Local Vibe

Tremendous appeal with young people is why U. S. S., also known as Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker, would be invited to an event like this. One member stands virtually still and plays the acoustic guitar and does the vocals, while the other member uses turntables, laptops, synthesizers, and figuratively the kitchen sink while racing around the whole stage and climbing on everything, plus he contributes some vocals. These two did not disappoint with their performance.

A subdued clientele are either patiently waiting or have no idea what they’re in for. Outside the moon is full and it’s soon time to howl. Beer is flowing and food consumed. The band is Bad Pickle and they prepare for sound check.

Amidst the sounds of tuning the lights are dimmed and Dan Spence – guitar, Patrick Fox – drums and Uncle Jack Smith – bass, greets the crowd with their rendition of “Black Magic Woman”. Feet begin to stomp and heads bob. At the end of the song Rob Puschelberg – vox, takes his place up front and commands our attention with his voice.

This weekend the long awaited return of the 2nd Annual Preston Music Festival. Featuring local talent, this FREE all day long event has something for everyone. Central Park in Preston is where all the excitement is happening so make sure it is on your agenda to attend.

The lineup looks great with lots of local talent sharing their music with the hometown crowds. The whole show kicks off with winners from a children’s karaoke contest, hosted by Gemstone Entertainment. They have held a contest over several weeks to determine who gets the honour of appearing on stage at the beginning of this festival. The competition was friendly but fierce, and you will be amazed when the winners take to the stage to show you what they have.

The Hive in downtown Kitchener and I.R.I.S. Entertainment are hosting The Indie Feast on Saturday, September 12th. All of the bands that have been the weekly winners of the Battle of The Bands taking place at The Joint are scheduled to perform on a flatbed trailer in the parking lot of The Hive.

The Hive has extended their patio license for the event to make sure that everyone can fit in to catch these awesome bands. The entire parking lot is going to be utilized for this event which is going to ensure this is party to remember. The bands planned to take the stage are as follows.
