Balladeer and actor John Gogo hails from a musical family in Snuneymuxw (a.k.a. Nanaimo) on Vancouver Island. Best known for writing and performing his folk songs about the people and places, the true and tall tales of the West Coast, John produced his sixth full-length album, Western Balladeer.
The wistful “Cougar Annie” was inspired by Western Canadian legendary pioneer Ada Annie Rae-Arthur. The homesteader carved out a five-acre garden in the wilderness, ran a successful nursery, post office and general store while raising 11 children. She became known as Cougar Annie after word got around about her shooting around 70 cougars and countless bears that had threatened her kids and garden.
Newcastle based Alt Rockers Grub have just released their blistering new single and music video ‘Pulling Teeth’, which premiered recently via
The Point Music News.
The single is the first offering and title track from their upcoming EP that comes out on August 30.
“Pulling Teeth was written out of frustration, it’s directed towards people who say they have your best intentions at heart but will never act on their words.”
Grub draw inspiration from Rock, Punk and Alternative genres and blends it together, creating a unique brand of filth. Combine that with a live show that has been described as
“a maelstrom of blistering energy, all serrated edges and teeth” and you have yourself an experience that you won’t forget.
Since their inception in 2020, Grub have cemented themselves as a mainstay in the Newcastle music scene, building a loyal grassroots following through the live music community. These connections have landed them supporting slots on bills with Loser,
Mac the Knife and Private Function, as well as several local festivals.
New single ‘Pulling Teeth’ is available on all major online stores and streaming services.
