A Halloween Extravaganza!
This Friday at the Electric Owl Social Club(928 Main Street) our friends are throwing a HUGE party featuring:
Beat Connection
This Surf Pop Duo made up of Jordan Koplowitz and Reed Juenger is based out of seattle and are surely ready to make your Halloween more than AMAZING. The Guardian had this to say about the lead single off of their 2011 release Surf Noir
“Their debut single, Silver Screen, is led by flutes and sounds like Flowered Up’s It’s On (surely a coincidence), even a Sting song – or at least Sting if he was forced at gunpoint to produce his first decent record since Bed’s Too Big Without You. It’s positively jaunty. We know nothing jaunty has ever been good, but somehow this is.”
with opening acts:
Too High Crew
Teen Daze
Blood Diamonds
There is gonna be a costume contest(with great prizes from inhale smoke shop and Lifetime Collective) AND a Blanche Macdonald Photobooth!
Doors are at 8pm
Advance tickets are $12 and can be found here

Radio has been a theme of movies lately, such as Talk to Me (2007) starring Don Cheadle. Most recently Alberta-born writer, director and producer Aaaron James Sorenson brings the college radio environment to the movie screen.
Campus Radio is about the romantic and professional travails of Xavier Thortenberry (Tom Belding), a unicycle-riding band manager and college radio DJ who falls for his group’s new lead singer. It is a lovely romantic drama and comedy taking place in a college radio station, with a sprinkling of indie rock for edge.
“I now realize it’s for people who have that deep relationship with music where it’s their best friend. This is a guy who, when the going gets tough, he turns to his vinyl record collection. He doesn’t really have any close friends; he goes to his music. There are a few of us like that”, said Sorenson to Edmonton Journal.
The filmmaker also stressed the importance of a campus radio. “They have these diverse communities that somehow manage to get along together: you’ll have the radical lesbian hour, young conservatives, death metal and Goths followed by Christians”, he added.
The movie premiere will happen this Friday in Edmonton. For more information look at:
