Probably House takeover.

See you on June 14th.

NEXT SHOW!!!

JUNE 14TH we're being taken over by Pink Lemonade records, its kinda like a mutiny but more like when the captains sayin here, you steer s**t I'm on smoko.

Pink Lemonade Records is a label outta Waterloo that's done an excellent job building a scene by consistently putting on dope shows and putting out great records. Many of the bands you see at our place have benefited from the hard work Zack, Scott and Cody do and we wanna thank em by celebrating the glue that holds it all together, Pink Lemonade. You should probably go follow em. .lemonade.records

Also check out , the bar crawl festival they've been doing most long weekends for a few years now. I've been lucky enough to attend 3 of them, they are fu**in rad n just quick scoot down the 401.

We're super pumped for this one! The return of Blue Freezie, some FU***NG SKA! from one of our most requested-not-yet-probably'd bands Arcade All Stars, the emo-pop-punk-mathy vibe from London based The Ivy Light and yOUR Pal Bill fresh off his pouzza run last week!!!

And a freakin awesome artist feature I'll be announcing real soon!!

Everywhere you find your local shows, there's a ton of people doing thankless work behind the scenes to make em happen n we wanna recognize that by putting their collective front and center, so expect to see a few more like this.

Joseph Gallo Jr. x Long Weekend Band Crawl.

Facebook event: Long Weekend Band Crawl - Sunday, May 18th (Volume 12)

Kicking things off at Midnight Run we have a man with his piano and many stories to share through art. Proud to have Joseph Gallo Jr. at the Crawl!

Artist bio:
“Joseph Gallo Jr. writes songs from the gut. His haunting, mellifluous voice intermingles with gorgeous piano arrangements to take the listener on a harmonic ride full of twists and turns - all while remaining grounded in the narrative of the song.
At times vulnerable, personal and raw - other times told from various characters at a distance - these eloquent piano ballads conjure up scenes of heartache, nightmares riddled with guilt and the hard to swallow lessons of tough love/regret (with a healthy dose of self deprecation to boot).

Fans of Randy Newman, McCartney/Lennon, Harry Nilsson and Tobias Jesso Jr. take heed.”
