The party has arrived at the Games!

Bedouin Soundclash

The Vancouver 2010 games are about more than just sports, you know. Sure, having a major international event in Canada is an honor, but I regret to admit that what excites me the most is the entertainment. Two weeks of cool Canadian artists performing at FREE venues all across the city! Uh, does it get any better than that? With the events quickly approaching I’ve compiled the most exciting performances every night from February 12th to 27th.

News for Monday: Bad News (Bears) Edition

Monday, July 20th, 2009

* A cancerous tumour has been discovered in the salivary gland of Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch. Extra bad news: the tour is being cancelled and the Hot Sauce Committee album is being postponed! What is this, unintentional self-Sabotage?

* Ex-O.C cutie Misha Barton is still hospitalized, and missing the premiere of her new flick, The Homecoming. Maybe she got sick of appearing in movies nobody saw since leaving television…

* Rumour has it that Rihanna will be joined by All-American Rejects vocalist Tyson Ritter on her upcoming Rated R album. That’s probably just as weird as Keane working with Kanye West.

* Kings of Leon have announced that they will be playing a FREE show in New York City! Time to hatch an evil plan to find a way to get passes…

* Aaaand, Michael Jackson is continuously in the news because of a film made of footage from rehearsals for his London concerts, set to be released at some mysterious future time. Aren’t you excited?

Weezer To Join Blink-182 In Toronto

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Last week I told you about Blink-182 announcing their tour dates and also told you that they will have different opening acts through out the tour but it wasn’t confirmed yet. Well it looks like that has all changed! Weezer will be joining Blink-182 on their Toronto stop of their summer tour along with Chester French this summer.

Unfortunately it looks like Weezer will only be stopping in Canada once, where Chester French will be playing all the Canadian dates. Vancouver will see The All-American Rejects join Blink-182 & Chester French. Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon & Winnipeg will be entertained by Fall Out Boy, The All-American Rejects & Blink-182. Quebec City & Montreal will see Chester French, Fall Out Boy & Blink-182.

There is no word as of yet when tickets are going on sale or for how much so stay tuned! So now that you know who is opening and where, does this affect your decision on going or not? Let me know!

Blink-182 Announce Tour Dates

Yesterday I wrote about how Weezer, Blink-182 & Fall Out Boy were set to tour this summer and today Blink-182 announced tour dates for their summer tour. I mentioned how they could play VFest but that is now out of the question as the punk rockers will be playing the Molson Amphitheatre August 23. The recently re-united trio will hit a total of 8 Canadian cities including Toronto.

Since all three bands were mentioned together I assumed that they would be playing together but after reading an article on Billboard.com it seems like Blink will have different opening bands on certain legs of the tour. In addition to the Weezer and Fall Out Boy mentions as openers Panic At The Disco, All-American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, Asher Roth and Chester French have been added to the list of possible openers.

Nothing against any of the bands listed but I personally would not attend the Toronto show unless Weezer are on the bill. They haven’t released who will be their opening act on any of the days so here is my question to you. Who would you want to see as the opening band in the city you live in that they are playing at?

Here are the full Canadian dates:
July 28 - GM Place, Vancouver BC
July 30 - Saddledome, Calgary AB
July 31 - Rexall Place, Edmonton AB
August 1 - Credit Union Center, Saskatoon SK
August 2 - MTS Centre, Winnipeg MB
August 7 - Colisee Pepsi, Quebec City QC
August 8 - Bell Centre, Montreal QC
August 23 - Molson Amphitheatre, Toronto ON

All-American Rejects Make Faces on TV

I guess this pretty much sums up how Sarah may have felt about wrangling the collective voice of these dudes? (or maybe just Tyson)

You know, I just discovered that the All-American Rejects have appeared on MOD seven times since 2003 (and one Live@Much). Here’s a photoid from their first appearance when they were just wee:

2003. Aw.

The boys were back in town yesterday for a show at the Phoenix, and naturally they stopped by to have a conflab about, you know, stuff. I think my highlight was THE DEATH QUIZ, which featured lightning effects. Otherwise, Tyson was in top rabblerousing form, as you will see in the interview clip (watch here!) or the gallery - after the jump.
