Hot Little Rocket - Danish Documentary (2001)




Oh! Hot Little Rocket. One of our all-time favourites. We know we've said that before, but every time we dig out one of their CDs we're reminded of how great they were. Although what jumps out for us now is how high Andrew Wedderburn's voice is - especially compared to his recent stuff with Night Committee. We also forgot that this CD has the lyrics on the inner sleeve - we've spent the last 15 years scratching our heads over some of these phrases for nothing!

Co-Dependents - Live Recording Event (2001)



We're headed to the year 2001 - which was a pretty great year if you were hanging around at the Mecca Cafe, because you were probably listening to the legendary Co-Dependents. We can't remember exactly how Billy Cowsill ended up in Calgary or how he hooked up with Steve Pineo, but what they cooked up along with Tim Leacock and Ross Watson was magic. Even the Mecca being burnt down in the summer of 2002 didn't curb their might.

3D Electric Jesus - Anonymous (1995)


We KIND of remember 3D Electric Jesus. Or maybe it's just the band name we remember - things get pretty jumbled in our heads sometimes. This is heavier alt rock, probably one of the bazillion bands that Krisjan Leslie recorded at thee olde Sundae Sound in the mid-90's.

Acid Mirage - A Darkened Sun (1994)

 

Here's another tape from Steph Adams, and from a band we have no info on. We know that Acid Mirage played the Black Lounge from show listings at the time... but beyond that, nada. But we DID listen to this tape (we listen to 'em all!) and can you this has pretty strong prog rock and metal influences and a lot of really great guitar work. We're kind of curious to know how this would have gone over at the Black Lounge - these aren't simple punk songs, they're much meatier.
