Jul/03/2009What A Party!

Thank you all for making our NXNE BBQ such a great success. It was an absolute killer party!
We had 14 brilliant artists (Diana Catherine, Yellow Wood, Valerey Gore, The Warped 45´s, Trigger Finger, Winhara, Said The Whale, Jason Plumb, Christer, Oh No Not Stereo, Pirate Love, Labasheeda, These Electric Lives, Bloodgroup) from all corners of the globe up on stage to entertain us with their unique talents.
Hopefully you received some deserved exposure and some love... ;)
Word on the street is that our friends from Iceland might be getting some extra attention in these parts....
It´s been a pleasure to have worked with you all.
Thank you Sara, Bryan, Ian, Charles, Joe, Dan, Byron, Stephen, Tim, Brett, Steve, Lorne, Lori, Jason, Mike, Adrian and our kickin´ Six Shooter friends.
Looking forward to next year´s BBQ already!
