you know i need pills when you say 'i love you'
First Friday goes down, fittingly, on the first Friday of every month at the Eldorado (Nanaimo & Kingsway) and it kicks off this week with Needles & Pins, Unfun, Detention, and Born to Run, three bands that I haven't heard and one that I haven't had a chance to catch live yet.
But, while I haven't caught Needles & Pins in the flesh, Tony was nice enough to send over some recordings. The whole set is pretty awesome, but this one definitely sticks out as the highlight...

Contest: No Gold 7" Giveaway
So, this is the rad contest I was mentioning earlier today. At long last, No Gold's releasing something and they're doing it by way of 7" on the always wonderful Broadway to Boundary (who've also put out wax by Mutators, Shearing Pinx, Sex Negatives, and Hot Loins, with a Pink Noise 45 forthcoming).
Peterat who is the Broadway to Boundary has very kindly offered up two copies of this bad boy to coincide with tonight's release show at the Fortune Sound Club (with Basketball and Humans).
Even though this prize is worth jumping through hoops for, if you want to win, just send an email to quinn.omori [at] gmail.com with the subject line "No Gold 7-inch" before midnight on Halloween and I'll pick a winner when I'm hung over and full of mini-chocolate bars the next day.
And, if you don't win (or even if you do--records make great gifts), you can order a copy direct from the Broadway to Boundary or find a copy in your favourite independent retailer soon (if not now).

you know i need pills when you say 'i love you'
With the Cobalt shutting its doors and Far Away ending things off one a super bad ass note with the Misfits Halloween Party last Friday, Vancouver's down a few regular nights that hosted live acts, so it's good when I can talk about a new one for a change.
First Friday goes down, fittingly, on the first Friday of every month at the Eldorado (Nanaimo & Kingsway) and it kicks off this week with Needles & Pins, Unfun, Detention, and Born to Run, three bands that I haven't heard and one that I haven't had a chance to catch live yet.
