Referring to Hollerado as an average band would be a wildly inaccurate statement.
Audio Blood, an artist and brand development company, held their 4th anniversary party at Sneaky Dee's, and aside from being packed with great people (and perhaps just a wee bit out of control), it also featured sets by Amos The Transparent (a personal favourite), Hands and Teeth, and Rajiv Thavanathan's latest project Secret Connection.
On the day of the release of his new book, 1982, Jian Ghomeshi invited hundreds and hundreds of his closest friends and colleagues to help him celebrate.
Audio Blood Media held one killer party on the Thursday afternoon of NXNE, with sponsorship by Steam Whistle and live music provided by Hue, Mama Rosin, Sandman Viper Command, and The Balconies, among others.

It turned out amazing, with the sun, a breeze, excellent music, and delicious cold beverages.
Something New, an investigative rock journalism show on AUX TV, is now starting its second season and to celebrate, hosts Korey Schaefer and Jordan Bortolotti held a launch party at the relatively new venue/lounge/bar/cabaret Cherry Cola's.
