Remembering Tony Sly

10:00am - 11:00am

Hello Hello Hello!

It’s been one year since Tony Sly of No Use For A Name passed away. No Use always will be one of the most important bands in my life, because they were the first proper punk rock band from North America which I saw back in 2003 at La Gabbia Music Club, Bassano de Grappa, Italy.

About a month ago, the band called Scorpios came through Vancouver. This is a band which originally featured Tony Sly, Joey Cape, Jon Snodgrass and Brian Wahlstrom. They were on a tour called “Tribute to Tony Sly" and I got a chance to talk to Jon Snodgrass (Drag The River, Armchair Martian, Scorpios). We talked about this tour, how Jon met Tony and upcoming tribute to Tony Sly. Our conversation had some emotional moments and I’m very thankful to Jon that he allowed me ask those questions.
