Hafilax Does HPX: Day Three Preview featuring: Against Me!, BADBADNOTGOOD, Swearin’ & more…

Am I seeing this right… Halifax Pop Explosion is happening in two days. And you are probably at home right now, doing laundry, waiting for the evening to end cause you gotta work tomorrow, or go to school, or get on with your life. Or maybe you are at home throwing a party, or maybe you’re at a party, or you are at home eating pop tarts, and playing video games, cause that’s what you do.

Well… the next couple days, make all that sleep count, cause you are going to need it. 2 more days, this city is gonna get a whole lot louder, just letting you know…

EASTLINK PRESENTS: GHOSTFACE KILLAH, RAEKWON, BADBADNOTGOOD AND CAM SMITH
Thursday, October 23 – 7:00pm Multi-Purpose Centre

Here’s the latest track from BADBADNOTGOOD & Ghostface Killah, supporting their upcoming Sour Soul album coming up next year. They’re both playing at Halifax Pop Explosion, coincidence… I think not. BADBADNOTGOOD is returning cause they were pretty awesome last year, winning the crowd with their shiny instrumental hip hop. With an all-star line-up of artists like this on Day Three, you know something special is brewing…

Shiny music, yes, click here.

LIVE105 PRESENTS: AGAINST ME!, LIKE A MOTORCYCLE, WEEKEND DADS AND DYSCONTROL
Thursday, October 23 – 8:00pm Olympic Community Hall

Whoa, this new music video by Like A Motorcycle is totally making me dizzy. Halifax’s punk rock trio, now quatro, is hitting up the Olympic Community Hall again this year. It’ll probably give you deja vu, but probably not cause there are four of them now, and they rock harder than ever. Here’s some tuneage, click the word that says “here”… right over here.

Note the Halifax Pop Explosion FAIL right over here by clicking here. (Psst… there are 4 members in the band).

F**k Against Me! for f**king swearin’ so f**king much. “I want to piss on the walls of your house” – These my friend, are the most creative lyrics I’ve heard in the longest time. But really, this is a f**kin’ show you don’t want to miss. These guys are coming all the way from f**kin’ Florida, and they f**kin’ rock!

Alright, I’m done now. To hear their music click over here. FML.

NOYES RECORDS PRESENTS: SWEARIN’, KESTRELS, HAG FACE AND VENEERS
Thursday, October 23 – 10:00pm Gus’ Pub

This is Hag Face. Watch their music video before reading the rest of this paragraph. Ok… now that I’ve thrown you off with naked people, you can enjoy the rest of their music over here. Just to let you know, I like their sludgy sound. And somebody’s gotta shave down there.

F**k! Music from Brooklyn never sounded so good since Swearin’ showed up. I’m digging their latest album, Surfing Strange that was released just last year. I think I’m gonna go see them at Halifax Pop Explosion. I think you should check out their music, right here. See you at the show.

Anyhoo, I’m done for the night, the laundry machine’s doing that musical chime thing again. Be sure to check out the Halifax Pop Explosion website for more music happenings. Here’s the link… http://halifaxpopexplosion.com/. Enjoy!
