Tokyo Requests from NXNE

Leave a comment


Now to start things off we were discussing on twitter with the Wet Gay90stweetsSecrets and the Gay Nineties to have them in the Mano A Mano environment for an interview or live to air. It turned out that they were watching Mounties bandmate Hawksley Workman’s play “The God that comes”. So we took a request from the Gay Nineties here is that twitter discussion.

The Gay Nineties requested the Hawksley Workman song “Tokyo Bicycle” which got us thinking on Air. The Mounties have a song “Tokyo Summer” and Hot Hot Heat (which includes Mounties member Steve Bays) has a song “Tokyo Vogue”. So the other official member of the Mounties is Ryan Dahle and he has no “Tokyo” song. BUT, he is releasing a new Limblifter album sometime soon…we tweeted him about his possibility….and it looks promising!

If there is a 14th song on the new Limblifter album you can thank the Mano A Mano show for that! If there isn’t…..we might have another collaboration project for Ryan!

The Lancaster Smokehouse Battle

Leave a comment

As part of Season 8 of the Mano A Mano show we are going to visit and review various local establishments that serve Lake of Bays Brewing Company beverages. This will then be used as our Mano A Mano battle theme every other week.

wpid-20140607_182610.jpgThe Podcast kinda does the best job in describing the experience but I will add here a few photo’s and a brief description.

Upon getting there I was surprised at how packed the restaurant was – which is always a great sign!

And then the food! ooh my goodness! It was excellent! I have never had wings this good before…it was a different style wpid-1402187990143.jpgfrom what I am used to, but it was excellent. Not battered, not deep fried – BBQ’d!! I also had some ribs, beer battered onion rings, some weird jalapeno bread ball things all topped off nicely with a refreshing Lake of Bays Beverage – Spark House red ale.
This Restaurant is a hidden gem in the KW area and I am very lucky that it is right near my house! I am definitely going to have to make a few extra stops here! Check out the podcast for some bands such as the local band The Gary Cain Band who play here and other songs we felt are great SmokeHouse Tunes!

Rock Cut Feature: The Gay 90’s and the Wet Secrets

Leave a comment



The Wet Secrets have been one of my favourite bands for a long while. We recently got the chance to see the Wet Secrets and their live show is just awesome! They are definitely a band you want to check out at NXNE. But not only are the Wet Secrets playing that show…..



… just recently two other bands have entered my top ten fav bands, those being The Mounties and Fur Trade. A common element to those two bands is Parker Bossley who is guitarist and singer of a band called The Gay Nineties – who is on tour right now with the Wet Secrets.  Their music is awesome! I have seen the Mounties a few times now and Parker Bossley is an amazing musician so I anticipate these Gay Nineties sets to be awesome as well!

Rob Zombie desecrated!

http://www.manoamanoradio.com/Features/Rob%20Zombie.mp3

It is hard to believe but there are some among us that dislike music and dislike our right to arts and culture! This painting of Rob Zombie was brutally desecrated by one such individual. It is quite sad because the artist “RGM” as signed on the back clearly spent a lot of time painting it to get such a great likeness to Rob Zombie. In this podcast we pour one out (one fine Rock Cut) and then drink to artist while rocking out some Rob Zombie greats.20140527_200347
