just got wind of this today.. thought i would do a little promo for it.. the iskra boys are in montreal and on there way back across canada.. they will be playing their final tour date in the basement with a selection of local bands.. all of which are yet to be confirmed. i will post as soon as i know. this show will be by a donation as the last show we got fucked around by the bylaw because we put a price on the poster.. anyway.. not much here..i'll post more when i know.

June 5th Iskra and friends in the basement.

ok.. i have just added another band to the bill.. i got a random email from a band on tour that was looking for a show that night in victoria.. so i said ok.. mach tiver is a bass and drum screamy sibling duo from toronto, on. you can check out the web addresses at thebottom for mp3s and lyrics. http://www.machtiver.cjb.net http://www.soundclick.com/machtiver

so it will now be

mass grave
the cloak
iskra
mach tiver
mitochondrion
bury whats dead

by donation.. (suggested donation of $5)... we don't want to force anybody to pay.. but there are two out of town bands now.. - Sat, 22 May 2004 10:23am

6 bands eh...? so when the fuck does this show start?...noon? at least the duo from Ontario is in the same genre as the other five..i got an email from Nick saying you better double check his rider...we have to close of the garage to use as ISKRA's dressing room now, and they want a deli platter with cold beer and soda's waiting for them upon their arrival...fucking rock stars.....he also went on to say that playing "somewhere in the middle" for a show being put on to celebrate their return...is somewhat unacceptable... - Sat, 22 May 2004 11:12am

Fuck is this going to be a fucking rad show! I love loud dirty underground music without the macho edge, which seems to be Burnside Basement's specialty. I would fucking love to give one of those guys a free FJ. I'm gunna pound booze and pretend i'm friends with the bands.

Maybe Ensign will poo out a few songs before everyone shows up so no one makes fun of us. - Sun, 23 May 2004 8:22am

About the Iskra rider...I heard something about Nick demanding the "Continental Breakfast": a pair of brown hookers. Plus I think he wants a Scarfaced-amount of coke...Figures...He always struck me as a WAAYYY out-of-control guy. Should be a fun-packed, spoon-tappin' kinda hoedown happening for that gig. Whew! 6 bands! What time should the show end to avoid cop problems? - Sun, 23 May 2004 12:51pm

we're gonna talk to the people next door and let them know.. but i don't think we want to have bands playing later than 1 am... so far we havn't had any trouble with cops. last time somebody got pulled over comign to the house right out front. its not that loud on the street, so as long as somebody doesn't do something stupid.. the neighbors are fine with it. hopefully drunk friendly football tackles on the front lawn will be kept to a minimum. 6 bands is alot.. it would really suck to get shut down by the pigs. hopefully we'll see you all there..

ps. is it a burnside show if doug doesn't play!?!?! - Sun, 23 May 2004 6:34pm

I'm sure that Iskra will be more than fine with doing a short set to accomidate the number of bands playing. Mabey we'll just play as our alter egos....DISKRA. We have three songs (written in under an hour) and already have a recording.

Also I require no deli tray, but demand a couple of PRD's upon my arrival home.

When did this bylaw shit happen anyway? - Mon, 24 May 2004 4:38am

the cloak is only going to play 5 songs, to keep things short so that everyone gets to play their ful sets.

Demanding PRD's? Whoa last time i checked you where the one out living it up, and now the king of cock and roll wants us to smoke HIM up!?! Yeah i guess you will be all tuckered out from having Phobia ask you to do a split and people telling you that you were the most brutal band at thrashfest, trashfest (or was it assfest?) whatever. Not to mention messageboard girlfriends, and who knows how much pussy and cock got thrown at you on tour? Don't worry, we'll have your sippy cup and blanky ready for your return. Oh....... something hapened to Nick's car too, but don't tell him yet. - Mon, 24 May 2004 7:20am

regarding the bylaw.. our landlord got handed one of the 25 full size posters we made for the goatsblood show by a bylaw enforcer. apperently.. its illigal to put on shows in a basement and charge money for it. so.. all shows are now by suggested donation towards the cost of pa rental and band traveling. our landlords didn't care.. they said they have yet to have a problem at one of shows.. noise or other. so.. cross our fingers. ..prds.. i'll see what i can do. - Mon, 24 May 2004 8:10am

What's The Cloak like? - Mon, 24 May 2004 10:45am
brad
User Info...
The Cloak are amazing..and are quickly becoming favorites around here for good reason. It would be nice if the bands could somehow pre-arrange gear etc. like having most bands use the same guitar cabs and the same bass cab or something, drummers will have to have their shit together and have their kits set up before hand and just move one out and then one in...BWD will be playing first so no one has to sit and watch that fucking lame ass rockstar wannabe drummer of thiers take a millenium to get things "just right"...(fucking poser)...and with this many bands - space WILL BE AN ISSUE...so storage will be hard to come by, perhaps a garage clean up will be in order to make some extra room... - Mon, 24 May 2004 10:57am

Who's in The Cloak? With all the bandcest that goes on in and around that basement, it's gotta be, like, 2/3s of Peruke and half of Mito, or something......

I've heard rumours of AE adding a token short-hair/Star Wars fan..... Anything to that? Inquiring minds, and all that.....
