Noughts and Exes at The Gladstone

Checked out my buddy Gideon's band - Noughts and Exes at the Gladstone last night!

Was/ Still am super stoked to see a band from Hong Kong play a show in Toronto. Craze. The band was playing Envol et Macadam in Quebec City over the weekend, then came down to Toronto for the show last night, and for one tonight as well.

Awesome news is that since they are spending a decent amount of time in the city, I get to have them on the show this Thursday! It's gonna be a goooood old crazy time getting people in and out of the booth (since our booth can only hold 5 people, and the band is comprised of 6). Stoked!

Check out the band here: http://www.facebook.com/noughtsandexesmusic

Tune in on Thursday at 9 PM for some good songs and good times.

DUNGBEETLE RADIO IS BACK ON AIR!

THURSDAY. 9 PM. FUSIONRADIO.CA

STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES, UPLOADS & WEEKLY PLAYLIST POSTINGS.

So... I realize I haven't written shit in a while. School is insanely busy.
Blogfail.

Got out of my little study shell tonight and checked out a show at Beit Zatoun with my sister , saw Abstract Random:

SO STOKED ON THEM!
Am definitely going to try and catch them again while I'm still in Toronto.

Also saw Testament ( http://www.myspace.com/testamenthiphop ), I've really never seen anyone rap live, but I throughly enjoyed it. When I'm a little less broke I'm gonna get a CD of his for my dad for Christmas. Think he'll be stoked on it, heh I'm pretty stoked on giving it to him.

I've been pretty out of the loop on things social/political. It hasn't been good.
Hopefully the show tonight will be a push forward in the right direction.

Busy busy busy...

Have an interview with the guys in Shepherds the Weak coming up, but I've been working on it (to my disappointment)pretty slowly-- to my disappointment,-- work and school and chill time (hah or time getting that much desired summer lobster look) are taking up way more time than I previously thought! Oh well, hey at least I'm using my time. Anyway, finishing up my class in two weeks should free up some time.

Looking forward to the Noughts and Exes video shoot this weekend! Should be a fun time, haven't done something like this since I was little, so just maybe, it'll be a blast from the past. hehe. And, the Born from Pain show is coming up soon, so that'll be something to look forward to.

What a small small world we live in...

Hey! I just put up the interview I did last week with the Merriweather Deer, check it out on our "Print Interviews" page or click: THIS. If you haven't seen the band play, you'd better get on to it! The Merriweather Deer are on tonight at The Fringe Club at 10:30. This is the first print interview I've done in a long long while, to be honest, I really enjoy doing them, and might revert back to print for a while.

Being in HK really reinfoces how small of a world we really live in. It turns out that the Brian, the guitarist from Outbreak, who was previously in Gravemaker,  was in HK for a few days earlier this week. Completely psyched me out- he was at The Merriweather Deer show! I'd first met the guy in Toronto 2 years ago, when he was still playing in Gravemaker, at the show where I did the interview with Aaron Bedard. Someone had mentioned to me that he'd grown up in HK, I was pretty stoked, I mean first show in Toronto, and I'm already meeting someone who'd lived in HK. And... it turns out he lived here for 13 years! Insane! So Brian and Vivian and I chilled a couple of days ago, checked out the Dragon Boat Races, and ate some Ramen-- fun times!  Check out Brian's band Outbreak at http://www.myspace.com/outbreak
