From Now till the end of time.
Tuesday night Burlington kicked off it's first Indie Music Night at The Dickens Pub on Elizabeth Street. This is something that I have been hoping to see ever since I moved here. Burlington is a hotbed of musical talent with limited opportunity to showcase your chops. Ben Rispin of Burly Calling has stepped up to the plate again along with Chuck Coles of the Organ Thieves and thrown together the first month of acts. I say first month as the plan is that if this is successful it will become an ongoing production till Death due us part. If last night is any indication the program is off to a great start. Chuck got things started with an amazing acoustic performance. I have always been a fan of the Organ Thieves

and it was great to see Chuck in such an intimate setting. Chuck will be hosting the event every Tuesday going forward changing things up by having locals join him for a few tunes to warm up the crowd for the evenings feature band.
Last nights feature band was Burlington's Penske File. As you all know I am a huge fan and last night they did not disappoint.

Playing many favourites , I was glad to catch these guys again before they explode and move onto the next level which they are more than ready for. The entire evening was ... wait for it .....Free!

Bam Productions Canada is looking for a few good tunes!
We are putting together a project to promote new indie music to the High schools and are looking for a few good tunes for a complimentary compilation CD. The CD will not be sold! It is strictly a promotional piece given out at High School Events. Bam Productions will cover the cost of the Printing of the CD and send one to each band. The Liner will include Artist, Title and Link to 1 social media web address of you choosing. This is at no cost to you and no profit for us; it is simply a vehicle to get your music out there. What do we get out of it? Nothing right now, we are simply trying a few things to generate excitement in the schools for new music. What do you get out of it? Hopefully new fans, followers and show attendees.
If you are interested please send you’re Band Name, Contact info including a mailing address, a link to the song you would like to submit and we will review your music. If your music is chosen, you will be sent a release form to complete. Once the CD is published we will send you a copy. Please share this with other bands you might think would be interested.
Send us your info via a message through this site on Reverbnation or through our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/BamProductionsCanada

Welcome to 2014. This year should prove to be better than the last as that is what we all strive for. In 2013 we were able to get out and about to a few shows and as budgets allow we will try and attend many more this year, focusing on indie bands, not the genre but the label meaning unsigned bands that play at the local venues throughout the year. In 2014 we got out to The Casbah in Hamilton, The Black Swan in Burlington Maxwell’s in Waterloo the Little Bean in Kitchener not to mention the GOTR Stopover in Simcoe. Watching bands progress on the web and sharing the good music we find with anyone who will listen is what we are all about. Although we have our musical preferences we are far from close minded when it comes to genres. We do however like to promote the Burlington and Kitchener Waterloo areas. That being said here are a few of the tunes that we came across in 2013 that we thought deserve a second look and we hope to see more of in 2014
