January- Heating up the Stage
March 1st, 2010 by James
Although the weather was cold outside, the stage was on fire in Stages Nightclub! Local bands battled it out for the title of Bandslam Champions, and the decision wasn’t easy! The Road Krew was there for both nights of the annual Bandslam, and it blew us away…literally! The first night consisted of the top eight qualifying bands, and after much consideration, it was narrowed down to just four bands for the following night. In the end, it was Fugitive Underground that ruptured the judges table, and they walked away with showcases at the Canadian Music Festival and NXNE, a chance to record in the Tragically Hip’s Bathhouse Studio, gear from Motorsport Plus, and-who could forget?- a killer amount of rockin’ new fans!
November – Road to the Vanier Cup
March 1st, 2010 by James
November was a month of tight pants and touchdowns for the Road Krew! The Queens Gaels were hungry for the Vanier cup and the whole city felt it! We were there for every game at home with the Gaels this season, with our very own Sideshow as the MC for the Games. As the season continued, the crowds grew larger and larger, and the Gaels could taste victory. On the day of the final game in Quebec City, we were privileged to be immersed with the fans at Fanatics when the Gaels finally ended their starvation for the cup. The energy of the crowd was beyond words. It was definitely an experience we will never forget!

Mayor’s Walk
April 20th, 2009 by James
The Mayor’s walk is an annual event that happens right here in Kingston every year. Volunteer and Information Kingston are the organizers of this wonderful day. Walkers are encouraged to go around and ask for pledges to do the walk, and the best part is that participants get to choose where most of their money goes.
The Town Crier starts the day on the historic steps of city hall. All the walkers are lined up on Ontario street. Leading the way on the walk was the Royal Canadian Air Cadets Band.
While all the walkers were out, we were treated to some music from one of Kingston’s newest bands “Powertrain”. These guys rocked it! They played Clapton, Neil Young, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray, and way too many more to mention.
It was a great day down in Confederation Basin. Thanks to Volunteer & Information Kingston, The Royal Canadian Air Cadets Band, Powertrain, and everyone who came down to walk. See you all next year!
