Music Monday! #MM - April 18, 2011

Dave Z's Studio "The Mothership" aka Laundry Room Studios where @TheSalads are recording our new record

@Darrin99 with Mick Jones!

I started my day with The Clash today. Recently I started playing in a Clash cover band with Darrin Pfieffer @darrin99 and Mikey Hawdon who is currently on tour with DUSTIN JONES & THE RISING TIDE @djrisingtide. Thanks to this gig I've learned how great the Clash really are and how everything The Salads have written was originally invented by The Clash. Check out this pic @Darrin99 took with Mick Jones of The Clash at Coachella Festival just yesterday! Mick Jones now plays in Big Audio Dynamite.  Darrin is there working with Death From Above 1979. Follow @TheSalads for regular updates.

@dodgermusic DON"T MISS THIS!

I need to tell you how important it is that you start following our good friends from the band Dodger on Twitter. Find them at @dodgermusic. They are just about to release a new record. They have a free single available for download at ReverbNation. We posted this link on our @TheSalads stream this past week but here it is again in case you missed this awesomeness! FREE DODGER SONG "WANT"  So their new release is out on May 28th. We'll be at The Horseshoe in Toronto celebrating with them that night, and so will you! Follow @dodgermusic now! Don't miss the show. Dooooodger are amazing!

Remember M.E.A.T. magazine??!! I sure as hell do! Toronto's number 1 Hard and Heavy Music publication put out by none other than Journalist and Metal Brainiac Drew Masters. I just added him on Twitter last week and I'm psyched! He writes great articles and keeps us informed. Follow Drew and his magazine at @_M_E_A_T

Moving from guitars to beats I am now telling you to follow our friend Ryan Somers aka FRITZ THE KAT from OK COBRA! He is deadly good. Follow him at @ryan_somers but first check out this fucking great tune of his! I love the video. Filmed at The Chicken Bowl in Bayfield Ontario. Canada's best kept secret!

We have some friends that can seriously play! @TheSalads used to do a lot of gigs with a great band called ZYGOTE! Their Bass Player Amir is about as good as it gets! The guy is awesome. Super fun watching him rip it up back in the day with his curly black ringlettes shaking all about. hahaha... Recently Amir joined a band called Crash Karma. Made up of ex I Mother Earth vocalist EDWIN, Jeff from Tea Party on Drums and the original guitar player from Our Lady Peace. These guys are making huge waves on radio across Canada. Follow @CrashKarmaBass for updates from our shredder friend Amir. Shreddy Krueger himself! ;) Here is a video of Amir sucking back some wieners. What kicks the most ass in this video is that we get a good look at his super fancy hairdo from back in the day. That must of been a lot of work dude!

Have you heard of our friend Diana Salvatore yet? Holy shit! She is good. Follow her on twitter. She doesn't update that regularly but will always let you know when she's playing next and how it felt to play her music that night. Nice! Watch out for Diana. Incredible. Follow her @DianaSalvatore The video up above is a promo she did during SuperBowl but it ends with one of her tracks. Check it out. Awesome.

Finally, the last follow for this Monday is @Theslackersband The Salads are fans and think you should be too! This band rules. That is all.

Gotta get back to tracking this Bass guitar! L8R! - Chuck Dailey
