The drummer for The Salads was also one of the organizers, so like he said in our interview (Organizers interview), he just assumed they’d play. The Salads recently worked with Choclair and they felt it would be great to feature him. They also decided to tailor a song for the specifically for the fundraiser, so I just had to record that song and keep it in its entirety for you to listen to.

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.

It is unfortunate that we are unable to bring you a sample of their performance that evening to go along with the interview, as we did with many other artists. They really rocked the house, so check out their new CD, or see them live as they tour the East Coast of the United [...]

As I said to Kenny during our interview with Moneen (link below), when my 17 year old son wants to raise the tempo and get his blood moving while working out at the gym his number one choice is Moneen songs. Brampton’s Moneen has 4 albums, 4 EPs and a DVD, so isn’t it [...]

Die Mannequin had been working in LA when they got the call that the organizers needed them to help out the cause in Toronto for Haiti. Of course they were winging their way back here to show their support and to give their fans what they want the most. We weren’t able to get an interview with Care Failure, but we did stick our noses into another interview so that you can see her up close.

Maestro Fresh Wes was doing some film work in LA and preparing to release his first book, to be published by McClelland & Stewart Ltd. Gaining fame with hip hop and rap as early as the late 1980’s, he continues to impress including his work with Kardinal Offishall, and even on stage in Cannes, [...]

Alex, the lead singer for the Ska band illScarlett, is interviewed by the Local Vibe, prior to his band performing for this Unicef charity event in early February 2010. If you’ve enjoyed Reggae music, but like to kick it up a notch, then this music, which actually preceded Reggae, is infectious. A live [...]

The Local Vibe staff were elated to interview the videographer’s favourite live rock band, and we’ve included some exerpts from their performance. Did you hear John-Angus and Jack Syperek say that they were begining work on a new electric album…? Yes!

James Cybulski of TSN, Darrin Pfeiffer of 102.1 The Edge plus drummer for The Salads, and Zeke Meyer who owns the Sound Academy got together to raise funds for the earthquake victims of Haiti. They asked some well known artists, athletes and celebrities to gather down on Polson Pier on February 2nd, 2010, and [...]

Well we have had a great start here at Local Vibe and over the course of the last year we have seen quite a few changes and met many friends along the way. What the future holds for us is unknown at this point, but you can be sure that it is only going to [...]

I believe that this summer has been the best, thanks to LocalVibe. Instead of sitting around doing absolutely nothing, dying in the heat , I had LocalVibe to keep me busy. The best part is I love what I do. This summer I started off with going to small events like The Cave for some [...]
