  1. For the Third Year in a row, the now Legendary Fried Dough Band returns for a one-night stand that has become a summer tradition. Paying tribute to Ween and the Talking Heads in the past, the band is not only a celebration of incredible music, but a celebration of what makes the live experience so special. True entertainers at heart, the Fried Dough Band works tirelessly to create the not-to-be-missed, and this year the dynamic posse returns with yet another jam-packed night of quirky entertainment. This summer's triple header kicks off with an adaptation of nineties lo-fi band, Pavement's cult classic album, Slanted and Enchanted (1992), performed live in its entirety. The band best known for bringing underground gems to life will hit the stage at ten o'clock on September 5th with their interpretation of Stockton, California indie rocker's, Pavement. Following the performance, The Legendary Fried Dough Band will regroup and return to the stage with a rock show from the future. For its third year, Fried Dough founder, Andrew Cariboni, has decided to include an original musical creation of his own. Following the completion of the soon to be released album, andru.09, which was arranged using solely guitars and a computer, the band has set out to create a unique stage show and experience to pay homage to the work. This is surely going to be a show not-to-be-missed. The third and final presentation will be hosted by local Toronto DJ, Rich Hope. Hope will hit the stage at midnight with a dance party that will go far into the next morning. His funky party music is enough to get anyone bouncing, regardless if they are indie rockers. Stick around for this one. Fried Dough has been known for throwing the wildest costumed late night parties at the end of their performances. This happens ONLY ONCE PER YEAR Definitely a rarity and something not to be missed for more info... www.frieddoughband.com www.andrewcariboni.com/

  3. Vanderpark will be.... At The Legendary HORSESHOE TAVERN This Friday July 4th, 2008 w/ Chinese Food and Trophy Post Canada Day Bash There is going to be some excellent Chinese Food and Trophy's to give out. So be ready and prepare for Ruckus. Deets... Vanderpark In the wake of their sophomore LP All Your Hands, Vanderpark is back with their latest effort Cherish Yesterday. Musically diverse and lyrically charged, Cherish Yesterday is jam packed with the newest sounds from the Toronto-based rockers. In contrast to their earlier years, dominated by rigorous touring, this amazing live quartet has grown studio savvy, retooling and refocusing on the music industry in the making of this LP. Boasting all the tricks in the Vanderpark bag, Cherish Yesterday is lush in musical texture as well as lyrical content. Heavy in themes of loss, regret, belonging and the things we think but don't say out loud, Cherish Yesterday is a look back to a time of chaos. Vanderpark has put it all on the line and plays it honestly and whole-heartedly, while offering a conscious and introspective outlook inspired by an era of struggle and growth. Wielding their two distinctive voices, singers/guitarists Dave Stulberg and Marcus Wong belt soaring harmonies, tightly woven around fist-pumping grooves created by rhythm section Hanaya Haddad and Alan Demsky. Vanderpark's live performances have captivated audiences all over Central and Eastern Canada and more recently through the United States. Relix Magazine has deemed them "A band on the verge", and in 2006 alone they performed over 100 headlining shows, thrilling audiences abroad. Keep a look out because Vanderpark will be rocking in a club near you. www.vanderpark.com Chinese Food Chinese Food has been writing and performing their own brand of rock and roll in Toronto since early 2006. Vigorous song writing and a fine tuned approach to their music have driven Chinese Food to be amoung the best of their class in the Canadian music scene. Garnering stong support from local promoters and a vibrant fane base has shown that Chinese Food "...can defintely please a crowd"(Exclaim! Magazine). Unique melodies and undeniably catchy rhythms make easy to "like Chinse Food immediately"(Exclaim Magazine). In 2007, Chinese food Released their first official independant recording effort, the self titled EP, CHINESE FOOD. The ep was highly reviewed in the Canadian music community and the band went to work on producing their first full-length album. Later in 2007 Chinese Foood was chosen to be a part of the prestigious North By North East festival in Toronto. The Festival was a great success for the band as they recieved a preview spot in NOW magazine and were named as Critics Picks art IndieMusicFilter.com. "Going on a whim for this band was one of the best decisions of the fest." (Exclaim Magazine, NXNE review) In 2008 Chinese Food was one of the busiest bands in the NXNE Festival, with the new recording "When The Future Caught On Fire ep" fresh off the press. The new ep is a four-song cd of selected material from the bands new full-length album coming in September '08. The album, titled "WHEN THE FUTURE CAUGHT ON FIRE" was mixed by acclaimed Toronto producer Adam King and mastered by Noah Mintz. Chinese Food's forward thinking nature inspired the decision to only release the album on vinyl and digital download cards, and NOT on compact disc. For more information about the band or their upcoming album www.chinesefoodmusic.com Trophy After holding up together in a converted Toronto townhouse for the best part of a year, Trophy emerged, blinking at the light, clutching an album of finely crafted, melodic rock songs. Born out of the Toronto music scene, Trophy’s self-titled debut album is both a study in contrast and a celebration of subtlety. The album as a body of work is uplifting yet thoughtful, exploring the darker side of life but refusing to be dragged down by it. The soundscape reflects the mood and lyrics of each song as powerful guitar riffs and furious drumming are tempered by soaring, chilled out vocals. “We took our time to make sure that the songs were treated properly,†says guitarist Phil Houston, “that the contrast was right and the subtlety was there to match the lyrics and vibe of each song.†The five band members that make up Trophy all have musical backgrounds with other bands on the Toronto music scene. After watching each other perform for a number of years, they have come together to form a new alliance: “This is a city album, a real Toronto record, born out of our musical communityâ€, bassist Peter Fusco reflects. The music on the album started out with a heavy-rock feel. The band sat and listened to the songs, analyzing them for a long time, before they finally began the production process: “We cranked the knobs, all of them, turned the black ones all the way up and then pulled them all back on every track,†singer/guitarist Kirt Godwin explains. What resulted was a softer, stripped-down, more dynamic sound. Reflective and uplifting, Trophy’s self-titled debut album is the soundtrack for the day you get over your breakup - when you’ve been through an emotional time and still want to get up and dance. It’s about moving through it rather than marinating in it. www.trophyband.com PEACE AND RUCKUS!!!

  6. Hello my friends It has been a long time since we've been back in two of our most memorable cities to play in but Vanderpark will bemaking there return in Ottawa and Montreal with our good friends from Kae Sun. Thursday February 28, 2008 - Mercury Lounge - Ottawa, Ontario Friday February 29, 2008 - O Patro Vys - Montreal, Quebec Both Vanderpark and Kae Sun will be performing new material from their latest releases "Cherish Yesterday" and "Ghost Town Prophecy". Definitely some shows you don't want to miss. Vanderpark "There is an undeniable dynamic that exists between its members making a Vanderpark show easy and refreshing. Their music is intelligent, accessible and it rocks." American Roots Live Review 74 - 09/26/07 www.vanderpark.com Kae Sun "Kae Sun’s style pays homage to some of his influences, which range from Nina Simone, Marvin Gay, Curtis Mayfield to Bob Dylan, and conscious hip hop artists such as Talib Kweli and Common. However, he should not be narrowly defined as a rapper, because his musical collage includes soundscapes that can catch anyone down with hip hop, soul, reggae or folk by surprise." - Johnathan Robinson - Trent Arthur www.kaesunmusic.com See ya there : ) Party Hardy till 1490

  12. I'm writing a paper on Industrialized Agriculture and I want to reference the book. I'm pretty sure their are torrents for it, I just can't fine em

  14. Is their any place on the net where I can download books? I'm not sure if this exists yet but if it did, the internet would be unstoppable
  15. Well folks, here we are at yet another 'help so-and-so win $7,000 on 102.1 The Edge.' We know you've received countless invites to join various groups to help people you've never heard of increase their chances microscopically of winning the big cashola. But this one is different. Why? Let me tell you. Vanderpark is heading back into the studio to record their follow-up to 2005's "All Your Hands" and is desparately broke. Studio time is freakin' expensive these days and the boys want to record the best sounding album you have ever treated your ears to. So basically, this money would help a lot. BUT if (and when) we win - EVERYONE'S NAME WHO SIGNS UP FOR THIS GROUP will be included in the liner notes of the new album! Have your name etched in immortality kids. This is even extra special because Vanderpark will be embarking on their first US-tour this fall to support this new disc. That means everyone in Canada and the USA will be able to see your name. Now if that isn't incentive, I don't know what is. Make sure to invite all your friends as well, we need to get the word out there! Sign up! To also join the 'official' Vanderpark FB group click here: http://utoronto.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2204990580
  16. Just message me and i'll gladly email you the pictures
  17. I toured across Canada with this bass and i've never had problems with it. It has a bold thick sound and it never goes out of tune. This is Yamaha's version of a Fender jazz bass. I raised the pick-ups a bit to give it more punch and I replaced the nut on the top to give it more durability. It comes with a soft AND hard shell case. This model was released in the late 90's. You won't be disappointed. If interested, email me at enter_the_alan@hotmail.com I live in the Toronto region pictures upon request thanks Alan https://accounts.craigslist.org/post/shwpst?pii=284204749&db=lv
