It's funny when he smashes into things - I can't stop watching it. Thanks to Jess for the link.

Eli Escobar interview

Great interview with Eli Escobar over at the TTL blog. Good read, classy dude. Have a look and learn why he likes Batman more than Superman.

BEYOND POSSESSION

The new Smalltown Romeo banner makes me think of Beyond Possession, the legendary Calgary thrash band from the 80s. Calgary noobs do your homework, Beyond Possession was one of the most important bands to come out of our fair city. They played super fast and tight and they always had great gory artwork (I think Pushead drew stuff for them?). If you pushed a skateboard in Calgary in the 80s, you knew about em. OK that's your history lesson, now check out the sick handdrawn aesthetics of these flyers.

Banffed

Joanna Magic aka Sausage Fangz took some great pics (VIEW THEM HERE) at our Banff show on Friday night. It was a glorious evening. Thanks to Jordan and all the Hoodoo staff, see you next time.

SPECTOR CONVICTED

Super influential, mentally unhinged Wall of Sound producer Phil Spector was convicted of second degree murder yesterday. Let's take a moment to celebrate the musical genius of this complete lunatic.


The Crystals - 'Da Doo Ron Ron Ron' (1963, #3)




The Ronettes - 'Be My Baby' (1963, #2)



Ike & Tina Turner - 'River Deep - Mountain High' (1966, #88)

START THE NIGHT OFF RIGHT

Last Night we opened for the Bloody Beetroots and Steve Aoki.

Things got heavier later in the night but the first hour was pretty
smooth. Bloody Beetroots were relentless. Really well done.
Something about the shhhtick that just locks the people in. Anyhow
this is just part of 'our' set early in the night while people were arriving.
Enjoy the mix.

SMALLTOWN DJS OPENING FOR BLOODY BEETROOTS + AOKI PT.1 APRIL 12/09
