SXSW AFTERMATH
Happy C-Day brothers
and sisters. Bin'
a
while since we've
dished up some news.
SXSW
left us in such a
state that it's taken
us
his long to recover.
That being said,
it
was one kick ass
week!!! Hot Live Guys on the Friday at Friends destroyed
everything and everyone in it's path, Scott
Nolan at Jovita's on Saturday at left jaws
dropped and hearts melted, and American Flamewhip
squared off against the Stooges and Turbonegro
down the street and blew the fuckin' doors
off the Mowhawk. more SXSW news to follow
as well as some Family additions.
SXSW and Cadillac
As a result of our WCMA Showcase,Hot Live

“I enjoyed your Transistor 66 show as much
as any rock show
I’ve seen this year”
- Brent Grulke
Creative Director
SXSW
How's that for a headline? O.K,big news this time around would have to be
our WCMA label showcase that took place right here
in the wicked 'Peg,
at our favorite venue,
the legendary Royal Albert. Scott Nolan, American Flamewhip, Hot Live
Guys, The Fabulous
Kildonans and Agriculture Club brought their collective A game to our Transistor 66 showcase, and we can honestly say we've
never bin' prouder. This was the closest we've had our happily
dysfunctional '66
family together under one
roof and it was certainly
somethin' special.
Our showcase summary
is below, interjected
with the review from
our friends at UPTOWN Magazine.
The night kicked
off with Scott Nolan
and
Joanna Miller offering
up a stripped down
(Figurative not literal,
you'll see in a
bit why we had to
clarify)version of
their
unique raucous roots. On a night ladened with straight ahead rock,
Scott showed there
are few audiences
he can't
impress
"If you ordered sweaty, dirty-ass rock
’n’ roll awesomeness,
the Transistor 66
Records
showcase at the Albert
delivered in spades. With his drums placed front and center, American
Flamewhip’s Chris
(Mama) Bauer beat
the skins
like they were a
red-headed step-child
before
doing his best Keith
Moon-ripping-shit-up
impression.
Going even further
into the pandemonium
were
the always chaotic
Hot Live Guys. Guitarist Joe Warkentin was in his usual
position, which is
everywhere but on
the
stage. His antics steered attention away from drummer
Mike Johnson’s onstage
nudity, but at show’s
end a lucky few got
to see the over-exposed
percussionist sit
in an ice-filled
beer bucket.
The Fabulous Kildonans topped both M ama and the Guys when Fat Johnny Campbell
trashed his brand-new
Gibson Firebird guitar
as the old-school
trio brought its
punk-rocking
set to a close with
a cover of The Dead
Boys’
classic Sonic Reducer."
Cappin' off our night
was Agriculture Club. Drivin' all the way from Calgary for our
family get together,
Ag Club took their patented
whiskey fuelled country
metal to new heights
on this evening.
Waylon Nelson, The Rubber
Duck, Gordon Leadfoot
and Billy Ray Virus
put the exclamation
point on our showcase
that was carried
on till the early morning
- mid afternoon hours
at World Headquarters.
