G.B.H

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

Hell at Home

So fucking tired right now...both literally and in every other fucking way. I feel like I need to sleep another 10 hours. But I can't because I'll start thinking about all my fucked up problems. Mainly the asshole who lives in the same house that I do. Yes, my mom's boyfriend Humberto..I've written about this dickhead before becuase he's always providing problems in my life. How nice.
I don't know what to do anymore..I had a job interview today and I royally fucked that up because I could'nt concetrate. I could'nt focus on it..I just could'nt. Perhaps most people can easily forget about their problems when they step out the dooor and put on a happy face. I CAN'T! I can't fake happiness no matter how hard I try. I geuss you could see this as a flaw. I don't give a fuck anymore..it's just who I am. The way I see it is it means I don't wanna deal with other people's bullshit an have stupid ass fights every fucking day. I want to live in peace and quiet! Is that too much to ask for? Is it much to ask for to not be insulted at home? To be abused?
Just this morning Mr.Nice-Guy (sarcasm) started screeching about how I left dirty dishes (I was gonna wash but not with him around to say nice things as I did it) and he said such sweet nothings such as I'm a bloodsucker. I know it's taken awhile for me to get y shit together but he has a huge share in the blame for that. Believe me I DON'T want to live in Toronto especially not with him. But I've had no choice due to the shitty financial situation...yeah, fuck the recession. If it was up to me I would have my own apartment in Vancouver by now. But life has'nt gone right for me as always. If anything good comes out of all this bullshit, it'll be the extra motivation to get the hell outta here ASAP. Wish me luck.

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.

The Quakes Show in Toronto

This is from The Quakes show in May 2009. They played at The Kathedral..once again it was a great show but there should've been more people there! This is old school psychobilly at it's best!

Big John Bates in Toronto

This was shot at the Toronto show just this past October. I also filmed interviews which will be included in a film I'm making now. It'll be out soon so keep an eye out.
