Music Requests

[shanmonster]

This isn't the sort of music request you typically see in a blog entry. I'm not looking for mp3s or bootlegs, but something completely different.

I have two main requests:

1. Irish music/dance contacts in southern Ontario willing to perform in Hamilton (and perhaps elsewhere....)
   
2. Contacts for industrial- and punk-friendly venues in Moncton, Halifax, and maybe even Fredericton

I am also keeping an eye out for goth/metal/industrial/hardcore/dark alternative bands with a great sound and magnificent stage presence. Preferably bands in the southern Ontario region, although I won't discount anyone who's willing to road trip and couch surf (and if you're south of the Canadian border, you've got to be able to get across without legal hitches).

I know some of my old campus/community radio cronies still read my blatherings. So come on out of the woodwork, won't you? My workload is spidering outward....

I was just going to say the same thing, but through persephoneplace (since I have not met her boy as of yet).

*is stunned*

We've never met ourselves, but we travel in the same circles (apparently). :D

I'm realizing this. :)

Djilia Phralengo (http://www.djiliaphralengo.com/) (also on myspace) has some celtic/gypsy-ish sounding music... also with a Spanish/flamenco flair... and some metal influences, too. He plays at the Michigan Renaissance Festival among other places... don't know if he'd be able/willing to do stuff in southern Ontario or not, but he might be up for it.

Can't help with venues on your side of the border...
