REHEARSAL SPACE?
Thomas Allen (of Three Piece Suit and The Shakey Deals) asked me to post this:
Hi all, Thomas Allen here. I'm currently doing some preliminary research on the possibility of opening an organized rehearsal space in the Sydney area. There are many variables to consider, the first of which is to get a realistic picture of who would actively use such a facility and what their needs would be. If anyone is interested or knows anyone who would be and would like to discuss the details please email me at tobascoman10@hotmail.com. Thanks, Tom.

TONIGHT! TONIGHT!
With new album in tow, CANCER BATS hit the area for the first time in a headlining role since January 2007. This will also be their first stop in the area with new bassist Jaye Schwartzer, who joined just after their appearance alongside Alexisonfire last summer.
Speaking of AOF, Wade McNeil's new band Black Lungs is rocking this shindig in support of their upcoming album. The band consists of Wade on guitar and vocals, George Pettit (screamer for AOF) on bass, Harris (from the Fullblast) on guitar, and Liam Cormier (of Cancer Bats) on drums. Expect some wicked punk tunes from these guys.
Also supporting the Bats are Distort's A Textbook Tragedy and Moncton's Iron Giant.
Fresh off tour with Johnny Truant, A Textbook Tragedy are starting to gain momentum. With the Distort team behind them, it's only a matter of time before this momentum pays dividends.
It's been years since the Giant rocked the Cape. Since playing at the Upstairs with C'mon and Rock Ranger, these guys have undergone a few lineup changes and joined maritime metal label Dimished 5th Record. This tour marks the release of their long awaited new album 'Creator of Scars', which is something not to miss.
The show is at St Annes Hall (Main St, Glace Bay) and tickets are currently available at Ollie Around in the Sydney Shopping Centre. Show starts at 630pm, don't be late or you'll miss out. |

I am just wondering if you would be so gracious as to put up a promotional poster for me that advertises for photography to bands and any artists. I've been working on this initiative for some time, andI am having a promotion that is lasting until the end of june and I would love to see if I can get some people in to take advantage of this offer. If you want, you can check out my site, and if it's something you think the masses will be interested in, could you post it up? if not, that's all fine and dandy. The site is www.scottmoorephoto.com

B'ys,
This is a press release I got from Music Nova Scotia. They are pretty much the only industry association worth belonging to, and they make the ECMA and the Musician's Union look like total useless idiots on the regular. They provide awesome things like help with grants, a medical plan for musicians, a pretty useful/informative daily e-mail newsletter, and they're mostly people who've got real experience playing in bands. Past and present employees include Jonny Stevens (The New Breed), Chuck Teed (Ermine), and Jason MacIsaac (Heavy Blinkers). Membership is dirt cheap, too, $50 for a band for the year. You can't even apply for an ECMA showcase without plunking down $200+ in money and CDs. This is not an old boys' club for bar-band hacks and weekend warriors, this is a useful, helpful, and relevant organization that any band who has aspirations of touring should sign up for. Here's the spiel from MNS.
Take care,
Sean
