It's Almost Halloween!

HOORAY! It's my favourite month of the year! October is also probably the busiest and this year is no exception. Between a packed month of awesome DJ events, I'm also going to be moving house... right into G33KPRON HQ! I can not wait... stay tuned for the awesome that will come from that. I hope to see you all at some point this month, November is going to see me take a much needed hiatus from DJ'ing... at least until the holidays!

But for now, want to know where to find me rocking and rolling this month? Read on!!

Thanksgiving weekend has me mighty thankful for Motown and I'll be making you dance alongside DJ's Brett Millius, Reverend Throwdown and Caff on Saturday, Oct. 6. The party kicks off at 10pm, is $5 til midnight and $10 after over at 751 Queen St. W. Long weekend or not, this party is always rammed. Don't come so fashionably late that you don't get in, I want to shimmy with you!!

Join the Teenagewerewolf and I for our monthly installments of Mess Around and Ready Steady Go! You can never be too sure just what you'll hear on these nights but if you've ever been out you know to expect a booming blend of punk rock, rockabilly, r&b, soul, garage rock, rock n' roll and everything in between. Mess Around happens Saturday Oct. 13 at the Cloak & Dagger Pub (394 College St.) and Ready Steady Go! is Thursday Oct. 19 at Bovine Sex Club (542 Queen St. W.).

The Dia De Los Muertos Festival of the Arts happens on Sunday, Oct. 21 and is an all day event showcasing talented artists and vendors giving you the chance to shop til you drop and participate in workshops. I'll be dj'ing while you explore during the day, and you can stick around for the evening cabaret that follows. I'll be there from 1pm-6pm! Find out about all of the goings on including who will be performing: http://diadelosmuertosfestival.eventbrite.com/

You'll be hearing me at the Silver Snail Halloween Party! Stay tuned for more info... http://www.silversnail.com/article/349

Misty Guest DJ's SHINDIG! on July 27/12

Howdy hi Shindiggers!

On July 27th, Shindig! is proud to announce a very special guest 45 selector, Dj Misty Rock n' Roll coming to The Piston, 937 Bloor Street West!

Dj Misty has been bringing her unique brand of Punk, Rock, Soul, R&B and Garage sounds to dance floors, table tops and bar stools in Toronto for over five (5) years and she's showing no signs of letting any one take her place as Toronto's premier Rock n' Roll dance party ruler!

Misty is a master of mixing hardcore underground with pop hits that send every crowd in to a dancing frenzy that never seems to let up! She can "school" you and make you throw your hands in the air with delight as she moves seamlessly from one 7" 45 to another.

She's been seen spinning at clubs like Lee's Palace/Dance Cave, Tattoo Rock Parlour, Phoenix Concert Theatre and Velvet Underground and her residency at the legendary Queenshead pub was deemed one of 2006's 'Best of" by Toronto Life magazine. Her sound was once described as "Music to break your boyfriend's nose to" and rightly so!

Currently, Misty is holding down residencies at The Bovine Sex Club (Ready Steady Go!) and The Cloak and Dagger Pub (Mess Around!) with her partner in crime, The Teenage Werewolf. She's also the resident music geek/columnist at G33KPRON, Toronto's premier geek culture website.

We are very excited to have her coming through to spin a set of 50's & 60's R&B, Soul, Garage and Rockabilly at the next Shindig! party on July 27th at The Piston, 937 Bloor Street West. The cover is only $5.00 and you must be 19 years or older to get in.

Get ready for another night of sweet R&B, Soul, Garage and Rockabilly with special guest Dj Misty Rock n' Roll alongside resident dance floor killers Splattermonkey and Parkdale Funk.

See you on the dance floor!

So you can tell I'm not posting here as much these days and that's not a bad thing because I am posting all kinds of music related goodness on the blog, G33KPRON which I've talked about on here before. It's a nerd culture blog written by awesome geeky women like myself and also features galleries of some very sexy geeks. So if you are reading this, go check it out and feel free to add your feedback in the comments section there. You can also email me any tips, or if you're in a band you can always send your info to, misty@g33kpron.com

We're The Droids you were looking for.

Otherwise, my life has been rather peachy. I'm finishing up my last round of overnight shifts for a long time which is a relief (and comes just in time for summer!). I'm still dj'ing monthly nights at the Bovine & Cloak & Dagger and will be dj'ing the occasional upcoming gig of awesome in the near future too; so keep an eye (and ear!) open for me at some of the upcoming Motown parties among others. I have a much needed vacation coming up to visit sunny California, I'll be spending a week in L.A. and San Diego. Have you been? Tell me where to go! I'll take lots of pics and post them here when I get back though in the meanwhile you'll have to keep up with my goings on by reading G33KPRON. See you all soon. :)
