RFYL Episode – WhyEP42

Posted on by Posted in Run For Your Life!

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

 

On this week’s episode, we are almost scary but otherwise the same as usual while providing new tracks for your listening pleasure. See? I can provide. I even used the word “provide” three times in the past three sentences.

I have nothing further to say that’s witty, though I do recommend that you chase after these new releases because artists should be paid for their work. Do it! Provide!

 

Playlist:
Anything Left For Me – Double Fuzz
Wild Woman – Sleep Machine
Shaker Down – The Standstills
What For – The Joy Formidable
Dark Matter – Kilmore
Get In The Van / Industry Woes – We Hunt Buffalo
Skeleton – A Primitive Evolution
Skeleton Suit – Die So Fluid
The Siren Song – Side Effects
Summoner – Striker (CAN)
My Precious War – the black frame spectacle
The Broadcasters – Sumo Cyco

The Lunchbox Interview: Alex Rioux (Fruit Machine)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

It takes a real artist to take the ugliness of the world and turn it into beautiful art, art that might still be ugly but has meaning.

My guest today is Alex Rioux, director and co-creator of Fruit Machine, a movement-based theatre piece looking at the attitudes, turmoil and impact of the RCMP’s questionable practices that targeted the LGBTQ+ community during the 50’s and 60’s. Alex joined me to talk about what inspired him to create this piece, the process of creating physical theatre, and the impact the material had on him.

Fruit Machine, along with another Solo Chicken Productions production, PIG, will be shown on November 1 at 7:30pm at the Open Space Theatre, 55 Whiting Road.

Okay, so who’s been counting the amount of times “Monster Mash” has played on the radio this month? Also, who has Christmas decorations up already?

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

 

Sorry for skipping an episode but when you get miserably sick there’s a barely acceptable level of “nasal” that one can provide for the radio. So, here we are again, back to the bat and ready to provide all the tracks you need to get through the work week and/or work weekend.

We continue to cover new releases, make random assumptions as to what everyone’s weekend plans are, and otherwise refer to ourselves as a royal “We” at the beginning of this sentence.

Playlist:

What It Takes – Dead Sara [Official]
Down to the Bottom – Dorothy
Dawn to Dusk – Kilmore
I Miss – Diemonds
Close Your Eyes / Echo – A Primitive Evolution
Kick It Around – the black frame spectacle
Burl – Worst Part
Another Plane – Sergeant Thunderhoof
Lightning Comes Again – Ruby the Hatchet
Afterglow – Puta Volcano
Wanna Don’t Wanna – Reignwolf
Caught on a Breeze – The Joy Formidable

A little over a year ago, I gave my first tour of this wonderful city of shiny music, neon, and the brilliant lights shining from the artists that make this city such a beauty to behold and withstand. The Electric Metropolis Tourism Authority has had the privilege of welcoming guests from around the world, giving a home to music both razor-sharp new and polished with age classic. In the last year we have had the pleasure to speak with: coda, Jeff Ball, James Landino, Ben Briggs, Dana Jean Phoenix, Louie Aronowitz, Rozen, The Travelers VGM, Cody Carpenter, Mark Day, Dale North, Kommisar, Lemkuuja, Norihiko Hibino, Jayson Napolitano, The Hit Points, & Aloe Island Posse. To them all, a million thanks for visiting The Electric Metropolis and being instrumental in making such music that brings this city of sound alive.

Thanks this year goes out to Matt Nightengale of Run For Your Life for encouraging me to come onto the radio waves and share all this wonderful music with you! Thanks also goes out to Jayson Napolitano and Scarlet Moon Productions for arranging many of the interviews and music for the VGM district! Finally, thank you my beautiful tourists for coming to visit all year and listening to what the city has to offer.

The Lunchbox Interview: Sarah Sarty, Penny Heather, Alison Veino (SHE)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Art provides us with a way to reflect ourselves in ways that cannot normally be seen, only experienced. Since it can be shared, it is a form of telepathy.

My guests today are three of the artists involved in a new exhibition called SHE: A Contemporary Art Show Inspired by Femininity. It opens Friday, October 21 at 5pm in the gallery in Suite 260 downtown at 384 Queen St. Joining me were Sarah Sarty (photographer), Penny Heather (painter/artist) and Alison Veino (painter). They share their enthusiastic inspiration for exploring multiple varied aspects of “femininity” in different medium.

The exhibition is open all weekend, and includes a silent, blind auction. Visit to see stunning art, and even take some home with you!
