Saturday Night Special

Just a reminder that Bishop Morocco (a band that I play guitar in) will be playing its very first show on Saturday night at Whippersnapper Gallery.

Josh Reichmann will be opening up; Jaime Sin and Mikey Apples will be DJing throughout the night. The live music starts at about 11. Short sets, so don't be late.

Also, there's a nice little blurb about the band in Now -- read it here.

Bishop Morocco

Since I seem to love talking about myself so much on here, I thought I might as well tell you kids about the band Bishop Morocco. My friends Jake Fairley (ex-Uncut and current techno superstar) and James Sayce (who was in The Deadly Snakes and Tangiers) decided to live in Gronigen and make a record. Said record is really good and will be coming out on Hand Drawn Dracula sometime in the near future.

They asked me to (or maybe I forced them to let me) play some guitar in the live version of the band, which is now the three of us and a big dancehall style soundsystem in lieu of a drummer.

We're playing for the first time on July 11 at Whipper Snapper in Toronto. Although I'm quite nervous about it, I still want you to come out and see us play.

Mondays

I used to have a regular Tuesday night with my friend Greg where we played records and drank beers at Sweaty Betty. Lots of people seemed to like it and it was fun to do. Well, we're doing the same thing again, except this time it's on Monday nights and it's at Red Light.

You should come out sometime.

Your Uncut Urban Planner

Friday April 17: We're playing at The Boat (in Kensington Market) at 10:30 pm. It's PWYC ... we're hoping that you can pay $1,000, but we'll settle for $5.

Saturday April 18: It's Record Store Day! Head on over to your favourite record store (in Toronto I suggest Frantic City or Rotate This, but that's just me) and buy some stuff. If you live in the UK you should go buy the Darkhorse EP on sweet 7" vinyl (actually, you should buy five copies and mail four of them to us).

Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

Great review of the Japandroids record Post-Nothing in today's Now -- four Ns -- along with a plug for the show on Saturday (although they call it a day show ... it's not).

Well done chaps!

Halloween

If I don't say so myself, Derek and I really killed it ...
