Why should I go?
Come on...who hasn’t wanted to sing in a punk supergroup at least once in your life. Ok, maybe not everyone has, but seriously if you’re a fan of punk, this is pretty frikkin cool. You get to sing (you better know the words) iconic punk songs with a band made up of former members from Bad Religion, Goldfinger, Adolescents among others. This show is only hitting up a few select cities in Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton and London) before they head to New York so come on out!

Red Hill Valleys with MATTIE LEON, ABIGAL LAPELL & SWEET ROGER @ This Ain't Hollywood
Genre: Folk, Americana, Southern Rock
Time: 8pm (7:30 doors)
$6 at the door
Why should I go?
The Red Hill Valleys sway between country, folk, americana and southern rock. I like this band because they don't take themselves too seriously and you feel like you're listening to a bunch of friends at a house party - you'll love it. On top of that, they have a really great line up for the night with Sweet Roger, Mattie Leon and Abigal Lapelle. Try not to miss this show. find out more about the artists in this show
SIANspheric @ This Ain't Hollywood
Personal bias disclosure, I've like this band ever since I saw them touring their 1995 release Somnium. Along with bands like Tristan Psionic, Danko Jones, Eric's Trip, and Thrush Hermit, SIANspheric helped to create a uniquely Canadian take on the 90's with lush guitars, atmospheric arrangements and floating vocals.
