      Well maybe once in awhile....but here's a few upcoming things some of you might be interested in...

       

      Tuesday May 25th.....The Famines at Call The Office.....2 piece Stoogian artschool rant and roll from Edmonton, which is a long fucking way from London Ontario so you should come out and see these guys...plus they just released another 7" that you can pick up at the show...

       

      Tuesday May 25th....Myles Deck and The Fuzz at Black Shire Pub....Halifax garage rockers return for another evening of hi-energy guitar fueled pop/garage fun.

       

      Thursday June 3rd....The Diodes, Johnny and The G-Rays and genuine vintage 70's punk video from Toronto. This'll be The Diodes first time in London in 30 years!!! And Johnny and The G-Rays haven't been here in almost that long....it's at Call The Office.

      As a warmup that evening, i'll be spinning late 70's/early 80's Canpunk from Toronto, Hamilton and London over the airwaves and the internet on Radio What Wave...here's the facebook event for the radio show:

      Saturday June 5th....Grooves Record Store hosts The Hook Up at 2PM....brand new band with some psyche/Deeetroit early 70's influences noise that you're sure to dig. The Hook Up plays at some art collective later that evening...

       

      Friday June 11th....Andy Shernoff along with Gord (Teenage Head) Lewis hit Call The Office for an evening of story telling....probably some Dictators noise as well, and maybe if you ask nice Adny will play some Masterplan...

       

      Saturday June 12th.....Johnny Terrien and The Bad Lieutenants and 63 Monroe play at The Dawghouse....it's a birthday bash for Speedy Mike's 40 ouncer!!

       

      Lots more to come this summer....Wanda Jackson, Red Mass, Teenanger, Paul Collins Beat, 905's, Mother's Children and more!!

      Dunno if anybody reads this.....think we'll change the name of London Ontario to Buttfuck Ontario...here's the rundown...

      Myles Deck and The Fuzz at The Black Shire....they went on early and called it shirtless tuesday cause it was a hot and humid nite...They played a real intense set of garage/punk/rock'n'roll that i realy dug...it's that pop sensibility that these guys have that makes it....huge crowd that nite....just me and the headlining band!! That's right, a private show just for me!!! Posters went up, mentioned on the college radio etc...and just me!

      The Famines at Call The Office....same nite as Myles Deck....crowd was 100% bigger!! Do, the math, that means 2 people were there, me and my buddy Kellen...but The Famines rocked like there were 1000 of us and gained 2 fans for life!!! An amazing show!!!

      Diodes....were fucking hot, just like back in 77!! Musta been 60 or 70 people there, lotsa old farts like myself and loads of fun!! But, they were REALLY LOUD!!! Even with earplugs, but my feet took over and wouldn't stop dancing cause i'm Tired Of Waking Up Tired!!!

      Hook-Up at Grooves Records was really cool!! Think early Stooges meet Blue Cheer meet early Who and you'll get an idea what this trio are like...female vocals on some songs really add a whole nother dimension!! And they played later that nite at an art co-op/hippy thing to maybe 15 people and really rocked out...shoulda brought my camera...

      Adny Shernoff.....along with Gord Lewis (Teenage Head) was a real rock'n'roll epiphany/talk/music session...nice and intimate, maybe 20 people tops at this one...it shoulda been packed!! Adny asked me around 11 or so, 'Do people come out late in this town?'.....nope, nobody but us die hards go out to see real rock'n'roll these days....and yes he did play a Master Plan song...Find Something Beautiful...

      We've got a big show coming up on Sunday June 27th....Red Mass (X-CPC Gangbangs), Teenanger and Lonesome Ghost at Moon Over Marin....ealry sunday show, only $5 at the door.

      Wanda Jackson, Sunday July 4th at London Music Club....probably sold out by this time as it's a real small room....

      Paul Collins on wed Aug 11th....another Radio WW presentation...
