Tyranny and publication

If it's Thursday, it must be time for Rock'N'Roll Pizza Party ... well, perhaps not now since Nine and the RRPP have parted ways. Their last two shows were hosted by the kind folks at The MVP Lounge, and they may be the last for a while (I hope not). Anyway, this particular Thursday was back in June, just after Crowded House. Calgary's Grown-Ups were passing on through, and locals Young Stalin were picked to open.

Spen runs around! Spen also does the We Are Pretentious Assholes blog/zine.

No news on what they're up to right now.
  • Show reminder: There's folk music aplenty at Raw Sugar. If you feel peckish in the morning you can always check out the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals breakfast (from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. - more like brunch, really), with music by Tanya Davis, Chris Page, Jim Bryson and Andrew Vincent; later in the evening Octoberman, Winchester Warm and Andy Swan will play. There's no shortage of loud music around town either, with Polymorphines, Rockalily Burlesque and The Nightmares at Babylon, Blood Ceremony, Sons of Otis, Electric Magma and Gypsy Chief Goliath at Rainbow as part of CKCU's 35th anniversary celebrations and Uncooperatives, Loviatar and Bless This Mess rocking the Dominion Tavern. Bruce Peninsula, and Ghost Keeper are at Mavericks, upstairs at Cafe DeKcuf you'll find Carpenter, Cobra Skulls, Cheap Girls and Hamilton. There's yet more Randypeters reunionizing at Irene's; Fire & Neon, The Birthday Girls and Will Asaad perform at Zaphod Beeblebrox; The Big Bend and The Bushpilots will be at the Elmdale House helping mutual member Tim Pechloff celebrate his birthday. Trees, Wildlife, Our Books and Authors and Dark Mean congregate at the Avant-Garde.
