Gonna be a sweet show, I get to party with the bands, get super wasted, and amazingness will ensue. So check out Ruby Coast's EP, as seen down below. Do it now!

The Rural Alberta Advantage

*phew* longtime no see. But I went to a show at the Horseshoe on Queen this past Friday, & it was gooood. Three bands played, and The Rural Alberta Advantage were the headliners. I'm a newer fan of this band, but I lovelovelove them. Their CD is just great so DUH, I'm going to share it with you! The other two bands that played were Hooded Fang, and a new indie band by the name of The Wilderness of Manitoba (shall upload their CD too in a separate post). Hooded Fang was okay, but they sounded too much like every other indie band I've heard, & they didn't really do anything to grab my attention. Anyshoes, without further ado, I give you Hometowns by The RAA.

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!

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.

City and Colour, Vids! Yay!

So I was pretty happy to hear that at Massey Hall, they don't mind if you bring in cameras, as long as you don't use your flash. I started filming "Waiting", but I had to put the camera down to partake in singing along, so that clip turned to crap. But I did get a few decent videos, so here they are! Oh P.S., show was amaaazing. It seemed like it went by so fast though; I could listen to Dallas for hours.

Julie Doiron - Spill Yer Lungs (Clip)

Through this entire set, I had no idea who this girl was. I'd never heard of her before, but it didn't take much for me to become a fan. She's an awesome musician, and just so down to earth and real. Love her!

Sometimes (I Wish)

*NEW* Untitled Song (Clip)

Yay a new song! I love it already.

So all in all this concert was rad-tastic, for lack of a real better word, and I wish it lasted longer. If you're a fan of Dallas Green, I highly suggest you check out one of his concerts. His musical ability tends to just blow me away, especially when he has the one-man+three-intruments show going on, featuring his guitar, harmonica, and that ridiculous voice of his. (And when I say ridiculous I mean amazing!)

City and Colour!

Eeek! Okay, sorry to disappoint but I won't be putting up any tunage today. I've gotta get all dolled up to see City&Colour tonight @ Massey Hall! Super stoked! I'm not sure about their policy on cameras, but either way I'm snagging a few pics & vids if I can. Shall put 'em tomorrow when/if i get the time. Cheers! *dances away excitedly*
