Hardcore Appreciation Fest.
I really am probably the world's worst blogger. I neglect my blog for long amounts of time. Anyways here's some news you can use:
Hardcore Appreciation Fest. is happening at the Corktown Pub in Hamilton on February 20th. Originally it was a two-day festival but due to venue conflicts the first day was cut. Kind of sketchy and weird, perhaps they should have gotten a contract with the venue, or at least some form of written confirmation. Also adding to the sketchy-ness of the event is that Day two was originally being headlined by Defeater and Ruiner. After James from Uplift (http://www.myspace.com/uplifttoronto) posted on the event wall that Defeater wasn't confirmed for the event the promoter received a nasty shock that somehow or other, he had not actually confirmed the band and Defeater was removed from the bill. Written confirmation definitely would have been helpful here.
Apart from all the confusion I really hope that this event goes well because there are a lot of amazing bands playing - Ruiner, Uplift, Rah, Shut Eyes, and Stay Young to name a few. (Full list below) Tickets are $12ADV/$15 DOORS and can be bought online here or in Hamilton at Dr. Disc, Cheapies and The Corktown Tavern. The venue capacity is apparently only 300 people so it remains to be seen if tickets will be available at the door or not. I'm guessing probably. Either way I already have my tickets and look forward to/am hoping for an awesome night.
Bands playing are as follows:
RUINER - Baltimore Hardcore (Bridge Nine)
