Become Taylor Swift with Band Hero

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Do you wish you could be Taylor Swift? Well, now you can… sort of.

The makers of Guitar Hero have come up with a new game called Band Hero, which not only allows you to jam to songs with all of your friends, but also do it as Taylor Swift!

Okay, so it sounds just like Rock Band, we know, but judging by an informative “making of” video, Taylor had to put on a funny suit and act out her rock star moves to become a video game avatar.

Though it isn’t out until November, Band Hero will also let you become Maroon 5, No Doubt, Fall Out Boy and Jesse McCartney!

NXNE Friday Night!

Matt & Kim rocking out

Matt & Kim rocking out


A Friday night spent NXNE-ing? That’s one great Friday.

My first stop of the night was Whippersnapper for Spiral Beach and Matt & Kim. Unfortunately the road was closed so I had to walk to the venue, and I only caught the last two minutes of Spiral Beach. From what I saw they put on quite the energetic show, and the crowd was eating it up. I was busy trying to work my way to the front and managed to get a few decent pictures. Spiral Beach have a tharsh kinda sound that I’m not really into but I get why people like it. They’re also from Toronto and I’m all for hometown support! Best of luck to em!

Um, my teenage dreams just came true - I finally saw No Doubt in concert last night. The last three times the band played Toronto, there was always something rock-blocking my chances to see them .. but now I can check something off my bucket list. AND I got to shoot them in the photo pit. *SWOON*

Before Gwen, Tony, Tom and Adrian took the stage to thunderous cheers, Bedouin Soundclash played a short, fun set and then Paramore played about a 50-minute show for their fair share of fans in the audience. I admit that I don’t know much of their stuff, but I was maybe a bit too happy to hear my Rock Band jam “Misery Business”. Hayley was a sparkplug with her blazing hair, yellow jeans and black adidas, warming the crowd up for the *~amazingness~* that was to come.

News for Tuesday: Deluxe Long Weekend Recap Edition

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

* Radiohead is back in the studio! No word if whatever they’re working on will be as mind-blowing (or randomly priced) as In Rainbows.

* Jack White and his other-other-bandmate Allison Mossheart (together they are The Dead Weather) came to fisticuffs in a New York City bar. And they haven’t even gone out on tour yet. Geez.

* Former O.C. star Rachel Bilson’s apartment got burgled while she was away spending time with her fiance, Darth Vader Hayden Christiansen. You’d think he would have felt it in the Force. Uh, I mean…

* The earthquake that rocked Los Angeles on Sunday night (4.7 on the Richter Scale) was apparently powerful enough to send some celebs running - to update their Twitter pages. Seriously?

* Kanye West is pleading “not guilty” to charges of “misdemeanor battery, grand theft and vandalism” for breaking a paparazzo’s camera back in September. Sounds worse than it looks, huh?

* Protest the Hero had their shows in Anchorage, Alaska, canceled. So they showed up in town with their beards to fight anyway. (Beard Fight?!)

* In a surprise twist (okay, maybe not), Broken Social Scene announce their reasons for canceling Olympic Island Fest: Race Cars.

* No Doubt kicked off their tour in Las Vegas this weekend. The 90’s: Fear them, they are coming for you (the band’s Canadian dates are in mid-June and -July)!
