Throwback Thursday - Multi-pick- Bands I used to love and always will.

THROWBACK THURSDAY -MULTI PICK

Jane Vain and the Dark Matter - 7+ years ago was the last time I heard of this awesome indie alternative band and have heard nothing since and that is disappointing but I do frequent their music to catch up in hopes they come back. This video is from back in 2008ish.

Sharks Aren't Scavengers .. They have not been gone long but I still miss their music now and again. local postrockers with a TOOLesc sound and a mad passion for music that is wonderful to draw to ,  jus sayin. check out their grooves here.

I am glad to say that Million Dollar Fix  is still around so I thought i would give them honourable mention because I have not seen them live nor any of them in person for quite some time.. sorry dudes! I hope to hear from you!

NEW FIGHT SCENE is a local Screamo band that I have not heard from in quite some time but come back to every once and a while because they are right up there with alexisonfire but local! This a video proving my point from 2010.




That is all for now folks! I will have more next week! I will be posting This weekends shows tomorrow! .. Cheers! -BSK

Back from Hiatus!!

I am Back from hiatus!!

I have had not much to say for a while and have been busy but I am back in full force .. There are many things to say now and not much of it is great because I have seen a decline in the music and arts industry while I was Away but now I have noticed a change here and there for the positive and had to come back to writing about it!

The local boys ALKATINE are playing with THE TREWS and AltCitY interviewee Matt Blais! This coming Friday at Flames Central!!

We have finally new blood back in C town with Straight to Jetpacks , And I adore their Blind Beggar video link here .

CowPuncher and Puttin on the foil are some amazing motherfuckers from Calgary and have been standpoints in this industry and they are playing with Greystone Gardens this Thursday at Distortion ( the new version on the best minds in venue management and creation Here's to a few!!!)

I know that the stampede is a strange week for local shows but you should head out to these shows! I might see you there !

I gotta get back into my groove and find some help but AlTCiTY in back in motion!!!

Have fun!! Cheers!!!!
