The CrazyTrain Episode #XX
Milestone Episode! We’ve got 20 Crazy Trains under our belt and we could not have done without all your help!
In Episode #20 Johnny James interviews Tactus and Steve ‘The Buzz Man’ Dunnett and I interview Classic Rock cover band (and close friends) ‘Alter Ego’.
I recap the first Wasteland Zombies show they played on Friday Nov. 28th and play some bands performing in Halifax for the 3rd annual Metal ‘Fest, which included our hometown guys ‘Hero’s Last Rite’.
We had a few requests, no give away’s this week.
We were going to do a Dimebag Darryl tribute show this coming weekend, but we’re postponing it until the weekend of December 13th. So stay tuned for that and so much more, on the Crazy Train!!

I rather wish we were all connected telepathically, in our dreams…
That would mean that nightmares were probably someone else’s fault, and did not originate within my own mind.

The Lunchbox Interview: Chris Waddell of The Wasteland Zombies
Have you every had to stop doing something you love, because life circumstances change?
I think a lot of people go through this, especially when they are in their twenties. But, if we’re lucky, we’ll get a chance to get back to it.
All it takes is heart.
Chris Waddell joins me on the show today. He’s currently the Music Director of CHSR-FM, but he joined me for a much different reason: he’s got the band together! Chris is the lead singer of The Wasteland Zombies (Facebook), a band which was put on a 20-year hiatus and now has come back. We talk about how the band came to be in the first place, how it come to return, and what it’s like to be the singer of a metal band.
The Wasteland Zombies (Reverb Nation) are having their first reunion show on Friday, November 28 at The Oromocto Legion, 284 Restigouche Rd. They’ll be joined by Fallen Pawns & Moment of Inertia. Show starts at 9pm.
Today’s Music:
- Push Ahead by Bill Wood & The Woodies from the album Oh Look.
- The Wasteland Zombies with Spread Your Wings from their tape, The Town Fair.

The Lunchbox 2014-11-27
I’m another victim of the latest storm: my power was flickering for about two hours before it finally went out around midnight.
So, a sleepy Thursday, but for some it’s the day to remember Pins and Needles. It sounds like what happens when you fall asleep on your arm and it wakes up, but it’s actually about a Pro-Labour theatrical production on Broadway. Who knew?
Another recap of events on the show, plus music:
- The Heavy Blinkers with I Should Be Sleeping from the album Health;
- Garbage Man by The Stogies from their recent album, Hoot;
- and from his album The Hardest Part Is You May Never Know, we heard Paul Cargnello‘s song, Boots Stomping.

The Lunchbox 2014-11-26: Cake Day!
Happy Wednesday!
It happens to be Cake Day today, and that raises an interesting conundrum: if you serve cake for special days, do you serve cake on Cake’s special day? Cuz cake IS cake, and would it be special for cake to get cake?
Alright, maybe that’s a bit too philosophical for a day about cake, but these are the things that cross my mind..
Lots of events today, many turning to a Christmas theme! And music:
- Buck 65 (featuring Tiger Rosa) with Only War from the album, Neverlove,
- The Dead Projectionists with Just After The Flood Comes from the album Detractor.

The Lunchbox 2014-11-25
It may feel just like every other Tuesday, but it’s an important day to remember, to decide to act and improve. In particular, it’s the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. We need to work together, and keep ever vigilant, and provide support to those victims and the supporters of victims.
On a less serious note, it’s also apparently Christmas Shopping Day (only a month left!) and Parfait Day (have a treat, or treat someone who needs it!).

- Chin Injeti with Wherever We Go Tonight from The Reverb

The Lunchbox 2014-11-24
This is the first of a new experiment: podcasting the Lunchbox every day!
We cover a lot of events and play some great music on The Lunchbox, but I know that not everyone can experience it live each day.
To fix that, I’m going to start podcasting the show every day for a while. Let me know if this is appreciated, or if you want me to go back to the previous policy of podcasting interviews only.

- Earth Bound Trio with Straight Ahead from Lettuce Turnip the Beet

Fantastic show! We had on our good friend Tyson Davidson former growler for Fredericton’s ‘Anesthesia’. Tyson brought in some of his favorite indie Metal acts from Canada to play.
In the second hour we had a few requests, some new Slipknot, Smashing Pumpkins, Arch Enemy, Slayer and much more!
Thanx again to Tyson for coming in and making it a great show! Expect lots more from local guests to sit in on the show. I’ll have them bring in some of their favorite up and coming Canadian Indie Metal acts!
I’ll try to get the ‘Play List’ up ASAP!
Peace, until next week! Keep it Metal – Oh and because I can 🙂 Don’t forget to come out THIS Friday to the Oromocto Legion on Restigouche rd to catch the VERY first Wasteland Zombies show in 20 years!! They’ll be joined by Fredericton powerhouse ‘Moment of Inertia’ and Oromocto destroyer’s ‘Fallen Pawns’! Show starts at 10PM and admission is only $5.! It’s a way out of town, but it’ll be worth it, I promise!
