Playlist for April 28th, 2010

We've got a good show planned for you, including some very Carrribean cover fire. It's gonna be a crazy party. Also, if you're in town tomorrow (Thursday, April 29) head over to Louis' to check out Def 3 and Kay the Aquanaut [link]. It promises to be real.

All right homies, let's get down to some real shit. There was a sad passing last week that we forgot to mention properly on the show. Devon Clifford, the drummer for Vancouver band You Say Party! We Say Die! collapsed on stage and later died of a brain hemmorage a Vancouver hospital. A sad day for everyone on the Canadian music scene. The drummer is the backbone of any group and he kept YSP!WSD! going.

It's a damn shame.
