Woah!! Look Who`s Comin To Town!!

Usually the thing that bothers me the most about living in London, Ont. Is the lack of bands that play here...Sure there are good shows to check out everyonce in awhile but for the most part artists usually skip over London and head right for Detroit or Toronto. I guess its a good thing because if I lived in one of these cities I`d be broke. It has gotten a little better now that the John Labatt Center has entered the picture, but now it seems that you have to sell a kidney or get up at 5am to get tix..Why am I bitching you ask?? I`m not...It just seems that there are a lot of concerts coming up right here in my hometown that I will possibly be attending, and I`m not used to that. Here`s a list of what`s coming up in London that I think is worth checking. Friday April 28 - PILATE @ Call The Office (Free Show Wsg CD Purchase) Wednesday May 10 - THE STROKES @ JLC Thursday May 11 - MONEEN wsg THE MELIGROVE BAND @ Call The Office $12.50 Saturday May 13 - BRIAN BYRNE (Ex Lead Singer Of I Mother Earth) @ Chapters Saturday May 13 - BLACK CROWS wsg MATT MAYS/EL TORPEDO @ JLC Monday May 15 - INXS @ JLC Thursday May 18 - THE STILLS wsg RAISING THE FAWN. $15 Saturday May 20 - JOEL PLASKETT EMERGENCY $12 Sunday May 28 - THE CULT @ JLC Tuesday June 13 - BRIGHT EYES @ Centennial Hall Saturday July 15 - YARDBIRDS @ London International Blues Festival Thursday - Saturday July 20-22 - EDDIE MONEY, PETER FRAMPTON, ALICE COOPER, QUIET RIOT @ Rock The Park Thursday - Friday July 20-21 - LOVERBOY, APRIL WINE, KIM MITCHELL, STYX @ Harris Park Lots of acts eh?? Yeah I thought so too (hence today`s post)....I`m really surprised that Brian Byrne is playing @ Chapters of all places!!..Now as for today`s music I`m gonna leave ya with some tracks from the new Goo Goo Dolls album...Yeah I know...I`m a closet Goo Goo Dolls fan. Usually I`m not really into bands that are over played on the radio but I have a good relationship with the Goo Goo Dolls (they put out albums and I listen). TRUE STORY: When the album Dizzy Up The Girl came out in Sept 1998, I skipped school and drove all the way to Toronto (2hr drive), got McDonalds and then came back. Just cause I wanted to hear the album...CN Goo Goo Dolls - Give A Little Bit *Supertramp Cover Goo Goo Dolls - Listen Goo Goo Dolls - Stay With You Goo Goo Dolls - Let Love In
