Last week’s Rockucation question was: Can you name 5 Canadian rock groups, notice I said groups, no artists. Evan Portno, from Coventry RI, got this one right first. SO many of you got four , but there is a lot, trust me. He had Rush, Monster Truck (nice to see something new get noticed), Theory Of A Deadman, Sum 41 and who can ever forget Nickelback, though I know some of you would. Some other famous bands are Heart, Triumph, Helix, BTO, Guess Who, Anvil and April Wine.
KIX will be releasing their new record: Rock Your Face Off on August 5. Soon to be heard on radio is their new single, Love Me With Your Top Down.
Brian Johnson of AC/DC states that the band will probably tour by the end of the year. That’s great news for fans.
This year’s Uproar Festival has Godsmack and Seether as headliners along with bands Buckcherry and Skillet. You can get more details here, including tour dates: http://www.rockstaruproar.com/
April Wine is still looking for a singer to replace Myles Goodwyn. You need to know two songs: Roller and Just Between You And Me. You can send your YouTube auditions too auditions@aprilwine.ca.
Like we need another thing about the Beatles. NBC is doing an 8 part mini series on the history of the Beatles. I personally think there is enough stuff out there, that if you didn’t already know everything about the Beatles, you could very easily access it. Give another band some love, like Led Zep or The Stones.
Silvertung, is still looking for some help. Please check it out. You can read their story and see if you can help them reach their goal. Details are here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/677294844/breaking-a-band-creating-a-new-nation-let-s-rock-t
