the action index presents...

Before I get into the main topic of this post. I will say i hosted 2 more shows over the weekend (saturday 3:30pm-4:30pm and Sunday 4-5pm) Sunday turned into a Hardcore show just out of who came to the station with me, it was really packed and was a fun hang out with Tyler (of Pterodactyl Sneak Attack Fridays 4-5pm), Jordan Foote (Vocalist for a potential new hardcore band in victoria), Camilla Keen (writer for The Shaved Orange blog), Miles Chic (Victoria musician who has been in projects ranging from The Dirt On, Young Lions to currently the Bassist for Kincaide).
It was good times in studio on sunday filling in for Ryan of Carload of Whatever.

No tracklisting to post.

The purpose of this post however is inform people of some confirmed shows i have upcoming this summer. A lot of bands got back to me over the weekend so here we go!

SO EXCITED to announce this show. Milwaukee's Cougar Den are a band i have been jamming for the past 6 months, they have a new record coming out on Init Records before tour. I discovered them on the Skram blog (now defunct) roawr.blogspot.com
This is the very same blog that i discovered Logs on and well i was able to get them to town!

Cougar Den and Mans play a style of hardcore that isn't often seen in victoria now adays and i hope that we can get more bands of this style up in the future!
This is their ONLY Canadian date, and they canceled a show in Oregon so they can do Victoria.
