Indie Week: Friday night at The Velvet Underground






I was given the opportunity to have media access to the annual Indie Week music festival which has grown to be a popular event for bands all across the world. Indie music has shown strong influence in Canada and will likely continue to keep progressing into an even larger event with bigger venues and more bands. I saw three bands at the Velvet Underground on Friday; The Years, Atlantis Blueprint, and The Black Napalese. All of which played great shows but Atlantis Blueprint ended up going through to the next round of eliminations. I fully plan on going back to this event next year to experience what REAL new music has to offer, thanks to all of you who planned this event.

The Madhatters at a cancer fund raiser party






What else is there to say about this band, all of them are great guys and they play really good music. They have always been a been a dominant force in the push for musical talent in the Niagara area. Most of us around here consider them good friends, every one else just calls them "The madhatters".
