Last Night, I had the pleasure of hosting a Battle of The Bands at The Alex P. Keaton here in London, Ontario. There were four groups (Who's Chad?, The Early Risers, Flophouse, and The Radio Cure) who shredded many licks that melted many faces, but only one band could be crowned as the ultimate rockers. When all was said and done, it was The Radio Cure (I wonder if they're named after the Wilco song?), with their Indie/Classic Rock stylings who took home the top prize. They ended their set with a 7 minute fuzzed out guitar rambling much akin to something Built To Spill would do. The crowd was thoroughly impressed. Also, they were originally from Sarnia, so it was good to see a hometown band makin' good in the medium city. All in all, the music was loud, the beer was cold, and the smiles were plenty; and as well as getting a chance to let loose for a couple hours, we were able to raise $500.00 for The Canadian Cancer Society. Stay tuned for my interview with The Western Gazette... if the chick who's doing it ever gets around to calling me. I think she's nervous about the competition my blog might bring! Watch out now, this thing is blowin' up!
