A very important piece of rock history has been put up for sale as Rick Danko's famed Ampeg AMUB- 1 fretless bass is being auctioned off by Julien's Auctions. http://www.jambase.com/Articles/123181/Rick-Danko-Of-The-Band-Stage-and-Studio-Used-Bass-Up-For-Auction

Looking forward to an eventual Barr Bros headlining show in the big smoke.

Sooo, ahh, any way I can get that file in MP3 format rather than FLAC? *flees away from upset skankies*

I'm still laughing at this one.

The change in schedule for the mainstage on Sunday worked for me in that I got to see Antibalas (who went on later than planned) but didn't get to see Charles Bradley (who also went on later than planned). Antibalas sounded so damn good! Too bad about missing Charles Bradley. They also announced Sunday that Sugarman 3 would be doing a surprise set on Sunday night at This Ain't Hollywood with some other Daptones people probably stopping by. Did anyone make it out to that? Out of all the Supercrawls I'd say that this time around I saw the least amount of music. The lineup just didn't do a lot for me (except for Sunday main stage). Good times seeing and catching up with old friends though. That circus on Saturday night was pretty out there too, pretty cool.

At last.

Apparently Fourtet has cancelled at the last minute for tonight's show (which also happened at Hillside I believe?). Jeremy from Junior Boys will be doing a DJ set in his place.

Wassaap with this pre-sale? Update: Pre-sale is now working. http://theholdsteady.net/presale/?event=43450

The Hold Steady will be playing four shows in Toronto at the Horseshoe Tavern Dec. 10-13! Unified Scene pre-sale Thurs, general Friday. Openers will be announced soon!

Any recommendations from this list of bands? There are only a small handful that I am familiar with. http://toronto.riotfest.org/?sort=day

The Hammer does it again.

I just won a pair of tickets through the NOW magazine contest, for the 3rd year in a row. Last year it looked like anyone who entered the contest (via multiple contest outlets) was a winner - when I gave my name at the will call there was a several pages long list of names just for NOW mag contest winners, and a several pages long list of Exclaim mag winners.

Yeah I bit the bullet and ended up paying well above face value for a pair of lawns on StubHub. I had a bunch of credit sitting in my StubHub account (which they gave me from a previous, botched StubHub experience) which made it less painful to do so. Now what am I gonna wear???

Update (in case anyone is wondering)... Doors: 6PM Constantines: 7:15PM Dan Deacon: 8:15PM Arcade Fire: 8:55PM

Hey! Does anyone happen to know the set times for the show this Friday? Ticket says 7:30 pm on it.

I ended up with some half decent seats on the main floor. Facebook presale password is SWIM. Fan Club password is gimme.

Congrats Scottie! Enjoy!

Happy belated DB 2.0!

Thanks man. Any idea which of the pre-sales that password is for?

Hey folks! This is my first post on the new message board. I have arrived! So, I see Ryan Adams is playing at Massey Hall on Wed Nov 12. Wuzzah! http://ticketmaster.ca/event/10004D0CE501785A Now, who can help me out with some of these pre-sale passwords? Fan Club, Facebook and LiveNation presales are all tomorrow morning at 10am. ANy help is much appreciated.

Blind and dirty...

What a fun, high energy show! Really glad I went. Thanks Jay for the hookups. I would go see these guys again for sure. I remember a while back there was an article telling the story of this band that people said was a great article. Maybe from Rolling Stone. Does anyone remember and have a link? I didn't see any of the openers but wish I had seen Matt Andersen. He sat in with Old Crow MS for 3-4 songs - what a voice that guy has! Holy crap. I really like Echo Beach as a venue as well - unfortunate that the venue seemingly does not figure into Ontario Place's future plans.

I caught the last bit on a stream, from NICU forward. Looks like it was a lot of fun. Fishman's moves at the front of that conga line during I've Been Around would've been worth the price of entry.

Sweet, thanks Jay! Two nights in a row down at the lake (Lionel Richie on Wed).
