No More Strangers Update

You know what it’s like when you sweat blood, cry tears, shit yourself, shit tears of cry-blood and work really hard to make something fun and awesome? Well, here’s the story of No More Strangers, a little Tomas the Tank Engine party that WinnieCooper.net started at a local bar. After having our slow clap moment, in the form of an awesome, packed to the walls local bands extravaganza on our night….we got bitchslapped. Bar owner greed, stupidity, poor advising, perhaps Satan, all collided and the No More Strangers crew were informed by the host bar that things were going to change. The owner’s completely unreasonable demands left the NMS promoters no choice but to end the night abruptly, pack their little musician suitcases and head out in search of a new home.

We want to thank everyone for their support in the past few days, it has been really inspiring.

THE PARTY DID CONTINUE this past Saturday at a new Venue we are sussing out, Smileys! at 911 W Pender where we brought the same DIY party, rad bands, silly tunes and cheap drinks minus that terrible slum lord urine smell.

We have some photos from the night here.  Big thanks for everyone that came out, Wreck Beach, Makeout Videotape and Bad Fate who kept the show going! We will not die!  Join our No More Strangers facebook page for all upcoming info.

We have some amazing video from Basketball’s live set from our Basketball, Gang Violence, Babe Rainbow and Boogie Monster show two weeks ago. Turn it up real loud and its almost like your there. The show was a highlight of my life.  The most credible Indie Vancouver music site, From Blown Speakers said some really rad stuff about the show. If you missed it, Basketball play with No Gold and Human (who are also playing our Halloween party) tomorrow (tue Oct 27th) at Fortune. GO AND SEE THEM. they will blow yr mind.  Get there early its going to be packed.

Show details to follow on our super rad Halloween show, now moved to The Lions Den.

This is my current jam. Vancouver’s Bob Rock (Motley Crue / Metallica) first group.
