New Make Your Exit Video

akira — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:54:23 +0000

Exciting news! Our good buddies from Toronto’s Make Your Exit have released their video for their song “Leave This Town”. See if ya notice anyone familiar (there might be a modernboy or two in the audience).

The video was directed by Eric Weber, a super-talented fella out in Vancouver. He’ll be shooting the first ever Modernboys Moderngirls video this fall which we’ll have more news about soon.

In the meantime, check out the new Make Your Exit video on AUX TV:

NXNE Nacho House Party on AUX

akira — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:55:01 +0000

Aux TV uploaded their NXNE 2010 review which included the Audioblood Rooftop Party featuring Hollerado and their famous nachos with broccoli (strange topping we know; their very valid explanation was it was on sale at the supermarket)

You’ll see Akira here for a split-second talking about buildings collapsing and nacho salvation.

50s Rock n’ Roll Party! What A Night

akira — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:52:41 +0000

Wow. That’s it. One word I think sums up that evening. Last Friday, was an unbelievable amount of fun, an astonishing amount of talent on stage, a frenzied and dance-crazy crowd, just a great night from start to finish. We’re gonna post up pics from the evening soon – but just want to send out a thank you to everyone who came, everyone who helped, everyone who performed and was left soaking in blissful sweat by night’s end.

The most common thing we heard all night was “we’ll have to do that again”.

Count on it.

Lots of love,

Modernboys Moderngirls
(Akira, Brett, Juan)

Check out a fan video of “La Bamba” closing out the night with basically everyone on stage.

It’s at the Garrison, Friday July 16. Put your best 50s dress or jeans on and make sure your shoes can put up with lots of dancing.

NXNE 2010: Rooftop Party in Photos

akira — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 10:40:57 +0000

One of the highlights of this year’s NXNE was getting to see a bunch of our favorite bands and friends all in one place with The Balconies. Dinosaur Bones, Still Life Still, Hollerado and Sandman Viper Command all performing on a downtown Toronto rooftop. Here are some photos from the couple of hours we were able to jump into the party and enjoy a couple of cold ones with our pals. Only regret: didn’t get enough shots of Mike Denby of Make Your Exit looking like a french comedian about to sneeze. See for yourself.
