Dub at The Pub 10 Year Anniversary! Tuesday, November 25th
Nov 10, 2008
A hearty shout out to DJ's High & I. Ten years of holding down Calgary's, make that Western Canada's, best club night for Dub, Reggae, Ska, and every other subgenre of Jamaican riddims under the coconut tree. If you're in the Calgary area, make your way down to The Drum & Monkey for the anniversary party on Tuesday, November 25th, featuring a live performance by Jamaican legend Sister Nancy!
It seems like yesterday when these guys started this night, promoting it with those incredible mixtapes. Here's to 10 more years. Al, you've made your godsons proud. Peace.

Greetings folks,
Thought I'd spread the word about a cool event happening at The Roxy Cinegog this coming Saturday, courtesy of Teenage Depression! From the TD website:
OK folks...we've got a few copies of the DVD of The Germs movie, "What We Do Is Secret" up for grabs...and we're gonna give 'em away at a private screening of the film, this weekend. If you want to come check out the film...and maybe even take home your own copy...drop us a line at mail@teenagedepression.ca with "Germs" in the subject line, and we'll let you know the details.
Speaking of www.teenagedepression.ca , La-Ti-Da will be partnering up with Wolfgang for a pair of upcoming events at Logan's Pub.
First up is The Gung-Ho's reunion show on November 29th.
La-Ti-Da & Teenage Depression will be spinning records between bands. Thanks to Your Family Butcher (http://www.myspace.com/yourfamilybutcher) and Jono Jak for putting this all together.
Secondly, swing by Logan's on Thursday, December 4th for the 3rd annual Rock N' Roll Market, presented by Clove & Anchor Entertainment and Sideshow. We'll be sharing a table and hocking our wares between 5:00 and 9:30.
Lots more updates on the way!
