Just a reminder about this show. Tickets are available through both local bands, as well as myself. Once they are gone, it's $20 at the door.
Come support a couple bands that are a long way from home, as well as two of Regina's homegrown talents.

This show really pisses me off. For the record, Gallows is a favourite of Jason (RRB) and Barnburner is a favourite of Mitch (RRB) and all of Black Thunder. So when we heard about this show both bands really wanted to play. When we heard BK was doing the show, we knew there would be slim chances of us playing cause I think he's scared of our bands, but Mitch sent a message anyway seeing if we could. We were told that the touring bands themselves were picking the bands, which seems ridiculous in itself that a touring band would pick local bands to support a show in a scene they know nothing about, and I guess they "picked" BK's favourite watery 2000's era pop punk/emo bands.
I'm not saying we should get to play every show that we want to play, or that I know what's best for each show, but I sense something fishy here, which sucks because about 30 people I talked to would have loved to see RRB/BT open this. We are very passionate about our art, and this could have been a good opportunity for us to pour some of that passion into this show, and also to mix some people up, maybe even make friends as we share the common goal of making each show the best it can be. At LEAST Black Thunder, the only band even remotely close to sounding like Barn Burner in the city. I hope that once again we all weren't screwed into a less awesome show by a petty promoter with personal issues.
But seeing as this is being billed as "Wade Whatshisnuts of that washed up emo band's new band" and not "seminal UK hardcore/rock n roll act and blistering rock n roll opener" means those involved probably don't have a clue.

For the record, I sent fb pages, sound cloud, and bandcamp pages for all the bands that said they were interested in playing. Again, I never chose the bands, and yes, Mitch did message me, and I told him that I would put in a good word for a band of similar style, but these were the bands they chose. If I had it my way, I would have chosen band that would have fit the bill the best. Seems that ticket sales and high profile shows were more what the agent wanted.
To any of the guys in any of the bands that really wanted to play this, and never messaged me, please message me in the future about shows. I always like getting a chance to work with different bands.

Also, I'm not a fan of Hours, nor am I really that big a fan of Empire Choir's music. Nice guys, but the music just isn't my kinda thing.

I'm pretty new here and I don't like to judge but this Brad kid seems like a total jerk off Monique, I really don't think I'm a bad person, or a jerk off... Some people in this city just don't like me for some reason or another that is a complete mystery to me. |

That's interesting...as a lot of Regina types think that I'm a mystery.

And I think it's stupid that touring bands would want to pick their own local openers. I would tell them to fuck off.
