BSK-No worries man!

BSK-Sure am man
K lets get this fuck er going! . 1st question .. Can you explain what Silent Army is for the readers?

Mudge-Of course! Silent army is a four piece hard rock band from Calgary Alberta. Our mission is to bring back hard hitting rock music with some grunge influence.
I love grunge! .. What are your plans for the future?

We are looking to expand our music to another level this next year. We have big plans and hope to play a few festivals next summer and hopefully a tour!
What was your inspiration for your sound and getting into music?

We all have a lot of love for grunge music. Specifically, pearl jam, soundgarden and alice in chains.
We wanted to try to bring some of that sound back into a more modern rock scene.
As for getting into music I can't speak for the other guys but for me it was just the love of music and wanting to write my own.
It was a way for me to get my feelings out on paper,
but with the feeling and emotion that music can bring

BSK-In the next 5 years what is the plan for you guys?

We want to take over the world man. If we could get on a label and tour the world we would be happy guys. That's the dream man

The Fort

Since I began playing shows in Calgary almost nearly 5 years ago, I've seen many venues close their doors to either the public or at least to the bands. I'm probably just old enough to remember playing my first show ever as a skinny young punk at the legendary Crescent Heights Community Center and having an awesome venue like that for all age shows. Last year was the saddest time for the community when The New Black Center for the Performing Arts finally closed it's doors for good. I remember going to many shows there in a short period of time. For the first year and a half in the city. I saw incredible bands there that just faded away and also bands that bloomed into something way bigger. A good example of that was catching Today I Caught the Plague play to maybe 25 kids and the bands that they had played with. For you that don't know they are a band formed in 2005 in Ottawa, Ontario who toured for countless years until they became The Kindred in 2013, who have played with many large acts like Between the Buried and Me, Misery Signals, Protest the Hero and Scale the Summit. With that void in the community it turned to only 18+ shows at bars. It takes away from the nurturing and growth of the young musicians when they need it the most. Now what is happening is that a group of individuals who are passionate about the fact there is a void and want to do something about it. Thus comes the idea of The Fort. This is just in the begging stages and what they want to do is with the help of crowd funding, They want to give the city a venue. With money donated they plan on finding a building, the renovations they will need, the sound equipment and the permits/licenses required to run the venue properly. So here it is they are calling for your help and if you want to check more out about it yourself follow this link here and check it out for yourself.

Show review - Well Mannered Thieves + Friends

Well Mannered Thieves  Are a local Alternative band that have a very interesting sound :) In a great way ! .. Paul Orton The singer invited me to a very eclectic show With Post Modern People , The Garter Girls  and Them. At The national music center where I have never been before but it was a great experience .. Seeing as the crowd was not exactly my usual type of crowd to say the least I felt out of place a bit with my "Eat pussy chug whisky hail Satan" shirt on LOL .. Anyway I have to say that all the acts were just fantastic .. with bands on one side and burlesque on the other was pretty cool because at one point I am in the back and next I am in the best place to watch girls get naked haha .. I got a CD from W.M.T and I love it .. It will be in my tune rotation for a while I figure! Get a hold of them to pick one up or hit the link to check their site to get and idea what they sound like with the songs they have on there! .. The Garter Girls are just smoking hot and talented .. I plan to book them sometime down the road for a show or two :) Check their link too they are very interesting ;)

Overall the show was great and they did a great job putting it together .. Even a sponsor from Wild Rose Brewery  :) ... Although I did not like the taste of their IPA the rest were pretty good !

Great show all in all!
Cheers to all of ya! - BSK
