Popsicle Sticks

Turns out I have an article coming out in the June issue of Vice Magazine. You can get some details on what the publication is about here: www.viceland.com. Lana is now the West Coast rep for addVice Canada. If you want to set up a party in Vancouver, she's the girl to go to.

Some Toronto bands to check out:

The Two Koreas
Hank
No Dynamics
Republic of Safety
Uncut
Final Fantasy

I'll post some websites soon, for all of them.

The CD I was working on is tweaked and ready to go. Full tracklisting:
