Credible Witness and the trip to Toronto for the Much Music "Disband" taping
"Disband" is a show where Greig Nori and his crew work with bands to prepare them for judges who decide whether a band should continue and go on to "Stardom" or if they should "Disband" http://www.muchmusic.com/tv/disband/ and is presented by Much Music. They choose 3 of 5 judges to make their decision; Ralph James - President of The Agency Group, Jennifer Hirst - A& R for EMI Music Canada, Colin Lewis - A senior agent at a global talent firm called The Agency Group, JDiggz - Guest judge and Matt Wells - Much VJ
We started the day at 5am on a Sunday morning and got on the bus at 6:00am. The Boy, his friend Nic and I were off with all the other Credible Witness www.myspace.com/crediblewitness supporters to cheer on one of Windsor's favorite bands in a taping at the Much Music studios in Toronto for the show "Disband" . The bus driver was great as he knew where all the "Tim Hortons" coffee shops were along the way and made stops for bathroom breaks (for those of you that don't know "Tim Hortons" is Canada's favorite coffee shop ;) We had a little sputter trouble coming into Toronto but we made it to the studio.
Once at the studio we were treated amazingly, as you can imagine what fourty five 25 and under kids can be like after a 5 hour bus trip. All the staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. I have always been a behind the scenes person, encouraging, helping and always learning so it was no surprise that I took the spot behind the camera's and watched what happened behind the scenes. The beautiful Sarah Taylor was the vj host and introduced the band as they sang their magic. We were then asked to leave as the judges made their decision and then were welcomed back in the studio for the outcome. As the judges made their decision everyone listened patiently. Credible Witness played one more song and off we went to enjoy the rest of the day in Toronto. (You really didn't think I would tell you the outcome, did you? You have to watch the show and sit on the edge of your seats like the rest of us ;)
We spent the rest of the day shopping (yeap dropped a couple hundred bucks) and ended the shopping spree with a trip to "Hooters" (which of course was the 15 year old boys choice ;) The servers were awesome and even signed the boys calendar which made them feel extra special. There "hot wings" are something that everyone should try, I know I will be returning on a Monday to enjoy the all you can eat wings :)
5:00 came and back on the bus we all went. There was lot's of singing (as a few found the bar, lol) and new found friends were made. As we sputtered out of Toronto we wondered why the driver had not got the bus checked while he was waiting for us. Now as the bus sputtered, the girls needed the bathroom, the guys were (well you know) and the bus driver refused to stop. Then it happened! The bus died, right on the 401 highway :( Now we have 55 people on this bus and the girls and guys were jumping off to go to the bathroom while we waited for the tow truck. Two tow trucks came, the OPP and we waited on the bus (with no heat) for a replacement bus from a nearby town. By the time the bus finally came it was after 10 and boy did the singing turn to misery. The bus driver stopped at the first Tim Horton's to let everyone off for a bathroom break (whew we needed that) and then we were off to the bus depot for another driver. We ended up back in the city about 1:15am and although I was suppose to work at midnight, I called in for an emergency day.
When we got home, the Boy said "I am so glad we are home". My word of advice for him was "get used to it, that's life on the road, just wait and see ;)
Cheers and Always Inspire ;)

Corporate Saturday CD Release Party with special guests Credible Witness and Inoke Errati
Wow, what an event it was. 400 people crammed into the CAW Student Centre at the University of Windsor in "The Basement" Pub for the Corporate Saturday CD release party. At this time I would like to thank security, the bartenders and staff at "The Basement" for making this an exciting event for all ages. Also, Meghan for bringing this all together and the awesome job she does in bringing the entertainment to "The Basement". We can't forget the people that worked so hard for the bands at the door and the merchandise tables, they kept all the fans happy.
My favorite part of the thank you's is the road crew, sound engineers and others that help these bands sound and look good. If not for you all, there would be no show. So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Now for the show ...
First off was Inoke Errati (I Know Karate). The Inoke Errati website http://www.inokeerrati.com/ is the place you can purchase their cd "The Wink and The Gun", watch some videos, read the bio, look at photos, keep up with the Inoke Errati blog and so much more. Inoke Errati consists of Jake, Chris and Bobby who keep you on your toes at all times. The stage show and energy they have is one of the reasons, I am sure, why they have recently signed with Trust Records - http://www.myspace.com/trustrecordsjapan . Inoke Errati is in the top 8 for the CME Battle and will be playing at St. Clair College on April 3, they need your support to make it to the nationals :) Inoke Errati will also be playing at "The Scene at the Room" on May 29 with a few gigs in between. You have to check out the high energy and stage show of Inoke Errati, but in the mean time take a listen to some of their music on the Inoke Errati myspace at http://www.myspace.com/inokeerrati and ladies don't forget the underwear as someone in the band enjoy's it :)
Next was Credible Witness. Credible Witness consists of Walter Senko - Vocals/Piano, Michael Didomenico - Guitar/Back up Vocals, Bobby Jacques - Guitar/BGV's, Jonathan Loiselle - Bass/BGV's, Ryan Brough - Drums and Matt Babechuk - Synthesizer. Credible Witness is currently working on writing and producing songs for their new cd "It's Okay to be Serious". Credible Witness EP "Back to the Window" can be purchased off their myspace. Credible Witness shows the energy of an awesome alternative band. This band definately needs a big stage, to bring out their best stage presence. They rocked and rolled with everyone cheering for more. Although the singer did mention that he had a cold (and drank gallons on water to sing) they played an awesome performance. Like all musicians, the show must go on and that it did. To listen to more of Credible Witness and book them for upcoming events, check out their myspace at http://www.myspace.com/crediblewitness
Finally up was the February 25/08 - Artist of the Day - Corporate Saturday :) Corporate Saturday's website http://corporatesaturday.com/ has a bio, shows, news, media and merchadise although this page is currently being upgraded (so check out for the new site soon). Corporate Saturday consists of Austen Renaud - Vocals, Brendan Friel - Guitar, Chris Caputo - Bass/Keyboard and Rob Raco - Drums. The energy of Corporate Saturday was at it's best as they sang songs from their EP "A Moment of Peace" and of course their new cd "Looking at the Same Stars". They played a couple of amazing acoustic songs in the middle of their set that proves that this band has it all. They rocked, they rolled and they mellowed with the mesmerized crowd. Bravo to Corporate Saturday for their amazing cd release and the party. Corporate Saturday also took the time after the set to sign cd's take pictures (yeap I forgot to bring extra batteries) which pleased all the fans young and old. To find out more about Corporate Saturday, watch some videos, listen to their tunes and book them for an event, check out the Corporate Saturday myspace at http://www.myspace.com/corporatesaturday Now when it comes to underwear and Corporate Saturday's, Austen made it very clear (as fans threw up their wares, lol) that the bashful Chris was the one you should through them at :)
This was a fun event for me as I brought 5 teenagers (yeap I value their opinion) to find out their thoughts. They are our future generation of music buyers so it is all important to me what they consider good music. They all had fun and even met some of their school buddies. When it came to favorite they had all picked Corporate Saturday as their favorite, but said all the bands were great and would love to see them all again (so watch out for the all age events, I will be the one with all the teenagers, lol).
