Thanks to everyone that came down to the show last night at the Horseshoe! I think we lost a few people because of the weather, but it was a great show. The Mountainside Band got things started right with some crunchy rock. The Kelele Brothers wowed the crowd with their acoustic harmonies.

- The Wooden Stars came to me in a dream
New today to Zunior.com...all three albums by Ottawa s Wooden Stars. It was back in 1997 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, when I awoke to sounds to fog-drenched horns of a ship in Halifax harbour. For some reason, my brain magically blended the horns into the beginning of a song I d heard called The Festival Of Fire, from their album Mardi Gras. I d known the band for a few years, but that day they became a personal favourite.

>>Wed:12-15-04

- Peep-Show rocks the Ramada
We re currently working on an album called the Zunior Holiday Collection that will be given free to everyone that bought an album from us in 2004. The album will feature one-of-a-kind songs from Zunior artists including Tim Mech, who is currently on tour as a guitar tech with The Tragically Hip. Tim is going to brew up a special hotel room recording just for this record. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to XMas.

- Electronic artist Dorje makes music for Madonna
We just launched a new album by Toronto s Dorje. His new album Rising Sun is an amazing package of acoustic guitar and electronic beats. He has a very unique claim to fame...Dorje is Madonna s official ringtone producer. Dealing directly with the icon herself, Dorje creates phone ringtones to her specifications. This is just his day job, though, as Dorje is an accomplished composer, producer, and musician. Check it out!

- Ben Gunning and Clark live at the 360 in Toronto
I went to see a great show last night at the 360 from two artists coming soon to Zunior. Clark is a band from Ottawa that features the music of a band fronted by John Tielli. John is an old friend that used to play in a great band called People From Earth. Ben Gunning headlined the show with a collection of amazing songs that feature his futuristic acid crunch guitar style. Both bands have new records coming to Zunior in the next month.

- Inbreds DVD finally available on Zunior
Created with help of Dante Entertainment in Toronto, the new DVD collects some of my favourite moments from The Inbreds. The highlight has to be the section I call Home Movies featuring the recording of Winning Hearts in Toronto. See Mike battle a constant trail of ants while trying to sleep on the studio floor.

- Friends in local places
Thanks to our good friend Zack Zildjan who is doing an amazing job promoting Zunior in the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. He volunteered to put up posters around the city promoting Mike O Neill s new album. That is dedication, and that is appreciated! If you would like to do something similar in your city, contact me today at dave@zunior.com.
