Montrealers -- Proof that gigposters-ers can rock...

[Shawny]

Whitey Houton, and the band that I play in, will be co-rocking a stage in Montreal soon...

Thu - 09.15 C'Mon, Whitey Houston, The Adam Brown @ L'Hemisphere Gauche ($10) (221 Beaubien East)

Howdy gang -- I am absolutely thrilled to say that we're (The Adam Brown) opening up for two of my favourite bands right now. First, the mind melting, all-out rock 'n' roll assault of C'mon, who are quite possibly the best live rock band in Canada. C'mon is headed by Canadian rock 'n' roll incarnate, all-around super guy, and the man who changed the way I looked at music when I was a wee toddler, Ian Blurton (Change of Heart, Bionic, Blurtonia), and joined by Nashville Pussy alum. Katie Lynn Campbell, and Randy Curfew -- who was in the highly under-rated Blurtonia (their first album is a total experimental rock masterpiece, their follow-up, a raw but extremely catchy precursor to C'mon). Second, Whitey Houston, a bass-and-duo lunatic-rock combo (think DFA 1979, with more boogey, or Queens of the Stone Age with less ego). Or maybe just a super version, Voltron-style, of both. Anywho, the stomp quotient is high with these guys, and they put on a blast of a live show. They also just put out a fantastic, and really fun LP, which I recommend to everyone I know. Oh, and Whitey is a really nice guy. I'm thinking that the rock quotient will be quite high -- we've been cooped-up and busy recording a full-length, so hopefully that will translate to an urgent show. Anywho, on to the business:
