| Canadian
Music Week @ The Drake Hotel
On both March 3rd and 4th DJ
Triple-X played a 3 hour exclusive set of all Canadian music.
It took a while for the crowd and staff to catch on, but soon
everyone was up asking for their favourite Canadian hit. Everything
from Bruce Cockburn and Valdy to the Spoons, the Demics, and
Les Georges Lenigrad were played over the two nights, with no
repeats of the same songs. That's 6 HOURS of all Canadian music,
for the most part non-top 40 hits, somewhat adhering to the
Triple-X format of "classic and obscure". A one of
a kind performance.
Soundtrack-The Sequel
@ The Drake Hotel
March 22nd saw
the second installment of this unique evening put on by the
Ministers of Rock. The night is a combination of DJ's, bands,
and film. The bands play their sets along to an independent
silent film, creating an original "soundtrack". Guest
DJ Triple-X provide some of the musical muses between sets.
Watch for the next edition.
Triple-X Thursdays
@ The Vatikan
On March 24th
Triple-X Productions rocked right into Good Friday with performances
by Scandalnavia and Cougar Party. The crowd was pumped and the
bands didn't disappoint. Both of these local outifts are on
the verge of great success. Scandalnavia are in the midst of
recording their first full length CD, and Cougar Party are ready
to shoot their first video. DJ Triple-X concluded the night
and kept the dance floor packed with a great mix of old and
new alternative sounds.
