Never send a man to do a nerd's job

Hey, welcome to the first(ish) official CHRW post.

Hopefully this will be a forum for people at the station to fill you in on cool (or not so cool) stuff going on at the station, campus, London, and rest of the world. And who better to start it off then the nerd who wastes the most time updating his own blog? I'm Jon from the show Sonic Reducer (Fridays 3:30-6:00 pm) and I just wanted to start the blog ball rolling by posting some stuff about some bands that are playing in town this weekend.

The Forgotten Rebels are playing Call the Office Saturday (Nov 26). I don't know if it is because they are Can Con or what but Forgotten Rebels are the second punk band I ever heard (some guys from England were the first. I can't remember what they are called something with Pistols). A kid I met skateboarding gave me a mixed tape and track one was Surfin' on Heroin which I thought was pretty rad at the time (this was 86-87 people still used the word rad). Ah, good times, good times. Anyway, the band is playing with The Legend Killers, The Nasty Rash, Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants. Tickets are $14 advance (Speed City) and $15 at the door. Should be a night of some old school punk rock fun, I mean check out the picture: swastikas and the finger, could it get anymore hardcore?
Need more info check out the official Forgotten Rebels site

When ever I announce who is playing on a particular weekend on the show I tend to forget the Embassy. I really have no excuse for this, and I feel kind of bad about it. The Embassy has been a big supporter of local bands and have really been involved in the whole burgeoning southern Ontario hardcore/screamo scene that is taking off. Saturday night (Nov 26) the Embassy is hosting 7 bands for the low price of $5. Hillbilly Bugger Boys are releasing their new CD and playing with a whole wack of people including: Let's Get Steve, The Black Donnellys, 32nd Degree, Grayline, 68Pornomags and societal hemmorage (thats a lot of linkage).

So take your pick; old punks at CTO or young punks at The Embassy. Maybe they will have a Warriors-esk rumble somewhere around Adelaide St.

Man, that would be rad.
