The Remedials Raid The Airwaves

Original Post Date: Friday, January 27, 2006

Just when you thought you'd seen everything on TV or that it couldn't get any worse. After much drunken deliberation and finally a double dare...

Gabe from The Remedials will have his own reoccurring segment on "A New Rock Reality" TV show appropriately entitled "The Remedial Report". Who woulda thought those e-mail rumours would turn out to be true! During these segments Gabe will discuss the Vancouver music scene, upcoming shows, reviews of concerts he's gone to, of course all things V.B.A. related and whatever else he can rant about. Gabe is still in negotiations with his agent to get the best contract for himself he's currently seeking a 3-year multi-million dollar deal. Once the legalities have been worked out the camera will begin to roll as will heads when these segments air. So if you don't already watch "A New Rock Reality" on Novus Channel 34 well here's another reason not to but if you do you guys and girls get the bonus plan!

If that wasn't bad enough look forward to the first contest on "A New Rock Reality" which will be win a date/night out with The Remedials and/or Denderah or Gabe from The Remedials and Kristin Unger go on blind dates with the contest winners. Bands and format subject to change at anytime but if ya want in e-mail: revolutionproductions@shaw.ca to enter. Contestants must be over the age of 19 or have a really good fake ID. You'll get to hang with the bad apples of the V.B.A. since Denderah is the only other band that can drink as much as us, well except maybe Willy B. Sober. Get a night on the town with these two bands and have your drinks paid for, too bad The Remedials can't enter... The whole night of drunken debauchery will be filmed and shown on a future episode of "A New Rock Reality". Stick around for details on this fabulous prize and good luck to all who enter your gonna need it if ya win!

The Remedials will also have one of their songs on an extreme sports TV show! We'll let ya know what song and when the show airs. As well, there's a possibility a Remedials song could be used as wrestler entry music for a semi-pro wrestling circuit! The Remedials think "Possessed" could work but that wrestler is gonna have to book straight to the ring since the songs like 49 seconds long. We'll see how that plays out but that would be rad like Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka leaping off the top rope!

The Remedials Seedy Release Party will be at the Asbalt (Astoria Hotel) on Friday February 10, 2006! Remember kids, if ya don't have a Remedials CD well then you're just not cool!
