ALEXISONFIRE: A SPECTATORS POV

The only thing to say about Alexisonfire is WOW! Their energy was chaotic, their dancing was passionate and their music, MIND BLOWING. For a person who does not listen to them I wanted their shirts, buy their cd's, and rock-out to their talent. One of the best shows I have ever seen! What a powerful group. Wade with his kick jumps from the drum set to the stage. Dallas with his angel like, make you want to sing-a-long voice and George who entertained the crowd not only with his screams, but his interaction made the whole building roar. The bassist had devil like eyes which made the crowd become one with him as he commanded the stage. This band is DOPE! The mosh pit had multiple fans on the hands of other people swaying from one end of the bar to the next. The energy and vibe in The Wall was CRAZY! What a Sunday night!!

ALEXISONFIRE!!

Fresh off a sick concert from 'The Dan Band', The Wall is hitting you up with another crazy band!! Alexisonfire will be showcasing their album 'Old Crows/Young Cardinals'. They have ripped The Wall stage before, and will do it again. Trust me, I have seen them here, and they are absolutely amazing, and have all ticket holders leaving the show wanting more! If you don't have a ticket get one of the few left ASAP!!

I leave you with 'Young Cardinals' their debut track off of 'Old Crows/Young Cardinals'

Another frosh week gone...

Thousands of party-goers flocked to The Wall, we set bar records, and we had the time of our lives. Someone jumped for joy as they won a thousand bucks, and some jumped for joy when they saw that glowing red sign leading them to the new, infamous rye bar. Silverstein, Metric, and Pauly Shore have all came and went, but the fun will not stop there!! The Dan Band, Alexisonfire, and DJ to the stars Steve Aoki, will continue to impress everyone. Parties like Alexander Keiths B-Day, Anything goes but clothes, the Traffic Jam II have all been sold out events and will be even crazier this time around. So finish your homework early, book some shifts off, and come out to The Wall. Let's thank staff, friends, and the people who have worked so hard at ensuring that we had a wicked-ass time!!

Pictures from these events, will be posted shortly.

Here's two songs from 'The Dan Band'!!

FIRST METRIC...NOW PAULY SHORE!!!!


Everyone who attended the Metric show was happier than ever. Some froshers explained that "Coming from a smaller town would make it so difficult for me to see the acts I love, but The Wall has made it happen"! I have heard AMAZING reviews about last nights performance by Metric! Everyone loved it, and I heard Emily and Co did a fantastic job. Next up: The Dan Band and Alexisonfire. NONE OF WHICH WILL DISAPPOINT!

I leave you today with Mr. Pauly Shore who is hosting WTF 90's Night. This is my favorite movie from him. BIODOME!!!

THE WALL IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!



The Wall has been open 4 nights now and it has been home to a full house for ALL OF THEM!! People love the new layout, and renovations. Emotions ran high for some as it was their first time in months seeing their roomates, and meeting with old friends. DJ KY, DJ D.A.F, both killed their sets and left people wanting more, and dancing all night! I don't have much more to say...Check out the videos below!!



RESIDENCE FROSH BEGINS!! GET READY FROSHERS!!



Frosh is one of the craziest, busiest times in North Bay. Both Canadore, and Nipissing have frosh week coming up, and its a great way to meet new people, and get comfortable with your new home. I attended some of the Residence Frosh Week activities, and I must say spirit was high and energy levels soared. On Monday a free bbq held on Lower Rez, with entertainment provided by Exodus, a Bob Marley cover band, helped students mingle, make new friends, and most importantly have a lot of fun!!

AND THE WALL OPENS!!! (User Submitted)

"The very first WTF Friday night at the brand new
remodelled walltook off with a huge BANG! Lining
up outside for the first time inmonths, wall regulars
and new wall patrons alike had no idea what they were
in for. Excitement mounted as IDs were checked and
taxis
emptied.Once down those flights of stairs it
became evident
that this was going to be one amazing
night to be remembered
(or not remembered in most cases)
The very first thing seen
as partiers entered through
those double doors was an incredibly
massive screen
with the words "2.25 RYE BAR"blown up in a bold
red
font staring them in the face and commanding them to drink

deep and drink cheap! Arriving at the rye bar was like
reaching
the Promised Land. Extremely affordable drinks
and minimal line-ups
at all three bars (including the
brand new shiny mega-bar) made for
a lot more dancing
and socialising. And boy was there a lot of dancing.

The massive stage can be seen from any corner of the
room and on its own
looks like it could very well be
the new favourite dancing spot. The music
provided by
DJ KYwas perhaps the best mix in all of North Bay.
Ky played
some old school hip hop, top 40, some TLC
No Scrubs(a huge favourite of mine),
and Buddha provided
the hipster anthems a la Passion Pit and The Black Kids!
By the end of the night as we stumbled drunk out of the
wall all that
kept running through my head was
“The Wall is back!!”"
