Radio - Sunday, March 27th, 2016

We started off with Negative Approach and “Why Be Something That You’re Not” the song that became the title for the cable access show in Lansing Michigan and more recently the title of a book by Tony Rettman on Detroit Hardcore. I spoke with Tony back in October when he was in for the in-store talk with Damian Abraham at Faith/Void and convinced him to come over to CIUT and do an interview for this show. He has been very patient waiting for this to get to air and tonight we air that interview. We start off by talking about this song and the name for the book.

Throughout the show there was some technical difficulties with the interview which were just technical screw ups on my behalf so to hear the interview without the screw ups download this.

If you want to hear the show with all the screw ups the MP3 file is here.

Katatonix Studio 3 session

When we did the SAGO session, Alex the singer said to me you should really have the Katatonnix in. I didn't know who the Katatonix were. Alex explained the Sofistifucks connection. Alex is the drummer in the Sofistifucks and Jakob who sings in Katatonix plays bass in the Sofistifucks. Paul plays guitar in both bands. So that is the connection. They all play in the Sofistifucks and the Sofistifucks are still together however they are taking a break while Downey is doing school. I think it might be graduate work. But this band also came together because Vince from Make No Gains wanted to be in a band with Paul and Jakob. Jakob and Vince are both from the east coast and there is something to that which helps create a chemistry in this band. Curtis is the drummer in School Damage and he wanted to play in another kind of punk band that is meaner and angrier. The seem to have accomplished that with Katatonix. In the interview the recurring theme about Katatonix songs are misanthropic in nature. We recorded the following songs in this session:

1. Race to the End
2. Pharma Lobotomy / Drowning
3. No Hope
4. Rust
5. Rip Off
6. Deep Stench
7. Discomfort / Disconnect

The band also did an ID for the show.

This session was recorded in Studio 3 by Ian Wilkinson. This is the last session recorded in the broadcast studio. Since this session an engineer has given the opinion that these live sessions have been effecting the wiring of the broadcast board and so we no longer are able to use this studio, which effects the sound.

This session was also video recorded by Aldo and Candy of Punks and Rockers.

Shequalizing-X-Distort returns for an annual International Women's Day broadcast with hosts Sarde, Zoe, Marji, and Chloe. They also had a guest host in from Halifax named Rosie who currently sings in Outcry and formerly played guitar in Vixens, who were out here for a Not Dead Yet show. The show features material so new that in one instance it was recorded yesterday. There is historical and contemporary punk being played side by side. There are mad shout outs throughout the program and hilarious banter one story of which involved a beatdown between Humpty Dumpty and Miss Vickies. Not to be missed. Photos and playlist coming soon.

Lydia talks about her time in Toronto, and SHEXD, and the radio show and Faith/Void and a whole bunch of other things. It is neat to see how others see our city and our scene. the interview we did with Lydia aired and can be found on the blog at http://equalizingxdistort.blogspot.ca/2016/02/radio-sunday-january-31st-2016.html.
