(902)453-2844 That's his number, call him and tell what's going down in your scene that he should be paying attention to. DON'T phone him up and yell your ass off at his machine telling him how stunned he is. Phone him and just let him know everytime you rfavourite band is doing something and keep him informed. If you leave enough information on a consistent basis, hew will probably come and do something when the time and band gives him enough reasons to. He's not just going to show up and cover all the local bands from the ground up. He is broadcasting nationally and therefore has responsibilty to represent bands that will have some interest on a national level, whether it be because they just released an album nationally, made an independent video, organized a festival, came up with a cool PR stunt or because the general viewership requests the information a certain band. That said, I am not a big fan of Mike or of Much East, but once we got him to come to Newfoundland he was quite receptive to our requests for interviews slots and gig coverage, and I was quite happy with what went to air even though everybody else in my band got named except me (I guess that's what happens when you tell them your name is Smug Bastard). But the fact is, it took him 2 fucking years to get here. How can you do an Eastern Canadian Music show and not go to one of the 4 provinces for 2 fucking years. Now I fax him every press release I can get my hands on, gigs, record launches, updates on the scene, and anything I can get around to sending. Come to think of it I think I'll send one tomorrow and try and get him here for New Years Eve when Potmaster, Bung and Lizband play at the LSPU HALL. HUB
