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...

Oh, and I haven't got around to drawing No Gold contest winners, so if you entered, you still might hear from me soon!

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.

I read something about a vancouver compilation cassette for $4 in maximum rock&roll, but I didn't buy the issue. Do you have any info?

Not really sure. There was a cassette comp that VidKid put out (vidkid.org)... but it doesnt sound like something that would be in Maximum R&R
