How legendary is the Legendary Long Weekend series? Well, Vancouver promotion crew Intimate Productions have been throwing the first rate bashes for 8 years. And while they usually try to showcase local Vancouver DJs and artists, they're occasionally tempted with truly international acts they can't refuse. Some of the highlights from past LLW parties include Booka Shade, DJ T, Matthew Dear aka Audion, Z-Trip, Carl Craig and Kevin Saunderson. This Thursday, Nov.10th the party is LAST CALL FOR 2011 and is hosted at the spectacular Waldorf Hotel which is easily the best venue I've been too [...]
Nothing quite like digging an old record out of a cellar wall, eh? This new video by Minneapolis' self-evident is an interesting storyline beginning to end... or is it end to beginning? I don't know - just watch and decide for yourself. "The Past" is another video brought to us by our friends over [...]
Our friends over at Northern Outpost just posted a second video of live footage they shot at self-evident's show back in January at Sauce. The song performed is "Cloudless." See Northern Outpost's first self-evident installment HERE.
Our pals over at Northern Outpost just threw up some live footage they recorded of Minneapolis' self-evident. Great stuff as always. Self-evident plays tonight at the 501 Club with The Yoleus, Guzzlemug, and Power of 2. Links self-evident - Website / Myspace Northern Outpost - Website
Do you remember a time when the term "Emo" wasn't a four-letter word? The term was associated with bands that made artistically aware punk rock with emotional underpinnings. That was before the term was stretched to include a wide range of not-quite-punk, not-quite-pop bands like Jimmy Eat World and My Chemical Romance. Bands like Jawbox and ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead who
