A good friend of mine from university will be performing as part of the 2003 Varia Compilation CD release tour at the Ögenix and on vocals with The Scroll. Other bands include Pulse Plant, Scrape, and headlining guests Sylvania. Tickets are $10 at the door, which gives you a copy of the Varia compilation CD.

I have to admit that it’s been a while since anything remotely techno-industrial was “my thing”. Hell, it’s been almost ten years since I willfully listened to anything kids today call “dark”. The music will probably be too loud, which means that I’ll have to turn down my hearing aid. Damned kids! Make no mistake that if Olivia is involved then it will be good. Oh, and there’s a good old-fashioned hotel suite after-party after the show. Look for the most straight-laced guy you can find and that will be me.

Update: I wrote a review of the Toronto launch party for the Varia compilation CD.
