And here they are!! Pics from the G.B.H show at the Mod Club. It was a fucking amazing show...if you missed it, you really missed out..it's not every night that you get to see classic, 80s punk rock from Britain. They played a mix of new and old songs and I must say the old stuff was the best. The opening band "Armed and Hammered" kicked ass as well. The second band "Outer National" were mediocre mostly on account of their singer's nasal delivery. He could'nt pull off that reggae cover to save his life..sorry. Anyway loved G.B.H which was the reason for being there. They even stopped the show when some dumb asses decided to fight in the middle of the mosh pit. They were set straight right away. Then it was back to enjoying the music. One girl that really enjoyed it even jumped on stage for some spur of the moment dancing and flashing, followed be several other ladies who seemed to have taken the song "Alcohol" all too literally. Ha!Oh yeah, and some random girl gave me her fancy, papparzzi style camera to take pictures during the show..I just hope she follows through on her promise to e-mail me the results! Come on, random girl! : P After they finished playing singer Colin shook hands with some fans and kissed my hand!! Haha! So sweet! Gawd, I love my Brit punk! Bloody fucking hell proper! : P

The Zeroes at El Mocombo. Fucking A!!
The crowd at the Iggy Pop show..it was madness.

Volunteering for NXNE as well as watching some of the movies, interviews and bands (including Iggy Pop and The Zeros) and training for a summer job that just came outta left field. But it was all good..except seeing the cops beating up a poor guy at the Iggy show and seeing another guy on a bike get hit by a car!! Told ya...craziness!! : )

Toronto makes me sick

So disgusted with the local "scene" in Toronto. I'm so fucking bored and sick of the few people that are into the same kinda music I am. I don't why they're involved though because they nothing but pose and act like their shit does'nt stink. The only people who were actually getting shit done (like putting on shows and DJing parties) packed it in and aren't doing it anymore. Mainly because it was just a couple who got divorced so no more rockabilly or psychobilly shows in this town. It fucking sucks and it's driving me crazy!!
I don't understand why everyone has to have the same shitty taste..all there is the indie rock bands, top 40 dance clubs or hip hop...that is it! There's nothing to do if you have different tastes in music and lifestyle. It's really pathetic. For all the talk that we have here about Toronto being "a world class city" you really don't SEE it anywhere. Action speaks louder then words!! I wish the dumb motherfuckers who claim to be fans of the music would realize that!I really wish I had the energy to organize shows but I don't anymore. I know that I won't get a good response in this backwater town. I know that the so-called "fans" won't support the local scene becuase my name is not as well known to them as their buddies. Too bad they're all so useless and can't do shit to improve the scene. Oh yeah and the racism and neo-nazism does'nt fucking help!I can't wait to move FAR, FAR AWAY from here!!
I'm so disappointed by everyone I met, by their snobby attitude toward me when they had NO reason to be snobby because they themselves have'nt accomplished anything! And I know they're into this lifestyle for all WRONG reasons..because they could'nt make it with the in-crowd at the Tegan and Sara show. It's not because they have a genuine passion and love for the music and life. It's just really a sad state of affairs and I can't wait to be living far away from it. I don't think it could be worse anywhere else in terms of this type of scene.

Big John Bates in Toronto
As you can see this was quite the show...too bad it so few people showed up. This made me embarassed yet again to be from Toronto. Come on people, where's the support for GOOD rock bands? Why do shows full of pretentious, boring indie rock bands get packed while no one bothers to show up for the good stuff. Oh well, you posers missed a hell of a show. Anyway I got to hang with my friends from Vancouver and see a great live show. I recorded most of it along with interviewing the band. The interviews will be a part of a documentary I'm working on.
