Alright... Sorry, DJ Terrible was sick and wasn't able to make it down to the station for the last show. He still managed to automate some great tunes to tide listeners over until DJ FU made it down to conduct the second half of the show live. We go 100% live this week. DJ Terrible snagged some cool tunes from the amazing Killed By Hardcore blog. Fast and easy microwaved punk for you tonight! DJ Fuck You will be playing a slew of new records, including new slabs from the Agenda and Chronic Seizure.

CPC Gangbangs and the Hot Live Guys - June 4, 2008

Maybe I just feel like making observations when they're pessimistic. It seems to me that as Summer arrives, less people are attending shows and there seems to be less enthusiasm in general. I was surprised how few people decided to check out Montreal's CPC GANGBANGS. The theme for the evening seemed for the most part to be silent and observant. Maybe there was some hard partying going on in the nights leading up to June 4th, I dunno.

Well, unfortunately, the headliners proved not to quite have the firepower to decimate such a crowd. Perhaps this could be blamed on the muddy work of the soundman. I enjoyed some songs more than others and it seemed the band was having a bit of an off-night. I'd check them out again to determine just what it is that all those effects pedals do. At least they had their looks down; macho new wave hair-farming sleazes just back from Mardi Gras... with the exclusion of the bassist, who was more bent on an acid-washed crust/rockabilly hybrid mutation.

Some rock'n'roll salvation was supplied by THE HOT LIVE GUYS; the particular moment I am referring to is when lead guitarist Joe crashed on the floor to the side of the stage and thrashed around on his back while continuing to play. Some girl decided it was time for her potty break and she was almost, almost crippled by a barage of bicycle kicks. Joe, work on your aim. Fuck potty breaks.

KEN mode - May 31, 2008

KEN mode released their new CD/3x7", Mennonite, on the last day of May. Winnipeg's loudest band, and they finally secured themselves a roadworthy bassist, so expect them to hit the road with greater frequency.
