A Day At the Island of Rock
Well the day started with a drinking session in the parking lot with Dirty T and then we were soon aboard a ferry floating towards an island of rock. This was a day of indie music at its finest. The day started with a performance by FEIST on of the most rockin' female singers I have seen in a long time. Then came the best part in my opinion BLOC PARTY from England. These guys made a four piece band sound like a 15 piece band. Vocals are all you can think with this band.....Amazing...definatley check these guys out, i'm sure you will see plenty more from them. Lastly BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE, came out with a 20 piece band and blew the show out. I havn't been to such a fun show in years, totally the feeling of a sixties Grateful Dead, Haight Ashbury jam session. I will see ya on Olympic Island next summer for another great time on the Island of Rock!
Cheers

RINGO STARR
Well I now can finally say I have seen a Beatle. A couple nights ago I went and saw Ringo Starr and his All Star Band
at Casino Rama. The musicians in his band were Billy Squier on Guitar, Hammish on Bass, Edgar Winter on Sax and piano, Rod Argent (from the Zombies) on keyboards and Sheila E on Drums and off course Ringo on vocals as well as drums. It was a really fun show and I would suggest if you have the opportunity to check him out do it. The pictures are a little fuzzy as you can imagine how hard it is to sneak a picture in a Casino .
Long Live the Beatles
Cheers
