Welcome! Here you'll find information about local musicians and DJ's. Let's start off with:

VIGORAMITY - A musical project formed by local Industrial Musician, Adam Johnstone (who also hosts the CKUW radio program, Wild Mood Swings), it afterwards included Meghan Bergeron as vocalist. Together they are making some excellent music among which is their extremely cool cover of Yaz's "Too Pieces" (this tune sooooooo rocks!!!).
I've had the honour and privelege of his performing at one of my events years ago, and he did a great show despite the technical problems we were having with the system (sorry about that, Dude).

The Official Site is here: mandais.tripod.com
You can hear some of their music here: www.audiostreet.net/vigoramity

Razed In A New Division Of Agony - A musical project by our friend Logan E. who also hosts "Everything's Gone Grey".
Specifically, it's Logan Edwards, and occasional guest vocals from Tracey DiLascio from the United States. Starting at around 2004 when he tried out for the first Community New Order tribute for neworderonline.com, he's working on putting out his own tribute to New Order as his first release because "they are the band that got me into music in the first place with the song True Faith".

It will be called Touched By The Hand Of Goth (Not to be confused with Sub Terraneans Goth Compilation Series) and will feature a mix of electronic and industrial takes on classic New Order tunes.

Some additional info about Everything's Gone Grey (Logans podcast): He takes requests. People can request by sending a message to the Myspace account or at this email: doutseventhere@hotmail.com. The show has run for thirty episodes as of this Sunday. If there are any of your original material you'd want him to play, feel free to e-mail an mp3 or four. ;)

Now then, to hear and see what Razed is all about, do visit the bands site at: Myspace: www.myspace.com/razedinanewdivisionofagony. What's even cooler is that the band will be collaborating with Carly of Nocturnal Divinity on a cover of the Lacuna Coil song To The Edge. Razed is also working on covers of Remember Me by The Birthday Massacre and Dreamline by Rush. They're first album will probably no longer be exclusively New Order songs, but will feature several New Order covers, as well as everything from Joy Division to Republica.

DISTORTED MEMORY - an Industrial/EBM creation of my friend Jeremy who has in the past substituted for me in the DJ booth. Pretty cool stuff. If you're into Hocico and God Module & Dawn of Ashes (whom I personally have suspicions that they are all the same guy), you'll like this. To hear what I mean, visit the band's MySpace page. Excellent work, Jeremy!

NEPHTHYS - A Goth Band in the truest sense of the word, this musical entity was created in late January 2006 by a couple of gentlemen by the names of Gabriel(Guitars & Vocals) and SpYke (Keyboards). It's one and only goal is to actively revive the Gothic Rock scene in Winnipeg, and it should be mentioned that they do contract other instrument players for their music in case anyone might be interested in getting involved with this band. To get to know them even more and listen to them, please visit the band's MySpace page. For one who has been around the past 5000 years, you have to agree SpYke is holding up rather well.

CHOCOLATE BUNNIES FROM HELL - A Classic Alternative Rock band that's been around since the 80's (when the word Alternative had meaning) they are still Alive and ROCKING!!! Lead by His Majesty P.J. Burton, the music blends punk, The Cramps, and Ramones. I would personally call them Winnipegs First Goth Band, although I'm not sure whether Nasty Teeth might have been around before them. Anyway, to read more about them and listen to a couple of their classic tunes, please visit band's TuneVault page.

Dorian's Gray- Formed in 2006, this amazing band is comprised of founding members Nevion and her band mate, Bryce. I loved their stuff from the moment I heard it. I'll let them tell it in their own words: "Dorian's Gray exists to reveal beauty, truth, and art. Their lyrics are often sexually liberating, at other times satirical, and often designed to expose religious hypocrisy. While their music is not designed for any grand socio-political purpose, the artists are not afraid to speak out for what they believe in. With passionate lyrics, gut-wrenching vocals, pulsing synths, devastating bass-lines, and blood-spattering beats, the beauty that is Dorian's Gray is music for the elect, to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. The result is a sound that is entirely their own, somewhere in the gray area between industrial rock, electro, EBM (Electronic Body Music), and trip hop." To learn more about Dorian's Gray, visit their MySpace page.

Artificial Harmony- Formed by SpYke (formerly of Nephthys), Artificial Harmony is among the best Electro Industrial Artists I've heard in this city. Leaning more towards Industrial than Goth, SpYke left Nephthys to pursue this style and created some extremely cool melodic music in the process. To hear what he sounds like, please visit Artifician Harmony Soundclick page. Totally for for fans of: Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Wumpscut, Kraftwerk, KMFDM, and Razed In Black. Check out his cover of Blue Monday while you're there!

SYNKRO- a.k.a Sean Murray is a South African artist now living in Canada. An extremely cool fellow, he produces a variety of electronic musical styles but keeps the focus on the harder and darker sides of electronica. He's currently signed to Sublight Records which released his debut album last year. The music is very hard hitting, distorted rhythmic noise, and we're bloody fortunate to have him in our town.

Nocturnal Divinity- What I would consider Amazing Goth Metal! Fronted by the lovely Carly Iskierski (Vocals), the band consisting of also Matthew Toews (Guitar), Brian Layer (Bass/ Vocals), Mike Milner (Keyboard/Vocals) and Frank Molnar (Drums). I think of them as Winnipeg's answer to either Nightwish or Lacuna Coil, and they deserve recognition for the work they do. For more information, visit the Nocturnal Divinity MySpace page.

Alexis Machine - Described as a 'VAMPIRIC GOTHIC/METAL/INDUSTRIAL BAND', these guys are cool. Influeneced by bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Powerman5000, ROb Zombie, Motley Crue, Ratt, Depression, and Ozzy, their music brings to my mind bands like The 69 Eyes, and just Look at this!!!! Influenced by Ratt!! How cool is that?!!!! To listen for yourself, check out their Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/alexismachine , and if you'd like a copy of their excellent CD, go to: http://kunaki.com/sales.asp?PID=PX00Y7TTL9

Cakebuilder - A side project of Distorted Memory. Very infectious blend of industrial, breakcore & rave. Do check out their Myspace site at http://www.myspace.com/cakebuilder for tour dates, songs, videos, pictures, blogs, band information, downloads and more.

Kazzoshay - A side project of Vigoramity's Adam JOhnstone, it is (in Kazzoshays own words) 'Winnipeg's own, prog-shock band! Hard hitting metal-rock surfaced by synths. Think the Cult meets Alice Cooper, meets KMFDM!? Well all you have to do is listen, and you'll find out!' Alongside the Facebook presence, you'll find a website at http://www.myspace.com/kazzoshay
