Tonight's show was guest hosted by Greg Benedetto, the promoter behind Not Dead Yet. Not Dead Yet is an annual punk fest organized in Toronto over the better part of a week and this is the fourth year if you don't take into consideration the Fucked Up Hallowe'en weekends. Because the line up has been fluid and in order to get a flavour for the line up Greg came in to play music from bands at this year's fest. Not Dead Yet unofficially starts this Tuesday with an art show at S.H.I.B.G.B.'S (See the show listings on the side) but for the full details of the fest go to http://notdeadyettoronto.tumblr.com/.
