The Zeroes

A shot of Iggy Pop..you can just barely see him...

and here's a blurb I wrote about that weekend..Had a crazy ass weekend! 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!! : )

More NXNE

Here are two more videos of NXNE shows..I got to film X and The Zeroes. I wanted to get Iggy Pop playing at Yonge/Dundas Square but there were way too many people and too much going on for that. : ( Oh well..

NXNE 2010-X

Here's a sample of pics that I took of X playing at Yonge and Dundas Square for the NXNE music festival. It was a fucking amazing show!! So glad I got to see it..by sneaking outta work! lol
I also saw the inteview of the band at the Hyatt Hotel...well worth getting up at 12 noon..I kid I always raise early at 11am. : P Anyway enjoy the pics and video!

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.
