fredericton creep catchers

I’m looking forward to speaking with members of the Fredericton Chapter of Creep Catchers.  If you have kids with access to the internet, you may want to tune in tomorrow morning at the 7:30 mark of Rosie Morning for a very important and serious discussion about online safety and what people in our community are doing to protect our children from online predators.

The Crazy Train Episode #CI

First show of 2017! This show was only an hour long because of the hockey game at 7PM.

I put together what I call ‘Then & Now’, what will be a series of shows (probably on hockey game nights) that will highlight a Metal band that’s been around a long time with a library spanning over the years. We started out with the early albums of bands  Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer and then played some of the newest tracks by these bands.

So the next “hockey” weekend we’ll try another round of ‘Then & Now’. But next weekend January 14th, I’ll welcome on my first band of 2017: The mighty Cable Crusher!! It’ll be the guys first appearance on the show, so expect a wild one! Plus music from District Avenue, Engage the Threat, Tactus, Aftershock and much more! 6-8PM!

Here’s the playlist for ‘Then & Now’:

Crazy Train – Ozzy | Star Breaker – Judas Priest | Redeemer of Souls – Judas Priest | Hit the Lights  – Metallica | Moth Into Flame – Metallica | The Prisoner – Iron Maiden | Speed of Light –  Iron Maiden | Last Rites, Love You To Deth – Megadeth | Dystopia – Megadeth | Black Magic – SLAYER| Implode – SLAYER

And that’s it, short and sweet!

Be sure to tune in next weekend to hear what those crazy bastards from Cable Crusher are up to!

I’ve got plans to have a lot more bands joining me on the show this year as well as trying to keep ya’s all in the loop about the Metal festivals coming up this Summer.

If you’re in a band, got a new album, new single, know of a band, want to promote your band, tell me about an up coming festival or show, then email me at: crazytrainchsrATgmail.com and we’ll certainly get ya’s on the air!

If I don’t play your band, don’t mention your show or festival it’s because I don’t know about it, so be sure to email me the deets!

Keep it METAL!

CHSR 97.9FM’s 2017 Barry Awards Fan Vote!

Thanks for voting! Polls are now closed. Winners announced January 22nd!

It’s that time of year again, for YOU to show YOUR support for your favourite CHSR show and host!

 

Legend tells it, in 1960 a young Barry Yoell attended a conference in Toronto about radio. Enthused by that conference, and after a lot of generous donations and hard work, the campus/community radio station that now bears the name CHSR was born in early 1961.

To honour that hard work and the legacy of great radio that Mr. Yoell started, the Barry Awards were created on January 22, 1971 (The 10th Anniversary). Each year, we award the best shows and hosts and show our appreciation for the work that they do — and we want the audience to have a say!
