Tonight is the first night in the Montréal series of the Wacken Metal Band Battle competition. CJLO DJs will be guest judging throughout the series, with Andrew from Grade A Explosives on the panel this evening. Tonight’s event is at Katacombes and starts at 8:30, and features Dissension, Bookakee, Warcall, and Virulys. More info is here and here.
![Here’s Andrew & me during the second leg of CJLO’s 24hr radio marathon during BVSTNT, manning the phones and making sweet, sweet radio. We were there with a big gang of CJLOixcans until 9am this morning, and if you missed the last four hours, you missed easily some of Montréal’s best/worst radio ever.
You can still donate to CJLO, and come out to our upcoming events. All the info you need is right here.

Taking a break from their super serious rock, metal & electro shows,
join Andrew & Angelica for two hours of thrillin’ & shillin’,
of rockin’ & hawkin’ during the
CJLO 1690AM 24HR Radio Marathon!
The marathon runs from 9am on Friday, April 5th
until 9am on Saturday, April 6th ET, and
BVSTNT gets explosive from 10pm to midnight ET!
Tune in at CJLO 1690AM in Montréal and www.cjlo.com worldwide, and
CALL IN 514-848-7471!
Hey y’all, don’t forget that this is going down tonight. I’ll be pressing play on the brand new Kvelertak record, Meir, around 8pm, and giving away some sweet prizes, so come down early and have drink with me! CJLO metal DJs will be spinning all the heavy hits, and a guaranteed good time will be had by all! See you tonight!

Look at those bitchin’ aviators on that deplorable human being…
KVELERTAK. BURGERS. THINGS.
As you may or may not know, CJLO is celebrating a birthday this year. We have officially been on the air in Montréal for 5 years, and it’s been 15 years that CJLO in its current form has existed. To celebrate, we’ll be throwing events all year, which brings me to the next item of business…
Tonight, on my show, BVST (7 to 9 ET, CJLO 1690AM in Montréal, cjlo.com worldwide), I’ll be premiering selected tracks from the brand new Kvelertak record, Meir, which will be released in about two weeks. I’ve been listening to it for a month or so now, and trust me, you will not be disappointed!
I’ll be playing the record in anticipation of the upcoming Roadrunner Records / CJLO 1690AM listening party, which will be happening March 27th at Katacombes, and which will feature the new Kvelertak album as well as Disarm the Descent, the new Killswitch Engage record. The party starts at 7pm, there will be CJLO DJs spinning metal all night, prizes & giveaways galore, and admission is free, so c’mon down! Here’s a link to the Facebook event, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Finally, if all of this got you feeling a little hungry, you need to head over to Le Gourmet Burger (1433 Bishop) and grab yourself the official CJLO burger, with melty Cheddar, spicy Jalapeños, fresh Lettuce and delicious caramelized Onions (see what we did there?). You can get it on your choice of beef, chicken, bison or veggie burger, and I highly recommend getting the combo (which includes fries and a delicious house-made ice tea or lemonade).
To summarize:
TONIGHT: brand new Kvelertak tracks on CJLO from 7 to 9pm ET.
MARCH 27TH: awesome listening party for Kvelertak / Killswitch Engage at 7pm.
RIGHT NOW UNTIL APRIL 12TH: delicious CJLO burgers!
A lot of places will offer you deals on Boxing Day, but only CJLO gives you the year’s best music and banter absolutely free! Tune in Wednesday, December 26th from 7 to 10PM EST, as I team up with Idle Matt from Radio Fun team up for a 3 hour look back at 2012. Special guests Andrew from Grade A Explosives and teen internet sensation Film Ghoul will chime in as well. Skip the lines, and tune in… everything must go, one night only on CJLO!
… and you can read about ‘em by following the link above. Also, stay tuned to the CJLO magazine for more goodies in the following days, as CJLO DJs reveal their 2012 top ten lists!
Just like punk pushed aside monolithic arena rock, so too will Radio Fun be pushing BVST aside for one very special week only!
Tune in this Wednesday, October 17th at 7pm, and instead of two hours of the best (and worst) of rock’n’roll, country, punk & metal with me, Idle Matt will be dishing out one hour of your weekly dose of punk… and stuff.
If that wasn’t awesome enough, Idle Matt will also be giving away OFF! tickets to one lucky winner. Tune in to find out how to nab ‘em.
“But what about from 8 to 9pm?”, you might ask, also wondering what will be happening during Radio Fun’s regular timeslot of 9 to 10pm. Well, you’re in for a special treat.
This is CMJ week, and CJLO is down in NYC, hanging out with college and community stations from all over North America, and we’ve been offered the opportunity to broadcast live from the CMJ showcase at the Bowery Ballroom! Tune in from 8pm to midnight on CJLO 1690AM / www.cjlo.com to hear live performances from SKATERS, San Cisco, Pacific Air, and Solid Gold, coming to you directly from CMJ in NYC. Cool, huh? I thought so.
TONIGHT on BVST!
White Cowbell Oklahoma are blowin’ into town like a hot desert wind this coming Saturday! They’ll be debuting their freshly released slab of finger lickin’ Southern rock as well as new lineup at Petit Campus, and BVST will get you all warmed up with a sneak peek at their new album Buenas Nachas. Tune in tonight from 7pm ET on www.cjlo.com / CJLO 1690 AM, and feed your fever for more cowbell!
