sonic unyon

[Kelly A. Ruberto]

 i know this isn't really east coast related but...

 last night i went to the sonic unyon records christmas
 party in toronto. most of the sonic unyon bands played
 including: gorp, sianspheric, smoother, shaller (formerly
 known as shallow), poledo, tristan psionic, kittens, and
 the new grand.
 the place was pretty packed. the night got off to kind of
 a rough start because people had to wait outside in the
 cold for a really long time because the club (lee's palace)
 were beings assholes and making everyone do a mandatory
 coat check. this took so long that when the new grand hit
 the stage at 8:15, there were only about 40 people inside.

 other than that, the show was a great success.

 in response to something that tara da costa posted a little
 while ago:
 1) the new grand are indeed now officially signed to sonic
   unyon. they will be going to calgary on boxing day to do
   some recording for a seven inch that will be out on bubblegun
   records in a few monthes (radioblaster will also be on it).
   they are also planning on releasing a cd on sonic unyon
   in the spring/summer next year. they were talking to
   brendan mcguire last night about producing their cd.

  2) i'm pretty sure that treblecharger are not moving to new
   york city. i think tara misunderstood what she read. (it
   was sort of vague). actually they signed to rca records out
   of new york city. they plan on staying on sonic unyon in
   canada though.

 also, it will be at least six weeks until treblecharger
   will be playing any shows because greig (guitarist) shattered
   his wrist in a snowboarding mishap.
