Get ready to go to the Molson Amphitheatre this coming June 2nd! That’s right, Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction is playing at 7pm for all ages. This concert is going to be very unique as these two bands come together to share with us their talents in music.
Nine Inch Nails (NIN) is a one-man rock band founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor who writes, performs and produces all of the NIN materials and has won Grammy Awards for two of their recordings. In 1994 they appeared at Woodstock where they won second Grammy for Best Metal Performance. Since their inception NIN has sold over 20 million albums worldwide and is known for one of the most exciting bands to see live.
Illuminotics, who were only a bass player and vocals band shortly changed their name to Jane’s Addiction and afterwards introduced a guitarists and drummer. They have been recognized for years as an alternative rock band and in the 1990’s they became a hit wonder in America.
Be prepared to start your head banging! This event is going to be a mosh-pitting, beer drinking, skateboard-bmx’ing party to meet new people and listen to the hottest punk, emo, metal, rock and electronica music at The Vans Warped Tour’s 15th birthday. We’ll show them how we can rock it even harder than last year!
The Warped Tour has travelled through North America since 1994 setting up venues in fields, parking lots, halls and stadiums providing a variety of entertainment with bands playing different music genre. Vans, a shoe manufacturer, has sponsored Warped Tour since 1995 as an extreme sports and music festival with every tour having over 30 stages and roughly 100 bands that each play every half hour.
Starting on July 10th, 2009 The Vans Warped Tour will be kicking off in Toronto at the Arrow Hall and the next day will be moving to Montreal at the Parc Jean Drapeau. Then on August 14, 2009 they will travel to Vancouver at the Thunderbird Stadium.
Here’s a little clip of NoFX performing to give you a taste of Warped Tour at one of their venues:
For over 15 years the Warped Tour has been a place for many young adults to express their styles, interests and of course, to have a good time at this one of a kind festival.

This has yet to be the most varied and amazing show yet at The Foxx Lounge this Friday, May 8th, 2009! Why so much excitement? If you have ever been, then you know it is always a great time, but some outrageous talent will be gracing The Foxx Lounge stage for our entertainment.
Bands included this fabulous Friday are Mule Skinner, Two Bears and Meadowlark Five, quite the combination if you like to hear some musical styles that are not so often heard!
These bands truly define the idea of combining many styles they have enjoyed and making one great, new style of music that only they can reflect.
Mule Skinner is a duo from Niagra, ON who plays a great combination of some old blue grass and a kick of grunge. Band members Matt Davis and Damien Florio give it to ya with their vintage-turned-modernized sound many, of all ages, can find depth and enjoyment within. Check out some tunes here, and tell me you don’t love them. With numerous shows already booked this summer, it is best to see them before they are on the big stage, sold out!
Two Bears is yet another duo, one I am more then excited to absorb, personally. They truly take on the experimental vibe, as their band was formed out of pure experimentation. Two guys, a sudden idea, new skills, wicked. From what I hear, anyways. These guys are something new, for sure, with a suspenseful show to come!
The last talents to fancy our ears with much pleasure are Meadowlark Five, a group of seven individuals making up a harmonious, insightful sound. A love for such bands as Pink Floyd or Radiohead, with the various instrumentals and soft touch, you will thoroughly enjoy this set.
I am more than excited to be at this show and with any of the following tastes, so should you! Don’t miss out! The Foxx Lounge, presented by Shane Heath of One Star Studio, $5 and doors at 9:30 pm. Be there!
Grammy Award Winning and popular rock band No Doubt will be coming to the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Tuesday June 16th, 2009 at 8PM to perform live for Canadian fans. This is going to be an awesome show!
A little background history on No Doubt. In 1986 Gwen Stefani, the lead singer, was invited to be the top vocalist for the band. After opening shows for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ziggy Marley and Mano Negra they became a sensation for the college community and when releasing their hit album Tragic Kingdom they sold more than 16 million copies to date. Now, Stefani is a single artist today, but still has many tours with the No Doubt band.
