relaunch for real 2010

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 09:14:57 PDT

I finally found my password and I'm starting to re-upload files to replace all the dead links on here. Realistically there might not be new content until the new year, but hopefully the old stuff will be up soon. Sadly some stuff is just gone - my camera died and anything I filmed just before has corrupted tapes (no audio.) If I archived it before I can synch those up... but I'm not sure how much of that I have.

Many of the bands featured here have gone on to bigger and better things... a lot of them have also broken up. I'd like to think among the many "significant" musical moments I've missed, I've also captured some interesting times and good shows that I'm happy to share.

King Khan & BBQ show - redux

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 12:38:11 PDT

So I was a little off with my claims of a re-launch... how many months has it been? i'm not back quite yet.

there's finally an edited version of that king khan & bbq footage from the silver dollar. Aldo from www.tobescene.com edited this footage together (cameras by Aldo, Rick & myself). this is not the full show, and unfortunately is missing some of the craziness from later in the set.

Right-Click for a king khan & bbq show

be sure to check outthe site and their myspace for more live footage, local bands performing live in their studio, and some other fun stuff like el vez and stuff relating to the last pogo doc. Also if you check the tobescene site you can see this king khan and bbq show video in higher quality.

finally if you haven't checked out some of the videos at kinodv seriously do it fast. some great stuff there.

Re-launch!

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 14:07:41 PDT

Some of you keep asking me if i'm going to post again. The answer is yes. I'm plannign on re-launchign the site within the next 2 weeks. I starting posting videos with the deadly snakes. I figure it's onlyl fitting that i re-launch with footage from the last ever show (the day after the official one that was recorded). the entirety of my footage (basically the first 30 minutes because i didn't think they'd play longer) is available on youtube if you want to see it. I'll be posting a few of my fave clips from that though i guess if people have requests of which clips they'd like posted they can comment here.
i'l follow that up with some King Khan & BBQ Show. and yes there's a little teaser i posted on youtube as well - i hope that one will eventually be edited with footage from 2 other cameras. that might eventually be posted on www.tobescene.com. the same goes for the next video on youtube which is of the mnysterious bush league. the tobescene crew also filmed that show, but also did a studio video for bush league. you can check out the audio on tobesscene's myspace (my band also has a track up there).

update

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Mon, 22 May 2006 09:10:39 PDT

so here's what i've filmed lately:
creeping nobodies instore
ugly stick, demon's claws, mind controls @ queenshead
bbq @ silver dollar
broken treefort , charlie mcallister @ rancho relaxo
broken treefort, no dynamics nonette @ cinecycle for conical revolution

i'll be working this summer on putting together the footage from various cameras for conical revolution. other stuff should be posted fairly regularly

i now have a youtube account and am in the process of uploading all my old videos so if for whatever reason stuff isn't working on here you can always watch them there. it's a little less involved so stuff might get posted there a day or 2 earlier. because i can post larger files there i might also directly link to something from time to time.

in the meantime you can go check out ugly stick and video on youtube

BUSH/GRAM sacrifice to Flipper

right-click to get flipped off

last weekend i filmed a show at a friend's goin away party - members of anagram abnd bush league joined forces to do a 30 minute set of flipper covers. there were 2 other guys filming and all our footage is being edited together. you could consider this a teaser of sorts. there's also the possibility that there is an official audio release of this show. more information later.

happy trails Heather n' Eric.... don't die in the worst city

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 14:56:26 PDT

so i've been away for a long time...
soon i promise i will be posting my backlog.
it turns out that someone is reposting my stuff on youtube it's funny what a good night's sleep will do. i was pretty pissed off when i found out, but really all i wanted was people to see my videos. consider this a chance to see one of the first videos i posted without searching for it. youtube

chimichanga rock n roll 10/12/04

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Fri, 17 Feb 2006 21:46:48 PST

right-click to get down

this wasn't supposed to be a once-a-month blog. i'm hoping that will change as soon as i'm used to my new job/new schedule. i haven't had much time lately.

this is actually something i found on my computer - who knows how long it's been there. the footage is old too, from the very first boyfriend material concert, opening for the neurotic swingers. chimichanga was a last minute fill-in for the midways, one of whom fell off a roof. no joke. on this night chimichanga borrowed guitars from boyfriend material... and had problems all night. one guitar kept cuttin out, so he switched to an old cheapie that also cut out (when he hit the toggle switches) or just plain sounded outta tune and quiet. he impressively made do. this is the only accident-free footage of the night if i remember correctly.
dan vila aka chimichanga is also guitarist for bush league (check out their upcoming 10" on yakisakana) and no dynamics. chimichanga has now morphed into a duo (chimichanga and the organ of xtabay) and perhaps is over with completely (replaced with the full band disgrimination).

lullabye arkestra- Doing it to Death New Year's eve

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 12:39:57 PST

Right-Click for a Lullabye

And now a quick break from your regularly scheduled videos. I borrowed a video camera with nightvision to film this show, and seeing how i have to return the camera soon i transfered the footage and thought it might be nice to post it kinda close to the start of the new years instead of doing stuff in the order i previously posted.
Anyways... this was the Doing it to Death new year's party- with rosazia, no dynamics, lullabye arkestra, and LAND (no dynamics+lullabye arkestra). Unfortunately i had battery problems and this is the only complete song i got from LA (I managed to film rosazia and LA, and nothing else). They will probably hate me for posting this because they fucked it up (they even tried it again later on in the night, this time with singing and more instruments).
The core of LA is Justin Small (Do Make Say Think) on drums and Katya Taylor on bass and vocals (i forget her other band). Sometimes they also have addtional help from a couple of people to help with screaming (and in this case sprinkling of glitter), keyboards and horns. A trumpet and keyboard player showed up a little later in the set.
you also get the countdown to the hour to start everything off.
lullabye arkestra also has a myspace.

i'm not dead yet

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Mon, 09 Jan 2006 14:37:45 PST

sorry for all the delays folks, it's gonna be another week getting set up again and creating enough space on my hardrive to actually transfer video.
the link for the garagepunk.com podcasts has now been changed and those will be posted from the main blog apparently.

right-click

ok so i've been lazy. i expect stuff i posted about will be up next week, as well as some MOTO from the same show as this. the sickoids are also the bayonettes, who decided because they were playing at the Smling Buddha to do (mostly) vancouver punk covers - i guess as some kind of tribute. this was a bit of a sloppy set, and everytime i film them bennett's drums go flying across the stage, but i like them alot. they seem to play in the US fairly often, if you feel like checkin them out (and you should because they're fun) there's a couple of shows in january coming up.

gratuitous self promotion + update

gratuitous self promotion:

so tomorrow is my band's last show of the year (see above). if you're in town you should come.
this is MOTO's first time here in over 10 years. the sickoids are the bayonettes playing vancouver punk covers.

update:
sorry about the lack of posting recently, i've been working on stuff for friends and family.
i've managed to figure out the basics of editing, so once i find someone to host the file, the indian jewelery video is getting posted (hopefully next week). also coming soon is a tijuana bibles in store, and republic of safety.

i also recently got asked to contribute a list of my top 4 canadian releases of 2005 - once results are posted i'll post a link. here's what i submitted (+ honorable mentions) :

anagram - after dark (dead astronaut)
brutal knights - not fun ep (deranged)
the creeping nobodies - half saboteur ep (bloodworks)
deadly snakes - porcella (paper bag)
demon's claws - s/t (dead canary)
the guest bedroom - we like accidents ep (self released?)
the king khan & bbq show - s/t (goner)
no dynamics - s/t ep (bloodworks)

so you should check those out if you haven't already.

tradition @ the bagel 2005 (no dynamics ep release #1)

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Fri, 25 Nov 2005 13:57:20 PST

right-click to learn tradition

so tradition is james klassen and whoever will play with him. this particular lineup is a rare (?) 3 piece with 2 former creeping nobodies (julia on guitar and james on drums). maybe it was a special occasion thing for the no dynamics ep release party. You can hear more at the myspace profile.
also tomorrow night EST you can hear this:

This Saturday night from midnight to 1 am, Wired for Sound brings
you a live recording of James Klassen performing a solo acoustic set
of songs from his typically-two-piece band Tradition, recorded live at
the Bagel on November 2.

Hilariously misleadingly described by Daniel Vila in the "VICE Guide to
Toronto" (in what may be their only known press thus far) as "four
kids, none of whom are over the age of 18," there's truth in them
lies, as the spirit of Year-Punk-Broke spunk comes through plenty in
Klassen's sludgy drones and obnoxious vox full of disease and wheeze.
Hope all you cavemen and free women out there enjoy...

That's:
TRADITION
Recorded live at The Bagel
Broadcast on CKLN 88.1 fm (streamed live at ckln.fm)
Saturday, November 26 from midnight-1 am
(technically very early Sunday morning)

galaxy - ladyfest toronto 2004

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Thu, 24 Nov 2005 14:40:08 PST

right-click to see the galaxy

Galaxy are a 3 piece band. I think this was maybe their 2nd or 3rd show, and that they had recorded a demo without a drummer before that. i could be wrong.
this was for ladyfest toronto 2004. I got a media pass to help document the event (a lot of my friends were involved in the organizing) but nothing much ever happened with the footage... my friends were all too burnt out by the experience to do anything, and i never have on my own. I was totally impressed by galaxy when i saw them...but admittedly i haven't seen them in a LONG time, since november of last year when my band played with them. I've been told they sound much different now. galaxy aren't on myspace but they are on friendster.
i posted this song because both katie and emma sing, and this was the only bit of footage i had that showed them both more or less equally.

right-click to get sick

sorry about the delay in posts folks, i got real sick.
this footage is from the annual wavelength zine fundraiser from 2003 - also the first time i used my video camera EVER. the sound is a little patchy because i didn't mess around with any settins and i didn't have a condenser mic yet...but i dont' think it's too bad. I think i only got to see the sick lipstick once after this. dennis now drums for the creeping nobodies, and lindsey is in fox the boombox. i'm not sure if anyone else is doing anything. this is about all the footage i have.. just one more song. i only had about 45 minutes of battery time to work with.

ok this is from a week ago at the Boat. I've already posted the opening act (broken treefort), and i will post indian jewelery eventually. i would've waited to post this for a while but i've been busy and it was ready to go.
this song is from the new half saboteur ep (only for sale on vinyl but also available on cdr with purchase of the ep). if anyone's found my flickr account, this is the source of the "derek finds religion" photo.

upcoming

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Sat, 05 Nov 2005 17:49:14 PST

still a lot of archival footage to transfer and post.
recent shows i've filmed and intend to post in the near future:
republic of safety, weird war, the new signals, leather uppers (edited together from 2 camera footage- a first for me!!!), more creeping nobodies, and eventually indian jewelery (once i can get arrange for someone to host a slightly larger file than normal).
in the meantime here's my favourite still from the indian jewelery show (same night as broken treefort).

broken treefort @ the boat 11/03/05

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Sat, 05 Nov 2005 17:39:04 PST

right-click

Broken Treefort is a nearly decade old bedroom recording project. Recently, Mark, the brains behind it all has started playing 3 song sets with various people to help fill out the sound. This night's set featured Mark on guitar/vocals, JFink on drums (no dynamics, eudora, problem, blood ceremony), and stu (these patients) on keyboard and percussion.
mark also plays with problem and formerly with tradition

right-click to get night terrors

named after the rant at the before the song. i also added a tag, this is the only time it'll appear like this - i'm waitin for a friend to design a nice logo for me. anyways the show was sparsely attended, about 20 people besides the bands, which is a shame because the night terrors were really good. much rawer than the recordings on myspace, which is all i had to go on. the video is no as dark as the pic above, the tonys is just standing on a table out of the light. it's on nightvision setting so the motion is staggered a bit, but i think it looks kinda cool.

mind controls in the basement pt2

right-click to go out the back door

ok so this is another mind controls clip.. along with audience admonishments. i think they're touring Europe in December after the Demon's Claws tour... but don't take my word for it.

today i got a wide angle lens so in the future the whole band would appear in frame. yay for boring static shots. this might also be the last post for a week. i have been busy filming but not encoding... so i've got alot of that to do. i'm also in school again for a few more months = less time than i thought i had.
don't worry i'll still post.

videos reposted

noreply@blogger.com (http://rockundrollato.blogspot.com/) — Sat, 15 Oct 2005 14:03:45 PDT

so if you've been following this blog for awhile, you'll remember that i removed a bunch of videos because it was causing problems. i've reposted all of them now in seperate posts. they are in the original order so you'll have to check the posts by month...

list:

Anagram (2 videos)
Aidswolf - We Multiply
the Deadly Snakes- Prices Down
Demon's Claws- How the West was Won
the Guest Bedroom - No Thief

i'm waiting on imagse to load... then there'll be more mind controls next week

mind controls in the basement pt1

right-click to leave a message

i don't know what any of the mind control songs are called - i just made up titles. i tried to check their myspace to figure it out... not gonna happen. i just recently foudn out this song is called take a message.
about a month ago the band played in my basement for a party and i filmed it. featuring bbq on guitar & vocals, ysael from demon's claws on bass, and brian from (i think ) the confusers (another montreal band) on drums. the party was pretty tame during the show... the crowd getting taunted by bbq at one point. shit got interesting later on. it was pretty dark in the basement so i filmed in nightvision, which accounts for the trails and shit. also bbq is backlit the entire time so no seeing his pretty mug. i think this was their 2nd or 3rd show. and they hadn't played together in 6 weeks. not bad if you ask me.

so i promised you all some good brutal knights footage a ways back. this was supposed to be an all-ages matinee show, but there was only 1 under-age person there. about half-way through their set the rivoli started fililng up, or at least people started moving to the front.
i'll post another clip later
