| jay brown User Info... | Here's a question. Let's say that myself and Mr. Stranglehold were to start booking bands at a new venue. Who would you all like to see? Doesnt have to be just punk or metal. That is where most of our contacts are, but we can bring other stuff here as well. Give us some input, if I'm gonna put my wallet on the line once again, I wouldnt mind seeing who you all want to see before hand. - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 8:33pm | ||

Cant get enough of his acoustic stuff. I got to hear his new song he just recorded when I was over there last week and it ruled. - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 9:35pm | ||

| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | Keep in mind that we're not talking arena sized acts here. We're talking nightclub draws here. I think it's time we got back to the days of great touring bands coming through on a regular basis. Input please. - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 11:35pm | ||
| lily_liquor | There are so many good bands across North America that rarely make it over here simply because bars can't guarantee ferry fare...even bands that consistently play Vancouver don't come over. I'd like to see more of the bands that play the Cobalt/Pic/Sugar Refinery without having to go over there....Assertion, Myopia, Nunstalker, CumSoc, Removal, Dissent, etc. etc. Good luck!! - Sun, 30 Mar 2003 11:39pm | ||

| Trailer Park Boy Julian | If you could swing any of those killer bands that the Pic in Van gets that would be awesome - I'd leave the hood waaaaaay more often. If you're curious to who I'm referring just check out the Pics listings. Good luck - I hope you guys can make it work!! - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 2:08am | ||
| Trailer Park Boy Julian | To help you out, some of the (IMHO) great bands / groups / combos / performers I've seen at the Pic and the Brickyard over the years have included: Johnny Legend and his Rockabilly Bastards, 7 Years Down, The Horrors, The White Stripes, The Murder City Devils, The Gaza Strippers, Black Halos, Lazy Cowgirls, The Heart Drops, Andre Williams, The Countdowns, Hi-test, The Felchers, Spitfires, The Bomboras, Bantam Rooster, Zen Guerilla, The Donnas, The Weaklings, The Bughouse 5, Ray Condo and Richochets blah blah blah... to name a few that come to mind AND the list of shows I've missed ('cause I live here) that the Pic has put on is even more impressive. That's what's always kinda surprised me about Victoria, all these awesome shows are / were going down in Vancouver at relatively small venues for a pretty cheap price and that nobody in Vic could get these same shows over here... maybe it is as simple as that damn ferry... maybe not. Also - yeah I know alot of those bands have broken up since I saw 'em (and a few of them have indeed played here in Victoria) - but my point is that that those places (The Pic and the Brickyard) are relatively SMALL rooms but they always seemed to get sweet shows. My list of bands etc was more to give a perspective of what Vic has been missing out on.... Hope you guys can pull some of 'em over here!! - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 2:17am | ||

| Christian and Emily's roadtrip. | Wax Mannequin is coming back soon (I can't wait!!!), maybe June,and Stephen Weed might travel out with Wax because he said there were some people he wanted to visit(I told him we were from Vic). Someone asked where he was (on another thread) and I saw his band in Brantford on Saturday (called The White Star Line). They were very incredible like the Flaming Lips or Bastro but with more of a country and noise pop thing happening and I bought a CD!!(I told him to come here and post but he didn't seem like he wanted too) We saw some great bands this trip(i mentioned those a few posts back. The Burdocks were the bizshiznat too)! hello to Marianne and Andy by the way! we'll be back soon. everyone here in Toronto is wearing masks because of some disease scare going on.SARS. it's scary a little bit. Should bands that want to play here just email you Jay? I didn't know what to tell the bands here. - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 5:15pm | ||

| unattained | tsk tsk, there there, didn't mean hurt your feelings with the puss jab. well, maybe if Jay meant bands that aren't local, he would have said so - and wouldn't have mentioned Blackie LeBlanc, for instance. I noticed a lot of other Vancouver bands came up in this thread too, cool that some of you seem so into having them over there! And fuck, I'M hyped about seeing NMN again soon over here, its been too long for all of us! - Tue, 1 Apr 2003 4:31pm | ||
| jay brown User Info... | Actually No Means No were the first band we thought of, I just wanted to see what everyone else had to say as well. As for the other comment about the bands that we were getting at soundgarden, well I only booked a few bands in thaere. The rest of the shows in there had nothing to do with me. I just figured if were going to keep going with this we might as well get a little input beforehand, but thanks for slagging us before we've even done anything, very productive of you. - Tue, 1 Apr 2003 4:38pm | ||

| jay brown User Info... | Ya I'm aware of that Nothing like anonymity to make people ever so cool. As for the comments about getting the bigger acts. That is all were going to try to bring in for the most part. The local acts can still get their shows. Get the good local acts on a bill with the bigger touring bands, that way they get to play to a full house hopefully. Then everyone wins. - Tue, 1 Apr 2003 6:45pm | ||

| jay brown User Info... | I would love to get a chance to bring those guys to town again. They blew ne away when they were here. I dont know how into it they would be though, they played here a couple of times and the halls were dead both times. Something I didn't know at the time that I think is kind of cool, the guitarist used to play in the Doughboys. - Tue, 1 Apr 2003 11:20pm | ||

| Anonymous | singer/guitarist was the doughboys guy. and Ian Blurton (guitarist) was with Change of Heart. he records/recorded a lot of stuff... karen foster incl. They're going on tour with Nashville Pussy to Europe soon and were just with them down in the states, i believe. The reason no one was out for their shows last couple times is that there was little or no promotion in advance of the shows from what I could tell. Really wierd for a band with as much shit together as them - the doughboys guy's a music journalist. - Wed, 2 Apr 2003 12:47am | ||

| SentencedtoBurn User Info... | Hey guys, that's rad that you're taking it upon yourselves to make shit happen. As far as local metal goes, we (Gross Misconduct) have been trying to get Myopia or Abuse out to Nanaimo, but the possibility of a Vic date also would probably be more appealing. Other local (lower mainland) noteworthy metal bands are: Zimmer's Hole, 3 Inches of Blood, Strapping Young Lad. Also, in terms of established Canadian metal acts, I think both Quo Vadis and Martyr are going to be releasing new discs this year, and if you could get either of those bands out....Wow. - Wed, 2 Apr 2003 1:40pm | ||

| ddddddddd User Info... | Hey I was just in Vancouver and there was a lot of buzz about a band called The Rumours. They just won the big thing in Toronto. Best unsigned band in Canada something or other. Has anyone seen them play? They are an all chick band. Not a dyke chick band... They're all pretty hot. I met them outside MTV Canada after they had finished an interview. They seemed pretty cool and I recognised their drummer, she used to be the chick drummer in Mudslinger. Does anyone know how to get a hold of them? I lost their managers phone number that they gave me. I'd like to try and get them on a bill with my band in Victoria. - Wed, 2 Apr 2003 4:13pm | ||
| Anonymous | well, I've seen them. They look really good. But to me it seemed like pretty manufactured, carefully choreographed L.A. studio rock, learning how to pose right and deliver the right tough attitude. When I first saw them they weren't so polished at it but they've probably come along since you have to rehearse that kind of thing a lot to get it "right". I'm not trying to say shit about them, someone's got to do it and if they end up doing it well, power to them. I just like stuff thats more unique and genuine, less contrived. But they do look good and I'm sure the industry/majors they're after will love it - you could tell from day 1 that thats who they're trying to please. - Wed, 2 Apr 2003 4:29pm | ||

| Smart User Info... | Dude, I know the Rumours from way back and they are the least contrived band I've met. They have turned down more offers then they have accepted. One of my friends is really good with the bass player and I met the band in Vancouver a few months ago. They were really cool. They have already turned down a few offers from Majors because the labels wanted them to change their looks etc. The girls all said "fuck you". They aren't trying to look cool, they just are. The lead singer's got a very cool voice and they are really good songwriters. I haven't met their new drummer but I've met the other three and they were really sweet. I hope that good things happen for them. By the by. Have you seen the other all girl band Lillix? I saw their new video on Much and it's a total Avril Lavigne sounding band. All these young chick done up to look like sluts. Very lame. Apprarently one of my friends know's the drummers boyfriend and two of the girls in Lillix got send of to fat camp by their management compnay and label so they could lose weight before their album came out.

| Anonymous | Ok, I don't know the Rumours. And its not my world, the types of bands that get a lot of press/scenster/label attention before their first gig. I only know what I saw, and it looked like a "you're pretty learn fast so we can throw you out there" deal. Ok, "they aren't trying to look cool, they just are", fine, and I hear they're nice people. But I also think its highly suspect that SOMEONE in their camp is knocking on a lot of majors' doors and "the girls" are suddenly all "fuck you"? Oh, thats because they're cool! Why would they be polite to labels they've just solicited who've just shown an interest? oh thats right, they're all hardcore tough and punk! And I wonder, why WOULD a major ask them to change their looks, they're everything bubble gum "punks" would want! I think for one, they definately have representation, and that they and their label-affiliated-friends (some of whom I know) are probably stretching the truth a little for effect. As I say, someone's got to do it so if they are, just say it and don't bullshit, but its not my world. And if thats the "least contrived band you've ever met", you just don't get it and probably never will. - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 4:12pm | ||
| Alibi | 3 Inches for sure; Frank Black (coming to Van next week); DOA are always entertaining and maybe a good draw in Vic because they don't play alot here; a couple of good Lower Mainland funk-ish bands are FREEFLOW amd Slow Nerve Action -great dancin' tunes that draw well in Van. - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 4:33pm | ||
| Alibi | WOW - what an impact I have ... just saw that Frank Black IS coming!!! - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 4:39pm | ||
| unattained | Saw DOA a month ago at a peace rally, and gotta say, they were pretty decent! It'd been a long while since I'd seen them last (I think one of their series of "final shows" ha ha) and I was quite put off. But after this one, I'd see them again - the band's all tight. Make sure you do the show right though, no inappropriate rooms with lame popstar openers. They've done a couple of those out here in Van, and people smelled it, they didn't draw at all. Gotta say that Shithead's looking fucking great these days! Makes you feel proud of old punks for living the hard life for so many years and still having the balls to keep up the fight! - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 4:56pm | ||

| unatttained | I just thought about it, and I just dissed some bands without meaning to - I can't even remember who exactly opened for DOA at the show(s) that tanked (honest!). I'm sure though that they do fine for themselves, but I just didn't think that they were compatible bands for the show. The way I look at it, DOA should be seen as somewhat "weighty" and the opener's have gotta be... right, perhaps something that might be palatible to the old school punks, big heavy maybe complex, not bands whose draw is generally more mainstream kids. redeeming myself? awww, fuck! - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 5:38pm | ||

| Steve Smarty Pants | The Rumours, Hmmm. I know them too. I went to school and am friends with one of the members and I've heard a bit of news on the band. They just won the huge battle of the bands in Toronto. At the MW's (Canadian Music Week)They won out of 300 unsigned bands so they must be doing something right. I think that they're cool. It's not because they are all girls. There was quite a few all girl bands in the competition. They put on a great show and yeah they're pretty but they're also good musicians. You can't fault them for having success in what they do. Do you think that it would be better if they were all really ugly? I mean who cares what they look like. The question is can they play?? The Rumours had been together for over 2 years before they started getting press so don't tell me that they were getting interviewed before their first show. Please... so I don't think that they've been thrown together by some management team. I also know that they've worked their asses of to get where they are. In fact I talked to my bud in the band and they practice every night for 4 hours or more. Why is it that as soon as a band start getting noticed they get torn apart by people who don't know them? I hope that they do well. The girl in the band that I know is a good friend of mine. I took the communications program at Camosun with her and we used to drink beer on the roof together at night when we were at the school late at night editing radio commercials. She also had great house parties. She's been playing music since she was like 12 years old. In fact I should tell my Rumours friend about this site... I haven't talked to her in a few weeks. I don't know if you know her. She used to live in Victoria. Her name is Sarah and she is a drummer. Pretty cute, blond hair. Anyone remember her from her days as the drummer in Mudslinger??? I have to admit that my opinion of the band has a lot to do with knowing her as a person so I guess I'm a bit biased but I figured I'd throw my 2 cents in anyways. - Thu, 3 Apr 2003 7:31pm | ||

| beazlbub | i myself would like to see some good metal shows come to town the cephalic carnage agiel and december show were great as was syl and meatlocker also the powerclown and burnside brawlers show was great too, how about a mix of both ? there r quit a few local bands that i know support each other because ive seen em at each others gigs so maybe they could put their heads together and put on a show.as for bands outside of vic i wouldnt mind seein some bands that r willing to play small but good venues and r also able to draw attention to bring in the crowds i dont know enough about the finances of bringin in bands like say, amon amarth or rancid to vic but i sure would like to see somethin like that here, maybe the summer will bring in a bigger better selection of bands.anyways im sure youll find somethin good to suit this towns tastes so have a good one(b) and see ya online or at a gig - Fri, 4 Apr 2003 12:25am | ||
| Trailer Park Boy Julian | Frank Black; hillbilly trash for white trash?!? Brutha (or sista) you know NOTHING about Frank Black.... I like both "hill billy" music and Frank Black, and I'd NEVER use them in the same sentence.... - Fri, 4 Apr 2003 2:14am | ||
| Anonymous | No doubt, The Pixies were the greatest rock band to come out of late 80's early 90's alternative music and Frank Black has written tons of great songs since. He has nothing to do with white trash or hillbilly music. - Fri, 4 Apr 2003 2:49am | ||

| Anonymous | "...think they might have it in them. The Felchers are trying out new singers..." that was a great play on words. Do they get Felched as initiation? Or just a Hot Carl? speaking of which, you should book Hot Carl (dependent records, guitarist for By Divine Right's other band.) - Fri, 4 Apr 2003 10:37am | ||

| Jason User Info... | ya Mastodon would be incredible. On a related note, I remember hearing that Goatsblood is going on tour with Today is the Day. That would be a great show. - Tue, 8 Apr 2003 8:27pm | ||
| shitbeard | this just in...Slayer, Pantera, the Accused, Cryptopsy and Nile will be playing outdoors in the rubble where memorial arena used to be this summer. presented by jay brownbeard. more info tba - Tue, 8 Apr 2003 9:04pm | ||
| lily_liquor | Hey Jay, if yer gonna do a metal show...get HURT from Van over here (Bry M's bro, Mark band), as well as MYOPIA (you probably know all those guys). Just a thought... p.s. Did you email Death By Stereo?? - Tue, 8 Apr 2003 9:57pm | ||
| dragonfly | I wouldn't mind seeing the bouncing souls I would also like to see a battle of the bands with some of the bands that don't play so much anymore mickey christ/lId/sweathogs you know stuff like that I am aware that a lot of you are in a bunch of different bands and would get tired but maybe you could do it over a few weekends...it would be cool to see people playing to win. - Tue, 8 Apr 2003 10:32pm | ||
| unattained | yeah, mastodon would be unbelievable. Goatsblood's awesome... Bouncing Souls, I'd kinda like to see them too - oh, yeah, but I DON'T LIVE THERE! but it'd be cool to see them all here in Van too. I doubt Myopia's in any shape to be playing, since every time I talk to Stef he kinda shakes his head sadly... so I think they've got some things to work out. Sounds like Hurt's maybe got a little ways to go too, from what Mark sounded like lately. Not sure about that one though. - Tue, 8 Apr 2003 11:02pm | ||
| unattained | Hey "Jay Brown", did you recently piss off a gang of 10-year olds? grrr, what the fuck is goin on? - Tue, 8 Apr 2003 11:06pm | ||
| Kids are alright | By the by. The Billy Hopeless of the Black Halos has created a new band called the Widows. Check them out. Very cool indeed... - Wed, 9 Apr 2003 4:17am | ||
