Cobra Ramone is full of rock and roll badassery. She proves that girls can rock as hard as boys and look sexy doing it. On stage she is joined by Big Daddy Deachman (drums) and Trevor Snakedust (hammond B3) for dirty guitar driven blues-rock and vocals that any singer would be envious of.
Currently based out of Vancouver, Canada, Cobra is recording new music and touring all over North America. Make sure you go see her and the boys when they visit your city! For updates on shows and other band debauchery follow them on twitter.
Her latest record is a self-titled face-melting 10-track chronicle about the apocalypse, zombies and ‘boys-are-dicks’ type songs that can be previewed and purchased at http://cobraramone.com/
Tony and I were lucky enough to grab last minute tickets to Transit’s fist pumping CD release show this past Saturday at UofC’s Mac Hall Ballroom. Transit’s latest album, Stale, was officially released January 3rd, 2013. You can sample and buy the album here: http://transit1.bandcamp.com/album/stale-4
If you love hip hop you will not be disappointed.
The show was packed with awesome performances and special guests like Jesse-James Cameron from Makeshift Innocence (www.iriemi.com), Joe Nolan (www.joenolansongs.com) and Sykamore. Newcomer The Blue rocked the stage performing a powerful duet with Transit and beat-savvy DJ Crosswalk (www.facebook.com/dothecrosswalk) kept the tracks and filanthrofists going all night.
Overall we were completely blown away by this high-energy jam-packed show.

Thanks to everyone who came out on Friday night. We had fantastic acoustic night with local performers Justin Wilson and Taylor Lang, Aislinn Grant and Nicki McRae. Brett McCrady from Vancouver could be one of our new favourite artist. He threw a great set together and was a total blast to hang with all night.
Photos from Calgary photographer Madigan of Storms (www.ofstorms) will be posted on www.facebook.com/jenavivemusic over the next week. Be sure to like the fan page and tag yourself with naughty Santa and his dirty elf.
Best of all was the incredible food bank support from all our fans. We were able to raise 105 pounds of non-perishable food items. Nice work team!!!
