Filed under: hype, music, news, winnipeg — Tags: , , , — KingORock @ 8:59 pm December 1, 2009

November 30th 2009 – Winnipeg’s revamped West End Cultural Center was the site of rocking, rolling and dudes singing about feelings. It was my first visit to the West End Cultural center since it’s make over and I must say; Volunteers suck at pouring beer. Look at this shi~ >

$4 for some d!ck to pour a glass of foam - then $uccessfully empty a 1/4 of the actual beer he managed to get out*!

I will take part of the blame for this beer fiasco. I bought a Bulldog Amber Ale. Like many a Winnipegers it’s a tough pour.

As for the bands…..

Passenger Action
I’m listening to the myspace page right now. I’d have to say I like them better recorded than I did last night. They’re kinda like Moneen meets awkward changes & guitar delay. They are better than the UK Passenger Action 4 sho. I miss Choke.

Edmontonians + Tech-space-punk = ~7.68/10

Sights and Sounds
I didn’t realize this band had Winnipeg roots & I wish them the best, but daaamnn. Musically boring; though the white-belt, flat iron, eunuch children seemed to like them. Maybe I’m out of touch. Touch them on your space.

Winnipeggers who should stick to h@rdcore = ~5.11/10

Moneen
I saw these guys when they were young, drop kicking maniacs. Although they’ve grown up and focused their energy more on playing the right notes; Moneen still rocks (as much as this genre lets them).

The addition of laptops, keyboards and extra floor toms for everyone didn’t even seem pretentious. It added to layers to their songs and brought the crowd in. Kenny still manged some guitar spins & high kicks and that hippie still has those stank dreads.

Still artfully explosive = ~8.98/10

Downtown Destination: Aluminum Sound

Cheap burnables, internet, movies and munchies for burnouts

Cheap burnables, internet, movies and munchies for burnouts

Aluminum Sound is my downtown spot for CD-R’s. They kick the $hit out of Staples on price and selection + they sell used movies and CD’s.

I’ve never bought a CD there, as I already have 2 copies of most Brian Adams records and they seldom have much else that catches my eye. I was, however, lucky enough to score a Peter Criss pin and the original batman movie for $8 last time I stopped by.

There is an internet cafe in the back, so be warned: You may encounter the occasional fat slob stoner ‘net junkie. If you’re in the area and don’t feel like walking the extra block to Dominion News; they sell pipes, papers and the rest of that w33d smokin’ shi~ as well.

Protestors raged with their sandwich board signs; remained peacful with their actions.

There is about 5 anti-abortion protesters in front of the Graham Woman’s Clinic right now. If you want to look like a f#cking a$$hole you should go grab a sign and join them.

Demonstrators offered to care for the babies they saved, but noted they were really old

It is unclear whether the protestors had pre-meditated their assault. The uDKS investigative team has reason to believe all 5 people involved are connected to a nearby denture clinic. Should you be walking in the area between now and naptime; please take care.

This is what happens when you leave an HP box in the backseat of your car on the corner of Rorie and Lombard… No one is to blame other than the Twinkie eating, Sprite for breakfast drinking co-worker of mine who was dumb enough to not realize where we are located. Good Job bitch.
