Gabe from The Remedials checked out the Shindig Finals at the Railway Club after getting on the guest list to see Fun 100 for the second time. While there he got to hang out with cool guys in The Ingredients (VBA band) who filmed an interview for “A New Rock Reality”. Unfortunately, there was more footage required to finish the latest episode…
The next night Gabe filmed a promo to pimp the next VBA show in which The Remedials will be playing! Having nothing to else to do that night he went on the road with Scott of The Weedies to get more footage for “A New Rock Reality”. After picking up Kristin (a promising sound engineering student and musician) who’s interested in helping out the VBA it was off to Superior Skate and Tattoos on “The Drive” to interview the legendary Goonie! We got a tour of the shop hung out with the resident ink slinger Dennis (Dog Eat Dogma and The Inebriators) and his rottweiler and got some great footage (which Gabe filmed, hey this gig paid more than anything he’s done with The Remedials) of Scott skateboarding and an interview with The Goon. While at the shop Gabe talked with Goonie about old school skate decks while reminiscing about his Powell Peralta Caballero and vintage toys. During the interview Scott and Goonie dropped some info on what they have planned for the Dec. 21st show, which if we weren’t already gonna be there, were really gonna be there now! Not only does Superior do skateboards and tattoos Goonie mentioned but they’ll also do piercings soon to which Gabe contemplated on getting a Prince Albert. While on the way out Goonie had to pry the Hosoi Hammerhead deck from Gabe who just couldn’t let it go when checking it out.
Once that was done it’s off to Skookum’s rehearsal space to film an interview and get footage of them playing. The guys in Skookum are totally rad and did a great cover of a certain “Team America” theme song with a Canadian spin and some cool hockey tunes. The rehearsal space could use some work or maybe some more heaters but the plastic sheets on the windows kinda helped keep the cold out!
With the night still young it was off to The Candy Bar, which will host a lot of VBA shows in the future. We got a brief tour of the place that includes a restaurant in front, which is right outta the 50’s complete with booths and swivel chairs at the bar. The stage in the back is the best though, Gabe instantly dug it cause it’s so punk rock and now he can’t wait to play! We hung out there for a while had a few beers, dropped Kristin off and headed to The Buffalo Club on Granville.
Scott had to grab some promo for the Dec. 21st show from Sean of SPM Music who got us into the show for free! We got to see and hang out with the girls of Cherrybomb (who will soon be changing their name) totally checked out Nikki Hurst but booked before Suzi Rawn (this girl is really short) from Canadian Idol hit that stage. At the end of the day Scott had more that enough footage to complete Episode 6 of “A New Rock Reality” and Gabe got really drunk so it worked out well for everyone. Whoa, what a long night and Gabe still had free tickets to “The Like” (whoever they are) in his back pocket!
