The Worst Live Show I've Ever Been To: Rock The Bells, Toronto, 2006

Every now and then I’ll stumble across a Reddit thread along the lines of “What was the worst concert you’ve ever been to?” which will spark a memory of the travesty of a show that was the Rock The Bells Tour’s stop in Toronto in 2006. It was such a shit show it’s not even listed on Wikipedia. If anyone that went to this show ever stumbles across this, 100% give me a shout. I’m absolutely fascinated by this concert as an adult 15 some odd years later.

For the unaware, Rock The Bells was a hip-hop festival/tour/show series started in the mid-2000s, featuring many of a hip-hop fan’s favourite artists. Here are some of the artists on the lineup of the first RTB show: Wu-Tang Clan, Redman, Dilated Peoples, Sage Francis, Supernatural, DJ Nu-Mark of Jurassic

Archive: Mini-Indie Interview: The Cosmic Eye

After graduating from college, I worked as a summer intern for a recording studio in Toronto called Euphonic Sound. They bundled in audio recording services along with some marketing, design and PR services for their artists. My main task was writing blog posts and conducting interviews for their podcast series.

The studio and website are long gone, but I’ve managed to recover some of my old content via the Wayback Machine. A lot of them had audio of the interviews, but they were mostly hosted on the website and can't be recovered.

I’ve done some light formatting and editing because frankly the typos are embarrassing, but have tried to otherwise keep these as close to the original versions as possible.

We were all "Companero [Name]" for some reason.
