SPRING MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Hey everybody,

Don't worry, the week's playlist is coming in the next day or so, but I just wanted to remind y'all that our membership drive is coming up the week of April 15.  CIUT depends so much on support from the community, not only financially but also to show the licence powers-that-be that community radio continues to be a vital part of society not only for music lovers, but also for those interested in spoken word programming that would otherwise never be aired.

So....call in to the station during the week of the drive (during Ruby Slippers would be amazing) or donate online at www.ciut.fm. And remember to say that Ruby Slippers sent ya.

I personally will be manning the phones throughout the week, and would love to connect with you, the listeners.

Much love, and thanks for listening!

Last Installment of the Completely Incomplete CMW Guide

Hey everybody,

The last day of a glorious week of music and forums and film.

Although the list of options is somewhat smaller, and I am posting later than usual, there are some cool things going on around the city.  I hope you enjoyed the madness, and will be inspired not only to look up many of the bands you heard or didn't have a chance to hear, but to also run at NXNE full speed in the months ahead!  CIUT will have a music showcase, and we are so very excited about it.

Keep tuned for more info, but now...here's what I would do.

The Garrison   billed as Katie Stelmanis (Austra) and friends weekly hangout :Emma McKenna and others

Crawford   a tribute to 70's Punk Music with tons of DJ's to see you through until late  (limited access so be early)

The Opera House *****  starts at 6:30 Supernova Presents Future Stars of CMW with a slew of bands. Discover someone new!  

Virgin Mobile Mod Club...same deal, in fact it's called the Deal Showcase , doors opened two hours ago, and continues to rock on.

Thanks for checking in.  If you have any bands you were impressed with, please post them on this blog or at carolbonciut.blogspot.com   

It's been a blast!  Until next time, be safe out there. 

More Completely Incomplete CMW Recommendations for Sat.

Hey everybody

THIS IS THE TOUGHEST YET!!!!!  Whatcha gonna do with all these choices and likely way more crowds and..... arghhh!

However, there are many many flavours of venues to chose from, and if you have the time to line up or are totally open to anything at all  (my personal favorite way to attack a festival) you will not be disappointed.  Think how cool it will be over the watercooler (do they still have those?) to talk about a band no one has ever heard before? Think about it.

So here is my random list for the night.

Horseshoe Tavern   Aussie BBQ starting at noon.....nice way to get going on your day...With Black Chords, Grey Ghost and a whole lot more

Central   if you have never heard After Runnymede, do so.  I have spoken

Clinton's   for a 60's Dance party with Bangs and Blush.  Good if you have finished with all the running around and just want to party!

Comfort Zone    for the Shout Out Out Out Out  DJ set to finish your night

The El Mo    who doesn't love Tin Star Orphans?

Horseshoe Tavern    OH MY GOD  BadBadNotGood, Shout Out Out Out, and Dirty Nil  Need I say more?

Rivoli  (after 9 pm)  Danger Bees, Old Man Luedecke, Cousins and others

Dakota Tavern  great line up with Schomberg Fair

Danforth Music Hall    if you are lucky, Austra.  This is a get-there-early committment

Garrison    Indie Montreal Showcase with Lakes of Canada and oOoOo  (witch house, played on the show)

Great Hall    Arghhh! ANOTHER stellar line up! First come, first served.  Shadowy Men, Sadies, and many more presented by Fucked Up Last Long Winter concert series

Hoxton  Iceland Showcase.....You could be witness to the next big thing here from the land of Bjork  I'm just sayin'

TIFF Bell Lightbox

Bad Brains: A band in DC    and Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me

If you don't have tickets to Sharon Van Ellen and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, I fear you are out of luck.

Anyway, be safe out there.  Wear your writband proudly and stay tuned for the last installment of this Completely Incomplete Guide to CMW.
