One Shot Left @ Whiskey Creek
Long time punk rockers One Shot Left are set to rock Whiskey Creek on Saturday September 11th, with special guests Lions and Tigers and Bears (Calgary) & Jon Creeden (Ottawa). Tickets are $7 advance, $10 door, available from CD Plus (MH Mall) & Whiskey Creek (937 13th Street SW) starting Monday August 23rd.
If you have ever had the privilege of watching a band at Whiskey Creek, or under it’s previous moniker The Blue Turtle, it is by far one of the best rooms in the city to see a show. Let’s hope this is a great start to a new era of rock music in Medicine Hat!

Hedwig & The Angry Inch
Being more of a punk rocker than a theatre-goer, when I caught wind of this production happening in Medicine Hat, I couldn’t resist getting on board. Here’s the scoop…
Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a rock musical about a fictional rock and roll band (The Angry Inch) front by an East German transgender singer. The musical premiered off-broadway in 1998 and the film adaptation was released in 2000, starring and produced by writer John Cameron Mitchell.
The local production features 11 full songs, with the band on stage throughout the entire show, a band featuring a handful of local punk rock veterans (One Shot Left, Rex Stiff, Iverdale). You can guarantee this will be the heaviest rock musical to ever run in Medicine Hat!
When: March 12-13, 18-20
Where: Community Theatre Arts Centre (1221 10th Avenue SW)
Tickets: Adults – $24, Students – $19 (with valid student ID)
Tickets available online at http://www.ctacmedhat.com or by phoning Della Jesse at 403-502-3477.

Rapscallion Storefront
Rapscallion Design is a Medicine Hat-based graphic design company.
The company has been in business for years now, producing designs that range from clothing to websites.
Rapscallion Design sports an in-house screenprinting service which they utilize as all their retail designs are created by hand and screenprinted by hand. Mass production is cool and all, but it is definitely an added bonus to feel that you are not a product of mass production and to support the arts. Their designs are not done by a bunch of kids who pirated the Adobe Creative Suite and learned how to trace in it, but totally opposite, the workers at Rapscallion Design have their degrees in Visual Communications, and after being in the industry for a number of years, can really produce some awesome work.
You can check out the store at 455 3rd Street SE, Downtown Medicine Hat.

The band is fronted by guitarist and vocalist Jeff Barrett and to either of his sides are guitarist Blair Cooney and bassist Corey Tapp, both of whom provide backing vocals, and drummer Chad Schiebelbein. The band has received much praise from fans, including crediting from sources such as The Leader Post, Beatroute Magazine and PunkRocks.net. They are currently signed to MeterRecords.
One Shot Left - Red Deer 2005
They continue to play across south eastern Alberta, mostly between Calgary or their hometown of Medicine Hat, but in either case, if you manage to see one of their shows, you will invariably be in for a night of listening to awesome music and be provoked by an unstoppable force driving you to either tap your toe, or even jump in the pit.
