So there is a thing called Wavelength where kids meet and fuck off together at Sneaky Dee's and there is a cute zine that goes along with it and all that jazz and well it's time to raise some funds because there are some costs so why not throw another kick-ass party for everyone to come out to a drink beer and even better we can all dance to Jon Rae Fletcher and the River and we can watch Femme Generation gyrate on stage and I Can Put My Arm Back On You Can't and Fox The Boombox are playing too and Captain Easychord from Expensive Shit is spinning so you'll have to just show up and support the team for once or twice or even thrice because Jonny works so hard so let's bring it speaking of which Republic of Safety who are playing Wavelength this month with Scandalnavia and mn-l are unveiling their new drummer Evan Davies because Dennis Amos is focusing on the Creeping Nobodies who released a disc on Blocks Recording Club who have all kinds of shit up their sleeve for 2005 which is the year for all kinds of new records like maybe the Cougar Party record is coming out soon and The Parkas are recording with Andy Magoffin right now and Anagram have been working on their full-length for eons and so have others like the S.S. Cardiacs and The Patients and controller.controller who by the way are featured in the Toronto Life magazine and if that isn't weird enough check out Nirmala who is on the cover alongside buddy from Sum 41 and K-OS and Dave Bidini and that soprano Measha Brueggergosman as well as a long-winded quote from Mr. Dovercourt who also happens to play in another band called Three Ring Circuits who are playing in November at the Poor Alex and they are only one of many bands playing there over the next while and there's also a series of nights called Pitter Patter and yes good times speaking of which there are a bunch of CD releases this month like Gentlemen Reg's new disc Darby & Joan and More Plastic with guests Holy Fuck at the Bovine Nov. 19 and Magneta Lane's official party at Cinecycle on the 26th and Brian Wilson-esque Old Soul on the 26th at the Rivoli and I do believe this is also the Wavelength Fundraiser date and don't you just love those nights when so much is going on you just feel like running away to the Halifax Pop Festival which features many great locals like Uncut who are also playing Wavelength this month and Viking Club and Wax Mannequin and The Sour Keys and Brian Borcherdt whose name is easy to misspell just like the Teenage USA website which isn't in fact www.teenageusa.com because that site will get you arrested but if you make your way to www.teenageusarecordings.com you'll see that they signed a new band called Blood Meridian from BC who are currently on tour and probably tired and wanting to stay in a Guest Bedroom who are playing the last Wavelength of the month, which also happens to be Star DT's birthday. Happy birthday!
