Remember those open overnight shows spots we mentioned on this here blog? Well, we’re pleased to announce that two new shows have been added to our weekly schedule! Here’s a bit more about them:
- Turn Down the Suck || bi-weekly Monday evenings, very early Tuesday mornings || 3-4 am: This new-to-us show was born on CJLO 1690AMs airwaves lived there for seven years before coming to CKUT. With a host named Johnny Suck and a tagline that reads “heavy-ass rock, bad-ass metal, and kick-ass hardcore” you can be sure to expect some serious heaviosity on the early morning airwaves. The first show is tonight and Johnny says that he’ll be spinning new cuts from the likes of Orange Goblin, Corrosion of Conformity, and Earth albums. Show archives will be available right here, will replace The 27th Hour‘s usual spot and will alternate weeks with Jet Set Diskotek. Welcome Turn Down the Suck! (Pssst…have a look-see at Johnny’s goodbye message on CJLO’s site)

Show Review: The Kills
The Kills at Citizen Vintage
By: Amanda C. Stanhaus
If you want to rock hard any day of the week, especially a Sunday, go see The Kills. They lived up to the high expectations I had set for them; multiple people responded I would have the BEST time when I told them what I was doing with my Sunday night. The Kills filled L’Olympia, a much larger venue then I was expecting, with their massive sound. You felt like you were a basement with them oh so close to you bouncing around. Granted their backdrop was leopard print with various colored lights flashing in-tune with the music. But still, basement-type feel in the crowd. Their mix of songs was just right. They gave you a breather with a slower song once in a while. But then always brought the energy right back up. The Kills were nice enough to have a very long encore, which ended with F*** the People. Quite the send off into the beginning of the week.
