Show Review - Human Target / Nuclear Man (Winnipeg showcase)

Got to see the Nuclear Man show on Friday night. The No No Room is in the basement of Dock Ellis and is near the location of the infamous Faith/Void. The space is run by Brad Manners of School Damage and fits about 60 people capacity. Perfect for punk shows. Bee, the drummer, from Kleener organized the show. Nuclear Man went on first and they shouted out Winnipeg and Regina at the beginning of their set. They were able to get a crowd reaction right away. Kleener were next and they ripped through a set challenged by landing endings. But the bass and drums drove that sound and the singer was able to move into the audience in a way that stirred things up. Human Target featured some members of Nuclear Man and others making me think of Fuck bands but this was no Fuck Band. They played a crushing set. Tashme topped it off with some a bass sound that was part Lip Cream part Cro Mags part something else. The drummer was insanely good. This whole band was solid as you will hear in these recordings.

On this episode of Equalizing-X-Distort – a feature interview with some of the authors of a new book on Anti Racist Action called We Go Where They Go. We speak with Kristin Schwartz and Shannon Clay about ARA’s origin story. We focused on the Toronto chapter and how they took on various racist organization’s in the city which led to stories of shady autocrats and an attempt to turn a Caribbean island into a drug state to finance these racist countries a la Iran-Contra style. We talk about how resourceful ARA became as a grassroots organization. We talked about ARA’s legacy. All this in anticipation for their book launch on Thursday (April 20th). And there are a lot of anti-racist punk anthems mixed in with the interview.

There was so many great requests for cop related punk songs from last week and the cops continue to brutalize People of Colour from Chantal Moore to Regis Korchinski-Paquet to Chief Allan Adams. Doug Ford and Francois Legault dismiss things with our myth that we are better than the Americans as if racism is about degrees of brutality and our version is a bit nicer. So people continue to take to the streets. We want to thank Ken Huff, Gail Whetton, Craig Wattie, Omar Sheriff, Michael Fairley, D'Arcy Rix-Hayes, Jeremy Mogk, Andres Garcia, Ian Wilkinson, Dave Stevenson, Rob Freeborn, Amado Guaddarrama, Vince MacDonald, Ben Durham, Kyle Yuen and Marty Smith for tonight's playlist.

DISORDER - Law and Disorder (Ace)

Our Latin Thing Punk fest....
was started up as a way to create a more inclusive space in Toronto's punk scene. This fest will showcase bands in this scene and in surrounding scenes effected by the Spanish diaspora. Next Saturday (August 31st) there is a show at the Garrison (1197 Dundas St W.) called “Our Latin Thing Punk Fest” and we speak with Jose Moreno one of the organizers for the fest. He came in tonight amidst a flurry of last minute organizing to tell us about the upcoming show and spin songs from most of the bands playing. We also get the line up for the after party so make sure you listen to the show to figure out how to get the instruction for that. We start off with the local bands playing the fest.

A few months back I was interviewed by a good friend and former colleague at CHRY, Sunaya Sapurji about a piece she had been researching that looked at the relationship between hockey and punk. The on-line story appeared on the Athletic and is called "How hockey became hardcore : The often complex relationship between the game and punk rock".  Sunaya built a playlist on spotify for the article and I pulled together some other songs mentioned in the article and some harder to find pieces to support the article.
