The legendary Canadian puck rock band The Hanson Brothers will be in town at Il Motore this Sunday, and we've got an interview with Johnny Hanson TONIGHT! Stephanie Dee from Champions of the Local Scene has questions for Johnny about homebrewing, his collaboration with Le Trou du Diable, and the current state of NHL hockey. Tune in tonight, April 4th, at 8pm for all the mayhem.

In town April 8th @ Sala Rossa opening for La Dispute, Seatttle via Louisville band Mansions has always been a Sonics favourite ever since I was asked to cook up some radio edits for their debut full length New Best Friends. We'll be re-airing an old interview that was done with Christopher Browder, the man behind the songs, that was done around the time he was supporting their sophomore album Dig Up the Dead. Mansions is currently supporting their latest release, and one of my favourite records of 2013, Doom Loop.

Tune in to Hooked on Sonics TONIGHT at 6pm, if you want people to think you are rad.

Today on Champions of the Local Scene, host Andrew Weiler from Grade A Explosives will be interviewing scholar, metalhead, and the man behind Grimposium, Dr. Vivek Venkatesh. Tune in at 6pm TONIGHT (April 2).

Upon entering the Théâtre Corona, I had no idea that my ticket of admission also doubled as a one-way train ticket to an elevated state of mind. Before the show, I was stressed about the school year coming to an end, and all of the exams and final papers piling up made me question whether or not going to a concert in the midst of the mayhem would serve me any good.

Nonetheless, Cut Copy and Jessy Lanza obliterated my self-doubt. They conducted a fast-paced joy ride, which allowed me to travel from a dark and troubled mind to a land of care free-joy.
