Border City Rocks!

After flipping through CD after CD in my collection I realized that I am currently lacking quality CD in the Canadian music genre. Complaining, as usual, to some friends of mine I was informed of the Border City Rocks! conference that is making its way to Windsor this weekend. I'll be heading downtown this weekend to pick up some new Cd's for my collection and to party all night long to these great Canadian bands!

This weekend the University of Windsor Student Alliance is hosting a conference that will also include nightly entertainment open to everyone and anyone. If you dig the local music scene or perhaps weren't even aware that there was one this is a good opportunity to expose yourself to all things musical in Windsor. Tonight The Roxy in downtown Windsor (the old Club O for those of us who haven't been to the Roxy yet), will play host to a variety of bands including: Hello Beautiful, I.AN.EYE, Zaki Ibrahim, The Mission District, and The Saint Alvia Cartel (all of whose myspace pages you can check out by clicking on their names).
Some of these bands are well renowned Canadian bands such as The Saint Alvia Cartel who have been added to the playlists of Canadian celebs like George Stroumboulopoulos.
Doors open at 8pm.

Saturday night the music relocates to The Chubby Pickle (also in downtown Windsor) to release 10 more bands music into our local air. Well known for hosting the CD releases of a variety of bands this local bar is teaming of with the Border City Rocks conference to bring the following bands to our local area for one great night of music:

–Cort Delano
-– The Fugitives
--Kobo Town
–Letters to Elora
– Casey Baker & The Buffalo Sinners
– Inoke Errati
– The Guys

The musical stylings for both these nights range from punk alternative to folk reggae. This weekend is sure to be a blast! I know I'll be there shakin' my groove thang to some of the best music Canada has to offer.

These shows are all ages. Tickets are $10 each night and are available for purchase at the UWSA office (located upstairs in the CAW building of the University of Windsor) and on the UWSA website
