| _Griphin_ User Info... | I have my copy reserved at Lyle's Place (I hope). That's neat hearing songs then comparing them to tracks I already have, the only difference is that AYECH added a bit more low end to these stuff, nice work!!! - Thu, 31 May 2007 12:51pm Edited: Thu, 31 May 2007 6:29pm | ||
| Leo Bondage User Info... | this is sweet, and yeha make an all ager release thing. - Sat, 2 Jun 2007 1:48pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | aCk... not these stuff, they added a bit more low end to these tracks I meant. I hate zoning! - Sat, 2 Jun 2007 4:51pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | this is the first I've heard of this book but it sounds really interesting. I'm especially interested in the 1990-1998ish Victoria scene so it'd be cool if someday someone compiles information on that. but anyway, I'm buying a copy of this book when it's ready. - Wed, 6 Jun 2007 3:27am | ||
| ricky jak User Info... | all age shows.... well it is a shame but all age shows had thier hay day back then. Why? I think when underground music first surfaced the radio stations where not playing this music, .... in that time there was alot of DIY. that still exhists today but you few "all age" show promoters will know, the attendance is poor. There is photos in the AYECH book that will blow your mind. All age shows at the OAP and Fernwood, and Da Vinci and FOE and ANAF. All age shows that where packed... hundreds of people. This lasted a few years. then it went back to the deep underground and we where standing in sardine packed basements like the Rats Nest to see bands like DRI and Nomeansno.... times have changed and i have a feeling it will be in Logans or Sugar depending on if we can get Black Flag to play... in 1983 Black Flag only charged $300 to play a show but now? anyway if your underage come anyway and i will sell you the book/CD out of the trunk of my car. Keep your eye on the website for more info to come... the release party is still in the works. So far it seems only the Automatic Shock is practicing so they are confirmed but i have a feeling the Do-Wops are confirmed and maybe we'll see who else comes out of the old folks homes. love-ricky http://www.allyourearscanhear.com - Mon, 11 Jun 2007 9:53am | ||

| Inhalien User Info... | When my band played with DOA and hired them to come to Victoria in the winter of 1984, they only charged something like $200. The gig just barely broke even. (Actually, after it was over we lost money due to broken tables, smashed bathrooms, bands that had 30 people on the guest list, etc.) - Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:26pm | ||
| Andrew User Info... | yea all ages attendance sucks - Fri, 15 Jun 2007 1:16am | ||
| Jason Flower User Info... | hey y'all. so there's some debate about the show being allages or a bar show. there's no question that d.i.y. punk was and i about all ages, and the scene we're documenting was definitely a teen crowd. however, all age shows are notorious for poor turn-out these days. and besides the celebration of the book release and some great groups reuniting for the event, we DO want to bring in $ to pay off the huge financial debt the project has made. so, what do people have to say? any solutions that would allow all ages and a beer-garden to both happen? we have about two weeks to decide the venue. check the site for updates. cheers (without beers), jason. - Wed, 20 Jun 2007 10:24pm | ||
| laprider User Info... | Ricky/Jason...tough spot, I hear and see both sides. Of course an all ages would in my opinion be the thing to do, but the reality is liquor, well SELLS. I think the only set room that can do this is the VIc event center, but the cost of doing a show there seems kind of high to me. I have some good connections through work and may be able to pull some strins on some maybe not used places. It would also be really nice to put on a big ol style all ages show, memories for us old farts and show these yungins how it used to be and in my mind still could be. I'm up for donating any time you need making this happen. - Wed, 20 Jun 2007 10:45pm | ||
| Rawb User Info... | I saw the "work print" of this book the other night. I was BLOWN AWAY. I couldn't even finish looking at it I was so excited seeing the little bit I did. To paraphrase Scott Henderson as he spoke about the quality of Black Flag's "My War: (And make sure you say this in a Scot henderson type voice) "It's so good i can't even listen to it!" Great work you guys! - Wed, 20 Jun 2007 11:35pm | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | Thw Wiki link to Victoria has a picture of the Legislative Assembly with a caption calling it "British Columbia Parliament Buildings in Victoria", someone should fix that. When is the show. I DO NOT want to miss this. - Thu, 5 Jul 2007 11:51pm Edited: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 11:52pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | And about frickin' time!!! Hopefully I've got cash to pick up my copy from Lyle's. Cool! The website should be http://www.allyourearscanhear.com . Strange, I thought Ricky didn't do the project anymore (last I talked to him that's what he told me)?!? And I'd help, but well, Jason Flower doesn't trust me. - Fri, 6 Jul 2007 10:01am Edited: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 12:35pm | ||
| Brittney S User Info... | Rick- how does a poor girl who lives far far away in Ontario get a copy? The website does not have a mail order address. If I send Ty Forslund the cash could I too be the proud owner of said cd/book. let me know how much and to whom! I really don't want to miss out on this! Cheers!-Brittney S - Fri, 6 Jul 2007 1:06pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Will there be mail order done?!? Seems strange there isn't any. - Fri, 6 Jul 2007 8:00pm | ||
| Jason Flower User Info... | yes everyone, there will be a mailorder option via paypal coming very soon. books are available as of July 28th, so just hang in there and come to the release party! - Sat, 7 Jul 2007 9:42am | ||
| Rawb User Info... | I'm sure the contact address will be added (now that there is product) and I'm sure mail-order will follow. I just wanted to post about how fun and nostalgic,and ...proud i felt at the book packaging tonight. Not really proud fro myself (I was only a very small part of this particular period in Victoria's music history) but proud of the work my friends have put into this book and proud of the lives lived by all the friends we talked about and the bands they were in. I felt a great deal of affection for everyone there. Thanks Ricky, Kev and Jason. Marcus, you probably never come here but if you do, it was really special talking (and heat sealing) to you. - Sat, 7 Jul 2007 9:46am | ||
| brittney S User Info... | Thanks for all those who had the idea and brought this to fruition, I'm really looking forward to this! I will keep an eye on the ALYCH site for address etc posted! Cheers! - Sun, 8 Jul 2007 9:51am | ||

| _Griphin_ User Info... | T-Minus 30 days and falling!!! This should be fun. - Sun, 8 Jul 2007 9:39pm | ||
| Jason Flower User Info... | tickets should be on sale by Monday at the latest, and we suspect the show will sell out very quickly so advance tickets are a good idea, especially for out of town folks. the book will be on sale at the show and then available in shops after the 28th. - Sat, 14 Jul 2007 6:08am | ||
| Jason Flower User Info... | !!! i wanted to clarify -- people can come to hear the cd's/see the book for free until 9pm. after 9pm, you have to pay for the gig if u wanna stay. it's gonna get full fast, so get tickets fast! - Mon, 16 Jul 2007 9:07pm | ||
| Shiny User Info... | Damn you guys have been busy! I can't wait for the book/cd release party. I heard the frontman from Jerkward is the crasiest onstage MF anywhere! Too bad we didn't have more notice we coulda had an all ages show here at my ranch in Shawnigan Lake.We gots the killerest outdoor PA system ever.Could even tied it in with the Invasion. Can't wait..... -Shiny - Sat, 21 Jul 2007 12:40pm | ||
| MANDAD User Info... |  Wish I could be there. I'm writing from the high desert near Joshua Tree National Park, where I now live. I was "Mass Appeal", who recorded, "Social Service". It was recorded in Rob and John Wright's basement. To save money NoMeansNo and I split the cost of producing a 7 inch 33 1/3 "single, each sharing a side. At that point NoMeansNo had never played live. Around the same time we recorded a NoMeansNo song in which I sang and played drums, "White Man's Burden". As far as I know the master was destroyed, some how. Many who will, or have, heard "SS Social Service" will be happy to know I became a visual artist. Looking forward to the CD's/Book.
