Yep, coupla things happening in sleepy London Ontario Canada that may interest hideout regulars:

Friday Sept 6th APK in downtown sleepy London Ontario. The Boy From Nowhere return. Mid 80's garagepunk/blues/rock'n'roll combo from London Ontario are a little older, maybe wiser, but they've still got their rock'n'roll hearts in the right places. Pretty well all covers is their forte, so you may hear tunes by: Dictators, DMZ, Yardbirds, Teenage Head, MC5, Shadows Of Knight along with some Elvis and blues tunes mixed in. Always a fun time as you shake your ass to help the beers go down quicker.

Here they are doing a version of Heart Full Of Soul from Thee Cave Comes Alive LP on Action Records outta Greece.

And we'll also have these characters on CHRW's Radio What Wave on Thursday Sept 4 at 6PM ET for a possible live to air acoustic type of thing....last time they came in they played some Kinks and Real Kids as well as some Flamin' Groovies. Nothing planned so we'll go by the seat of our pants and ride this thing till we fall off.

And on Saturday Sept 6th The Boy From Nowhere will be part of a day long celebration of a former bar/shithole called The Brunswick, home to many a London band over the years. Also home to a wicked smell that wouldn't go away until the place was finally torched. Now it's not even a hole in the ground. This event is also happening at the APK in sleepy London Ontario. Other bands slated to play included Duke Sedan and The Hi-Tones (pure 50's rockabilly) and loads of other drunks. It'll be a party to remember if you're in any shape to remember!

And then on Sunday Sept 7th, it's our monthly Rock'n'Roll Rent Party. And once again it's at the APK here in sleepy London Ontario. London's only pub rock band, The Mongrels are the resident band and this time the guests are Westminster Park, local duo who have released a couple of LP's (yep, vinyl) over the course of the last few years. This event starts at 3PM in the afternoon and runs until 7PM so you can recover enough to go back to work the next day. And local pain in the ass whatwave dave is the MC for this event, but don't let that keep you away. Here's a facebook link for the event:
