The Snowbirds will be buzzing in Medicine Hat tomorrow, July 23rd. They were supposed to fly through the area during the Stampede Parade but had scheduling conflicts. Look to the skies above the Stampede grounds at about 5PM.

Tomorrow is the last day you will get to check out The Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede’s 11th Annual Christmas Market located in the Cypress Centre Pavilion and Auditorium. The market itself features things such as baking, jewelery, artwork, crafts, candies, clothing and much more. It’s focus is homemade and handcrafted items. You can kind of thing of it as a “Farmer’s Market” which is also hosted in the same place actually, except this is more geared towards the theme of Christmas and the holidays in general.

Two Canadian bands will be rockin’ the Cypress Center on November 10 here in the hat. Both of these bands I haven’t listened to in quite some time. I have fond memories of feeling “hardcore” listening to probably Finger Eleven’s hardest song called “Drag You Down” whilst still in high-school.

The first time I heard of The Dudes was actually when I was downloading some music by The Strokes and they just happened to have a couple songs hidden in the archive file… for some reason. Anyways, I realized why they were in there, because they kind of sound similar in ways, in that indie-rock-sounding-kind-of-way that was popular years ago – however I still say they are more similar to bands like Modest Mouse, which is not a bad thing at all.
