Sunday
Winnipeg: The Music Machine
why
Since the start of this blog, the idea was to promote Winnipeg's music scene.Time and time again, I'm reminded of the talent that exists here in the city.
Since I put my plan into action...so far so good...but in the last few weeks, it has grown to become something much more than what I had originally planned, and it's all for the better.
Running along a platform similar to the e-zines of the world, Indie-Interactive is going to become Winnipeg's ONLY online magazine for the independent music scene.
Indie-Interactive is here, and is only going to get bigger.
In the next 2 weeks, I will be adding nearly 30 performance videos of the various bands that I've met, and will also include video interviews, more featured bios, and resources for the independent musician.
I can't begin to thank everyone out there who is supporting me doing this. What I can say, is that I'm lucky to have met, and work with these serious artists, who, by the way, are everyday people like you and me - except for one difference - they choose to use music they create as their platform for what it is that they want to say. And they deserve our respect. And they got mine!!
On that note, I'm in the works of planning what I'm going to call Vinnie-Fest. It's a 3 day event featuring MY favorite bands that come out of Winnipeg. Greedy as it may seem, I've found that the bands that I'm going to have perform, are all considered to be some of Winnipeg's finest as it is, but they are also good people who have done nothing but support what I'm doing, and return, I would like to return the favour.
From Folk to Punk, Vinnie-Fest will host more than 30 bands and solo artists, and aside from production costs, every penny will go to a charity of my choosing. It will also be on DVD as well, so maybe Ill pick a couple of charities.
....and maybe a case of Standard for my hard work. haha
Now...let's get back to what this site really stands for....
This weekend I got my ass kicked by a bunch of great bands, but I have to say that Saturday was a real treat! Metal Wenches at The Zoo...and they kicked some serious ass!!! I showed up late, so unfortunately I missed Bump, who I heard started the evening with a serious punch to the gut, and it didn't stop there. Domenica, Mad Young Darlings, and Dia Dolor were absolutley fantastic, and I hope I get the chance to see them all again soon. But since I missed Bump, and from what I heard of them, they are a top priority on my list of 'Must Sees'. I had a great night, and from the massive crowd that turned out, everyone else did as well. Great night for all!!
I would also like to welcome THE STREETS OF RAGE, INWOLVEN and IGOR AND THE SKINDIGGERS to the IndieInteractive family. You can find them in the Hardcore, Heavy Metal and Punk sections of my featured bands. They're all no doubt going to be blowing your mind in the coming months.
I also started up a HIP HOP/RAP catagory, and would like to welcome GRUBBS, who has started that catagory off, and I'm sure we'll be hearing more of him as well!
It was quite an eventful week, and I made alot of new friends, and that's just the way I like it.
I got so much work ahead of me, and I'm looking forward to every second of it. For those who would like to lend a helping hand, you can email me at digitaliris@mts.net, or you can message me here....
Till then folks...
Cheers! And keep The Music Flowin'!!!

Monday
Winter Blues? This News is Red Hot!!!!
Well, it's been another week or so of madness! In the last 10 days, I have seen so many bands at so many different venues, my ears are still ringin'!! And that's a good thing!!
I had said in my last posting that I was going to be adding more bands, and some videos of some live performances from a few of the different venues around the city.
Well, I've shot the vids, (there's 9 bands in total so far) and am spending the next week editing the shows down to individual songs for the bands as I had promised them.
But first, I'd like to take the time to welcome Coda, Dia Dolor , The Nods, 500 Hundred Pound Furnace, and The Mouth-Boat to my site. I've posted a tune from Coda and 500Pound Furnace, but Dia and The Mouth Boat are currently recording and will have something fresh for you to hear very soon!! Don't you just love the creative process?!!!
If you want to check out the tunes they do have, you can link to their prospective Myspace's from their feature pages.
I've also added what I'm calling Rock N Roll Polls to my site. They will change each week, and I'm totally open to suggestions for other polls. Let me know what you want to hear about, and I'll put it up lickety-split!!
Anyway, I've got to get these vids edited, but stay tuned for more bands, more tunes, and some upcoming gig vids of what I'll just simply refer to as 'wickedly awesome talent'!!
If you haven't already, take a look around, and check out the bands there on the right and see just what it is that I'm talkin about!!
If anyone would like to help out, or write an article, throw a suggestion or two, or just want to say hi, you can reach me here.....
Later folks, and keep the music flowin'!!
