I posted this in the Trading Post originally, but Dave mentioned that some of our fellow Canucks would be interested in this. We've got TONS of Canadian talent up in the webstore, with lots of stuff coming up this year. 

Hey everyone, 

Hosehead Records out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada have just released a couple new tapes from some local garage greats.

Great!!! Hope you guys can get something happening real soon!!!

BTW, Cynics were Total Killers last saturday nite!!! Best i've seen them in 20 years!!!

Cool! Thanks a lot for telling him about me. He's got some good ideas about music.

Rob Munro will be getting in touch with you....soon hopefully.

Anybody near Hamilton want to listen to music, get together for beers, or play lead guitar or bass in our band? Lemme know! I've been crazy about this stuff for the last 20+ years. If you've got a band, let me know that too. I'll come to your gigs.

Great Idea!  I sent a link to this page to my friend who owns TWANG! Recordings out of Toronto.  I'm sure he'd be interested in some grassroots promotion. 

Fuck yeah!!! Weirdonia is extremely interested in this, as we are just about finished out full length.

This thread is actually a fantastic idea, i'll contribute for Windsor

Milk Coffee Bar - Pretty small, great staff, dim lit, small stage, makes for a good personal show

Contact Owner Angelo with his facebook: http://www.facebook.com/milkcoffeebar

The Phog Lounge - Smaller than milk, rated number one venue in canada or some shit
Contact Tom Lucier, facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=603168324&ref=ts

The Coach And Horses - Great underground venue, because it's literally underground! It's the basement to another venue called the FM Lounge, and on top of that i believe is The Loop, but that place is just for DJs and Hip Hop artists i think. The coach mostly does metal shows, played there before, you feel like you're in a medieval bar or some shit being here.

The Blind Dog - was once the "high point" of Windsor, was where all the so called "big names" played. Like the cancer bats, lights, protest the hero, napalm death, etcetera blah blah blah. Anyway, it's not functioning anymore, suspected arson. Well definite arson, what kind of random blaze starts in every corner of the venue? Dumbasses. They replaced it with the..
Dominion House - Just started taking on shows, is filling the shoes of the blind dog, many of the touring acts have changed their stops from the smoldering shit ass blind dog to the DH!

Facebook has any info you'd need: http://www.facebook.com/theDominion.House 

Villains Beastro - The most badass place in Windsor, everything is based on famous villains. I'd imagine if you walked in dressed up as a famous villain they'd give you cheap drinks.

You'd think with all of these venues that Windsor would be a bustling music city, lolnope.

There's a very close-knit community of music lovers, and they're the musicians themselves. 

Okay... I'm done

Ottawa's rowdy rockabillies Sick Sick Sicks are gonna shake the cellar at the Clock Tower, along with Kingston garage punks The Lost Cause (members of The Orange Alabaster Mushroom, Owl Farm & Mississippi Grover) and capital city's Time Machine Millionaires (Cold Coffee + Salty Boots, Shanker + Romps, TBWNIAS)!!!

Mods & Rockers all night long...

Hey me and my band Weirdonia is looking for a studio that suits the same needs around Windsor Ontario. Any ideas as to who can work with Garage in the area?

My friend's name is Carl Petzelt.  He is a former member of a band called 'The Sinisters' and a long time Recording Engineer.  He and I both think he'll be perfect for the job!  Here is his fb profile facebook.com/carl.andre.petzelt and his email  twangrecords@hotmail.com    I hope this works very well for you!  He would like you to send him some demo's, so he has an idea of what he'll be working with. 

Cheers!  -Pete

They were amazing as always here in London on the 7th....they'll be back again sometime next year. By that time, you should be old enough to see them.

Here's an idea, if you have a good local record store (not a chain store) that is willing to have bands play in the store, you could always try  and arrange for cool bands who are in town, to play a short early eve or afternoon show (provided they are willing). Pack ad have played at Grooves Records here in London a couple of times and had fun...we had The Hook Up play live at Grooves a few weeks back, there'll be some youtube video on that one eventually...usually the bands sell merch to make it worthwhile... And we had Joe Shithead do a set at Grooves just the other day too!!

I have audio recordings of some of these shows, haven't figured out how to put it up on the garagepunk hideout.

They were just at the phog in windsor last night, but due to the whole "law" thing that canada has going on, I couldn't see them because im only 18.

I think they're awesome, but i would've loved to see them live, how are they?

LOL...that's funny Jeb! Hope they put on as good of a show in Ottawa as they did here in London a week or so ago.

I'm a fan!  Heading off shortly to see them here in Ottawa.  I must be a fan, cuz it's Sunday night, and it takes a lot to get me out on a Sunday.

Jeb

The Pack AD (Vancouver 2 piece on Mint Records) are on tour again (do they ever stop?) and just played here (London ON) a week or so ago and put on another killer show!

So are any of you hideout members fans of this band? Or are they too mainstream for you guys and gals? Just curious...

Sonic Avenues are so good! They just signed to Dirtnap Records. New record comes out in January 2012. 

PS We have 10 copies of the cassette pressing of their first record on Going Gaga/Hosehead Records in our webstore: www.hoseheadrecords.bigcartel.com

So when are Sonic Avenues coming back to London Ontario???

And what about the Beaten Hearts coming to London Ontario???

Dionysus Records released the Winnipeg Riot compilation, an all Winnipeg CD comp, put together by the amazing artist Darren Merinuk. This was released a few years back and is the coolest of the Winnipeg combos that were around at that time...Darren has GREAT taste in music and art!

Yup, that's a solid comp, and Darren rules very hard. I suggest checking out his blog for updates on the goodness he cranks out: http://intherubberroom.blogspot.com/
You may have noticed that he did the Noises From the Hideout comp cover!
