These guys are good, real good. PJC presents THE UNITED STEELWORKERS OF MONTREAL Also featuring: LORI YATES (Winner Best Songwriter and Best Alt Country Album~2007 Hamilton Music Awards) @ Pepper Jack's--9:30pm--AA/LIC--$8 http://www.uswm.ca http://www.myspace.com/unitedsteelworkersofmontreal http://www.loriyates.com THE UNITED STEEL WORKERS OF MONTREAL, having laid their claim to a plot of musicdom just east of Alt-Country, forged themselves a unique sound that has been described as "rousing, old style cowboy punk with an urban edge" Undeniable musical virtuosity as well as the band's forceful presence and always endearing stage banter have helped propel The USWM to become one of Montreal's top live acts. The Steel Workers' debut album, Broken Trucks and Bottles, was recorded at the UHW Studio in Montreal, which was founded by band member Gern f. and has become a recording hub for many of the same bands USWM has played alongside in the Montreal music scene. The album mixes original songs written by Gern f. and Shawn 'Gus' Beauchamp with a few covers of independent bands that have inspired USWM along the way. Kerosene & Coal is the second album by Montreal’s kings of citygrass, The United Steel Workers of Montreal. Showing how raucous and affecting this blues-y, urban, alt-country band can be, the songs on Kerosene & Coal start from the grit of Montreal’s south-west neighbourhoods before tearing down truck routes to move past highway pit stops for gas-station melodramas and back-road drag races, with a bank robbery thrown in for good measure. Well stocked with twelve 80-proof tracks that explore true love (both requited and the other kind), the fringes of the workaday life, love’s desperation, redemption, and the camaraderie of a neighbourhood bar at last call, Kerosene & Coal handily captures the infectious draw of The United Steel Workers of Montreal.

Tonight!!

excuse the shameless plug, but Jay you should check out the United Steelworkers of Montreal in a couple weeks. They rip the city-grass well.

Tonight at PJC is where it at.

Yep, this friday.

Yeah, we'll show the Grateful Dead Movie this monday at PJC. starting at 8pm. If there is time and a good turnout we'll follow it with Sunshine Daydream(1972 oregon creamery benefit show movie) which is I just discovered recently thru Phunky B. what a trip of a movie that is. free admission cheap beers!

Yes it's true, Frank Zappa's: Dub Room dvd and Magma's Feature: Theusz Hamtaahk-Trilogie will be shown at Pepper Jack's tonight on a big screen and hooked up to our PA. Magma starts at 8pm. Zappa's on at around 10ish. free of course.

IMO: That venue would do jack-shit for downtown. Hess village is not downtown. If it were actually built downtown then it would bring more people downtown. As t2 pointed out early, it is a couple blocks from downtown and that's the border of it not the heart. Buildings here(I'm downtown) will still be vacant, Out of towners will still be afraid to come downtown. That venue will make a successful area of hamilton even more successful. Why DV is suddenly turning to live music is definitely a bit questionable. I've never seen him come to a show at pepper jack's. I'd bet he's not checking out any shows at other live music venues in this city as well. Maybe we aren't booking the kind of music that he prefers and that is why he's planning to build a place that does book what the masses want to hear?? Maybe there are more people involved who do know something about the music industry that that spec article is not mentioning. I'm just speculating here. Or maybe.. With Fever nightclub now gone, there is a bit of a void for a large danceclub in this city. There's still 77 but it can't do that well because it is still in sketchy downtown(saracasm, I love downtown). How about a new fever style dance-club in an area that people aren't so afraid of going to. Maybe an already established area where that top 40 clubby type of person already frequents. Hmmm? Fever easily packed 800 people there every saturday night in the winter and they could have done a lot better if there was even more space and it was less crammed aaand not downtown. I smell a set up. A super club that will have big shows when possible/profitable but really just making another dance bar. A kool house comparison is probably more suiting then Massey Hall.

Dang! I did not realize I had the wrong date until now. Stupid stupid stupid!!!(to the action of me pounding my head) Also, yeah I'm starting to think this website should be called weusedtolikejambands.ca

That's exciting.
