Tune in to Maiden Voyage this Monday, May 5th from 5-6pm for a live session with local band Diamond Bones. Having been together just over a year, with humble beginnings in a suburban garage, they’ve grabbed the attention of audiences locally and throughout various parts of Canada and the USA with their magnetic live shows. Recent notable performances included showcases at POP Montreal  and CMJ Music Festivals in the fall of 2013, and opening slots for such reputed acts as Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Chad Valley and J.D Samson and MEN. They're currently one of the top 10 national semi-finalists in CBC's Searchlight Contest. Their music is sure to get you dancing in your seat so make sure you keep it locked on 1690am/CJLO.com

[UPDATE] THIS FRIDAY, May 2nd on ON EPISODE 24 OF Shibuya Crossing, we featured the sounds from Next Music from Tokyo (NMFT), the annual cross-country Canadian music tour featuring the coolest, most eclectic and underground Japanese rock bands to date. CLICK HERE to listen (Mirror) 

This year's bands include Kinoko Teikoku, Uchu Conbini, Happy! Mari, Jizue and nayuta - and all of them will be visiting this wonderful city to perform for one night - May 19th at Le Divan Orange.

And to celebrate that episode, we’re giving away free passes, courtesy of Steve Tanaka and the NMFT crew!
 

It's easy to win! Just e-mail your name and phone number to SHIBUYA1690 [at] CJLO [dot] COM between NOW and Friday, May 16th at Noon. Three winners will be chosen at random, where each will win two passes - one for themselves and another one for someone to tag along with.

Just be sure that you will be in the city on Monday, May 19th - or you will miss out on some really out-of-this-world music that you won't get to hear everyday!

To learn more about these cool artists and more about the colorly crossroads of Japanese rock, tune in to Shibuya Crossing, every Friday at 9 AM on CJLO 1690AM in Montreal.

Good luck to you - and as a bonus - rock out to a few tracks prepared for you to learn more about these cool bands. Enjoy!

Police arrested two women in Southern Ontario for breaking into the homes of people who were attending funerals.

The two women, 26 and 45, apparently used social media and obituaries to find potential victims.

The CBC reported that over 12 homes from Hamilton to Waterloo were robbed.

The pair managed to steal over $100,000 in items and cash before getting caught.
