(You found Warrant? There's Warrant on this iPod?!? © 2008 Benjamin Luk.)
You've probably been wondering what the fuck is going on.
I don't blame you. No updates in a month now, and not even so much as an album review? Did Ben and Pearce suddenly decide to return to real life, where there's probably much more productive things to be done than updating a blog that not enough people know about anyway?
Um. Kinda. Yeah.
It's still searchable online, but one of our sister blogs, The Bermuda Triangle, just bit it recently, announcing via Facebook that the upkeep of the site just took more work than anyone expected to keep the damn thing running. They've effectively closed their online doors as of three weeks ago. Why, you ask? Because we have to work hard to keep this shit coming and sometimes, there's other stuff we'd rather be doing! But allow me to get something straight here: ThatRockBlog.com isn't going anywhere anytime soon. We just don't have it in us to hit up the concerts and write a full article every time we like an album, when we're having to work at the same goddamn time! But in an effort to condense our thoughts from the past four weeks, here's what we've been listening to.
Any way you slice it though, we've been busy. I've been off shooting fashion shows and discovering just how much I like wine, and Pearce has been sick as a dog between day calls as Owen Wilson's stand-in on "Night at the Museum 2". Also, Kaleena might be scheduled to make a reappearance, and Ian's apparently checking out some pretty snazzy music-related stuff in Budapest. Yes, that Budapest. We function on an international level now.
On one final and more serious note however, local musicians Hotel Lobbyists are not in a good place right now. If you haven't heard already (and you should have if you're into the local music scene at all), Hotel Lobbyists drummer Mike Gurr has passed away and vocalist/guitarist James Wood is in critical condition following a terrible car accident somewhere between Winnipeg and Calgary. Help their families out by heading over to Pub 340 on Thursday, October 16th for a night of live music from friends of the Lobbyists, including The Smokes and No Horses. Doors at 8, tickets are $10. All proceeds go to the families of Mike and James.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go dive into a bottle of red from the Niagara Peninsula. Que sera, syrah.
