bouche Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Does Brian's Record Option still sell records? I think most of my vintage collection was built from his store back in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelter Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 The Fussy Parta nunny famei'm snot mart, cause i just realized that now.i'll be at this show, and i'm no longer contractually obligated to do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marf Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) I'll also be at this show - whether I'm contractually obligated or not is irrelevant. I'd be there even if the Slaves weren't playing, that's just a bonus that we get to play too.Seriously stoked to see the Bus again, it's been way too long. And from what little I've heard of the Fussy Part, I'm going to like them a lot too. Edited February 27, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryandewar Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'm a pretty big fan of both Slaves and GTB so I'm going to love it regardless. I am curious to see how FP is live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 The Fussy Part are great. They've got a bit of a Tortoise/Do Make Say Think thing going on at times. Check them out, buy their ep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryandewar Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I usually try to take something home from a show, especially if I like an act.Everything I've heard so far is great, so I don't think anything will disappoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryandewar Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Rock Crew Productions is very proud to present GRAND THEFT BUS & THE SLAVES OF SPANKY double bill with special guest THE FUSSY PART at ELIXIR (14 Garrett Street) on THURSDAY MARCH 15TH, 2007. Doors open at 9 PM, this is a 19+ event. Advance tickets are $10 and on sale starting March 1st at Brian's Record Option, Zap Records, Chumleighs, Destinations, Renaissance Music, Elixir, or online at www.rockcrew.caHailing from Eastern Canada, Grand Theft Bus has garnered a reputation as one of Canada’s busiest and most exciting new bands. Although known for their sprawling exploratory live performances, the group’s first studio effort “Birth of Confusion†was extremely well received by both critics and fans alike, and serves well as an introductory probe into their vast repertoire of original material. On this album you’ll find an eclectic mix of tight, concise vocally driven pop songs to progressive instrumental compositions. Since it’s inception in 2000 the band has performed over 400 shows, including sell out shows in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Grand Theft Bus has also been a mainstay on the summer festival circuit including sold out performances at the Atlantic Jazz Festival, the Evolve Festival, Burlington Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom Music Festival and the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick. In their travels the band has had the honour of sharing the stage with Canadian rock icons The Rheostatics, The New Deal, and Righteous Babe recording artists Drums and Tuba. Grand Theft Bus is currently working on their follow up to their sophomore album, “Flies in the No Flyâ€. Grand Theft Bus develops their songs with unlimited creative freedom while maintaining the utmost respect for the listener. This band loves making music.Slaves of Spanky are an incredibly original Rap/Hip Hop crew based in Kingston Ontario. The band draws influence from the likes of Cypress Hill, Beastie boys, Public Enemy and Deftones Well known locally for their diversity and incredible live show, Slaves of Spanky focus an equal amount of attention on Music and Entertainment, entertainment being the "theatrical" aspect of their live set. Musically speaking, the band has a rare lineup consisting of 2 vocalists, a keybordist/dj, a bassist and electronic drums. "We prefer to have two vocalists" they say, "it provides us with more opportunity to interact with the audience and generally get crazy".. While their 2005 release “Gas Money†was recorded underground, the Slaves of Spanky sound is bigger and bolder than ever. Filled with melody and clever rhymes, “Gas Money†raised the bar for the Hip Hop group. A Slaves of Spanky live show is high octane, energy driven entertainment from start to finish. Their raps dig deeper into the human mind with all that fun loving charm that makes them one of the most unique musical talents to come along. An unforgettable experience on tape or on stage. The Fussy Part’s first release, “ben EP,†certainly does not make the group stand out amongst the throngs of other Atlantic Canadian bands. Not at all interested in combining their years of experience and various influences in mastering their own unique sound, they focus entirely on image and have no sense of expression in their music whatsoever. They would never inspire you with their epic and ethereal soundscapes or conjoined guitar melodies. Far be it for this Fredericton five-piece to expertly craft songs that are beautiful and dangerous, sensuous and coarse. With this new release, The Fussy Part are definitely not in any position to take the Maritimes, let alone Canada, by storm. The Fussy Part do not feature veteran musicians Nick Cobham (All of Green, Olympic Symphonium, Fat Jebus) on guitar and vocals, Kyle Cunjak (Olympic Symphonium, Melonworks) on bass and laptop, Bob Deveau (Grand Theft Bus) on drums and laptop, Steve Dunn (All of Green) on guitar, and Dennis Goodwin (Grand Theft Bus) on keys. Even if they did play together, their strong friendship and respect for one another would be entirely useless in creating the sort of complex and rich arrangements The Fussy Part are not known for. Since the winter of 2005, The Fussy Part have garnered next to no burgeoning following to speak of. Despite a complete lack of stage presence and their extreme egotism, they have not been consistently drawing larger and larger crowds. Their totally unoriginal music has failed to be a refreshing breeze of post-rock in a region where such offerings are sparse. This band has been unsuccessful in illustrating their absence of passion in what they have created. This band has not made people warm on cold nights. The Fussy Part’s first release, “ben Ep,†was not released in January of 2007. It will not feature five sonically varied tracks that will perk up your ears. Furthermore, it will not promise to be one of the best releases Atlantic Canada will have to offer in 2007.Rock Crew Productions is a concert promotion company based in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
