The Crazy Train – Chat with Sammie X Regarding the Local Metal & Punk Scene Survey

Posted on by Posted in The Crazy Train

A couple months ago, Sammie X and the Fredericton Metal page on Facebook put together a survey about the local / regional Metal & Punk scene and many of you participated in this survey, which gleaned very important information to not only the musicians, but bar owners and gig promoters.

Sammie X has been an integral part of the local Metal & Punk Rock scene for a great many years and it was an honour to have her come in to the Crazy Train and sit down and talk about the survey’s findings and just to shoot the shit about our local Metal & Punk scene.

The Crazy Train Episode #CXVI

Posted on by Posted in The Crazy Train

On Episode #116, I finished off the second part of the Maritime Metal & Hard Rock festival showcase of bands and also dropped the question for the last ‘weekend pass’ that you can still win!

On the Crazy Train Facebook page, the first person to name TWO bands playing this years MM&HR fest will win themselves a weekend pass (worth $60- Camping NOT included)! I have already given one away to our winner last weekend.

And coming up, I’ve got two tickets to PEI’s ‘Rock The Boat’ courtesy of Aaron Scott’s Earthquake who’ll be shaking the boat this Summer, so be sure to tune in for that ticket give away!

Also on this episode, Sammie X and I sat down to talk about the recent Local Metal Scene poll that she put together and that many of you participated in. The conversation, which lasted nearly an hour, was one of the most pertinent and important discussions I think I’ve had on the Crazy Train. The chat will be included in the podcast and I will also be pod-casting it separately for those who just want to hear the conversation.

Because of that convo with Sammie, the show, musically, is a bit shorter than normal!

Here’s the play list for episode #116:

Hour 1: Crazy Train – Ozzy| Apollo Court – Dark Sky Parks| Stare At The Moon – Electric Spoonful| Just Another Outcast – Generation Idiot| Space Station 69 – Keith Doom & The Wrecking Crew| Speak No Evil – Winterhearth| Nothing Survives – Spinesplitter| Conjuring Annihilation – Spinesplitter| Call Of the Valkyrie – Spinesplitter

What’s CHSR Listening To? 2017-06-30

Posted on by Posted in What Is CHSR Listening To?
Erin Bond – Station Manager/Host of Homemade Jams (Mon-Thurs 4pm), Her Turn (Tuesdays 7pm) and Anything Goes (Saturdays 9pm)
Mise en Scene‘s Still Life On Fire has taken over my stereo. David R. Elliott‘s new release, Strawberry Grass, is amazing too. I’ll also mention Dance Movie‘s Pierce that just arrived into the station. Loving the track “Nosebleed”.
Mark Kilfoil – Program Director/Host of The Lunchbox (weekdays at noon), The Weird Show (Saturdays 9am) and CAFFEEN! (Saturdays 8am)
I’ve been feeding my love for audio dramas and actual-play D&D, so it’s a lot of TANIS, Rabbits, Archive 81, The Vault and Sneak Attack. For tunage, I’ve been scatter-reviewing my collection recently, but I recently picked up the deadmau5 album W:/2016ALBUM/ and spun it several times, as well as the fantastic full-length The Traveller by Elephant Skeletons.
Tammie Hayward – Host of Instant Breakfast (weekdays 8am) and De-Railed (Fridays 4pm)
My album pick of the week is The Mae Trio‘s Take Care Take Cover. Gorgeous vocals and harmonies, great songwriting and musicianship  from this mesmerizing trio . I liken them to the The Wailin’ Jennys with a little Oh Pep (also from Melbourne).
Chris Waddell – Music Director/Host of The Crazy Train (Saturday 6pm)

Spinesplitter‘s Conjuring Annihilation! Fredericton’s favorite blackened death metal band returns with a fire ridden furnace blast to the face! All killer no filler!

What Is CHSR Listening To? 2017-06-25

Posted on by Posted in General, What Is CHSR Listening To?

What is CHSR listening to?

Roger Jean – Host of Rosie Morning weekdays 7am-8am; and @Rosie’s Juke Joint Saturday 8pm

Pokey Lafarge‘s Manic Revelations. A fun listen from start to finish. Playful lyrics and a great traditional roots sound with a very nice horn section. A great offering from a veteran artist who has found his road tested formula for writing and performing great songs.

 

Chris Waddell – Music Director and host of The Crazy Train Saturdays 6pm-8pm.

Hero’s Last Rite‘s Wasted Prayer. The title track from their latest release sets the tone for the entire album and that tone is a sonic assault!

 

 

Tammie Hayward – Host of Instant Breakfast weekdays 8am-9pm and De-Railed Fridays 4pm.

India‘s first self titled release from this fantastic band out of St. John’s NFL. Indie rock/pop. All around great release from this band. Also Whitehorse‘s Panther in the Dollhouse!!!!

 

 

Erin Bond – Station Manager and host of Homemade Jams Mon-Thurs 4pm, Her Turn Tuesdays 7pm, and Anything Goes Saturdays 9pm. 

I’ve been fortunate to listen to a lot of great albums this week, one that really stood out was Portugal. The Man‘s new album Woodstock. Other recent albums I can’t stop listening to are Take A Rest from TORA and The Damn Truth‘s Devilish Folk. Lee-La’s vocals are a force strong enough to frighten you and fall in love with at the same time.

Bondo chats with Logan Colter – JR and The Hippies!

Posted on by Posted in Homemade Jams

June 23, 2017 – Logan Colter popped by the CHSR studios to chat about 2 upcoming shows June 30th for Canada Day 150. Late night you’ll find Mrs. Hippie rocking out at The Capital with Kill Chicago, but earlier in the evening in Officer’s Square Mrs. Hippie will be backing Fredericton singer/songwriter Jaclyn Reinhart while opening for Canadian music stars I Mother Earth! Plus, get more details on JR and The Hippies!

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

 

We are back from the random hiatus caused by real life! Don’t worry, escape into this land of misinformation and self-entitlement by enjoying music for free by opening up those ear holes and accepting the word of song into your life!

That came off way more preachy than funny, but I’m going to allow it because I refuse to apologize for anything.

Solid tracks from the darkest, deepest depths of my archive. Or, maybe I just decided to put all of my music on one giant playlist, hit shuffle, and pull a bunch of tracks out to play this week.

Don’t judge! After seven years, I have a massive collection now. Enjoy!

Playlist:
Young Rival – Got What You Need
Freeze the Atlantic – Welcome Back To Nibelheim
The Holy Snappers – Straight To Hell / Ain’t Got A Dollar
The Pack AD – Los Angeles
Lionsault – Reckless
Rockyard – Don’t Come Back
Hot Wires – Howling
Napalmpom – What Do You Want Me To Say
Grim Dylan – Sea Sick
The Creepshow – Sinners And Saints
Fit For Rivals – Agent Orange
Arcane Saints – Juniper
Vulture Kult – Cyanide Hand Grenades
Bellusira – Cachango
Thera – With Frozen Lungs

Rory Taillon LIVE in Studio D – CHSR Sessions

Posted on by Posted in Sessions @ CHSR


May 26, 2017 – Ottawa based singer/songwriter Rory Taillon radiates power. Whether it’s through his tall stature or through his soaring voice, when Rory Taillon is nearby he’ll unknowingly steal your attention. 

It’s early morning and even though Rory has already spent an hour live on-air he’s gracious enough to give another live performance in Studio D with Bondo. Together they chat about the festival he’s in town for, his love of craft breweries, and of course about his music and life on the road. Oh, and we’re treated to a Damien Rice cover! 

Treat your ears and listen in.

The Lunchbox Interview: Len Falkenstein & Tilly Jackson (Bard In The Barracks)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

“Yet this my comfort: when your words are done,
My woes end likewise with the evening sun.”– A Comedy of Errors

My guests today are Len Falkenstein, Artistic Director of Bard in the Barracks, and Tilly Jackson, an actress involved in both productions for this year. Bard in the Barracks is the annual celebration and performance of Shakespeare’s plays, back again this year with a stupendous double bill: A Comedy of Errors and Richard III. We chat about each of the plays featured this year, about the challenges of staging two plays (on the same day, in one case!) and the approach for staging these classics.

Bard in the Barracks begins with the presentation of A Comedy of Errors in the Barracks, opening on June 22 and runs most nights until July 2; the production of Richard III in Odell Park starts fully on June 30, and runs until July 9. A new feature this year is the double features of both plays, featured on June 25 and July 2!
