Gord Downie was just having a ball on stage, and let me tell you, if he were my age... No totally kidding..sort of. But it was a really great show. I've never been anywhere in my life where there's been that many people. Awesomeawesomeawesome, that's all.
