Daniel Pearl World Music Days


In 2002, journalist and musician Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan. In honour of his memory, Daniel Pearl World Music Days has been created to bring together harmony, music and humanity. In October, a wide array of performances around the world will be dedicated to Daniel, drawing on the power of music to create cross-cultural understanding. You can find out more about the foundation's concerts at http://www.danielpearlmusicdays.org. Whether you're an artist or no, you can join in by submitting music, art, photos, poems, stories and reporting of World Music Days events at their site, to become part of an eStage.

Tattoo Rock Parlour!

Great set last night at the Tattoo Rock Parlour. Thanks to them what came down post- their Labour Day weekend hangovers and dreaded kickstart-the-fall with work / school / name-your-poison futures looming large on the dusky horizon! The denizens of Tattoo were mightily pleased with what they beheld. Mike Celia provided a great opening act with some fine guitar work and a cool blues-folk vibe, followed by the stomp and crunch of Fourlines. We wrapped up the bill with a solid set, breaking out some new tracks including "Wheels Come Off" and "The Real Heart". Thanks to Todd Arkell at Cool Planet Entertainment for booking us, and shout-outs to my cousin Mike for doin' lights and the ever-present Marc Koecher for his wicked shots. Check out the pics!
