Canadian Music Week - Saturday Night

26 Artists, 10 Venues, 4 Nights

Saturday
I went to the Big Bob, where I could see the most bands in one place. It was great, each floor had different vibe.
The Kathedral had a modest crowd out to enjoy the rock. The first band I saw was The Randalls from Milton. With powerful guitar riffs and the excellent vocals of Jonathan Volpe, The Randalls got me pumped up for another night of music.http://www.myspace.com/therandallsofmilton

Next at the Kathedral was the heaver sounds of West Memphis Suicide. Chris Raposo's guitar was pretty sick. Check out their rock anthems http://www.myspace.com/westmemphissuicide

Alternate End closed the Kathedral with more heavy tunes, and fierce rockin stage presence. http://www.myspace.com/alternateendrocks

After being stuck at the Canadian border, and being awake for 21 hours California's The Robotanists rocked Holy Joes. Singer, Sarah Ellquist had a sexy, charismatic stage presence that was mesmorzing. A great end to my Canadian Music Week adventures. http://www.myspace.com/robotanists
