40oz To Freedom - Sublime Tribute

Yayyyy, so Wednesday November 3rd is coming fast! 40oz To Freedom will be performing at Lee's Palace and we can all count on an amazing show as usual. This will be my third 40oz show and im very excited because I always enjoy celebrating the original Sublime with others who love them as much as I do! The guys of 40oz are Dane Scott, Mark Leblanc, and Terry Davis. Their energy on stage is wicked and they always make sure to play my favourite song STP when i'm at the show :) So come out on Wednesday if you can, you won't be disappointed! For those of you who don't make it i'll be sure to write about how the show went at the end of the week so check back in :) 

One Love!

Reggae Show a Success!

Alriiiiight, so last Saturday (Oct.16) was the reggae show at Lee's Palace (one of my favee venues) with the bill - Staylefish, Street Pharmacy, Walk Off The Earth, Two Crown Kings but there were some wicked special guests too! Staylefish were pretty rad, unfortunately Jay (previous lead singer) was at the show but did not perform with them :( howeverrrrr he DID perform with WOTE! Street Pharmacy put on a bomb show with their new bassist as well, adding in tons of their awesome old reggae jams and a few newer songs from their newest album where they have diverted to a bit more of a rock sound similar to Jimmy Eat World. Apparently their old bassist came up for a song but i was somehow unaware..ahem...lol. WOTE was amazinggggg as usual, having their friends from The Johnstones play brass and Jay Duwyn (former Staylefish) on the mic for a couple songs as well! Not to mention at the end they had tons of the nights performers join them such as Dreddie from Staylefish. I did not stay for Two Crown Kings so i'd love some feedback on how they were! It was an awesome night and I definitely suggest all bands to reggae lovers around the world. 

Until we meet again, one love!

The Casbys 2010

Hey Everyone!

I'm new here, so check out my other sites for more of my info at the top of this page as well as this one. Alright so i checked out the casbys last night and stayed for about half of the show. Hot Hot Heat played first, starting off strong! Next was my man Ko who rocked the house hard as usual! i can't wait to see what he does next, because if he keeps up with his grounded-indie status i think he's gonna revolutionize a lot in the music world..I'm all for keeping your roots! After seeing him, who i went to the show for, ended up catching the end of Elias and a few songs by The Trews who were pretty rad as well :) after that we ended up leaving to go to the Vapour Lounge where a supppper wicked comedy show was going and they were actually funny this time!
Check out Ko's facebook - facebook.com/konationmusic to see some casby vids with me in them!! anyways, in class listening to my teacher convincing us to create as many websites as possible to promote ourselves and our bands so i gotta bounce! live music, love music, and cherish music!
one love,
Alanna
