Dark Side Of The Tune: Underground Victoria

The ritualistic effects of Lawrence Pazder's book "Michelle Remembers" on North American musicians rippled into Victoria's art scene and cultivated a heavy metal wave in which Victoria-based bands like Armoros recall Michelle's satanic apparitions in demo and live album. Metal is thriving in Victoria compared to other semi-underground genres and is continuing the takeover by putting on festivals in open city spaces and apparently being advertised by hipster coffee shops.   This episodes features Casey Lazar- pivotal show promotor and organizer of the Vancouver Island Metal Festival talks about starting Heavy Metal clubs, promoting shows, putting on the metal fest and other elements to Victoria's metal scene that create its unique taste.   Then, owner of Cavity Curiosity Shop as well as promotor and organizer Andy Andersson talks about the history of the shop, the recent move, and the future of the new space in relation to the local underground music and arts scene; of which this space is home.
