About Me

- - - - -
I am the creator/host of Play it Hard, an independantly run radio show aired every Saturday at 5 pm EST on www.fusionradio.ca . If you want me to check out your band or interview you, just message me and let me know!
Bands that I have interviewed include:
Testament
Cryptopsy
Rotersand
Imperative Reaction
Hanzel Und Gretyl
Skinless
Bella Morte
Covenant- - - - -
I also write show reviews for a magazine called Toonage. You can check it out at www.toonage.ca Here's a list of the bands that I have reviewed so far:
Automatic
Liar and a Thief
Toy Box
- - - - -
The types of music I feature on Play it Hard include:
rock alternative punk industrial metal electronica experimental
Everything that I'm doing is produced solely by me, so for all you bands out there, if you want your music played on my show, either make your songs downloadable or send me a couple of .mp3s so I can play it on air. I really can't afford to buy all of your cds because, well... I just can't dish out $3000+ for all of your cds. I CAN help by promoting you guys and playing you on air, which I would LOVE to do. So if you're interested, and if you fit with the theme and style of PLAY IT HARD, send me a message and we'll work something out.
KEEP IT LOUD!
PLAY IT HARD!//DJ Goldie

Interview with Loopy and Kallas from Hanzel Und Gretyl . These guys are UBER awesome. I have nothing more to say except WATCH THE VIDEO! (And beg them to play a show near you)
Oktotenfest 2006 - October 15 @ the Funhaus
Interview with the guys from Bella Morte . They are hilarious. I can't even describe it. With some guest appearances by Loopy and the tour manager, Choochoo!
Quick Clip with Shawn from FNA at the Opera House on December 2.
Interview with Dan and Carson from Fiction City at the Opera House on December 2. Wes from Flatlined decides to intervene and moon the viewers.
Interview with Hooch from The Matadors at the Kathedral on October 27. Hooch holds the title for being THE toughest person I have ever interviewed in my life... ever! So Kudos to you on that one, Hooch. The Matadors are one of my favorite psychobilly bands of all time... ever!
Interview with Ginty and Matt from The Creepshow at the Kathedral on October 27. Ginty has an awesome laugh! And Matt's hair is cool. But besides all that, these guys play some mean tunes, and their live show was amazing. If you haven't checked them out yet... you should.
Interview with Tom from Assemblage 23 at the Reverb on October 27. Goldie is having a bad hair day because of the rain :(
Interview with Claude from Headscan at the Reverb on October 27. It's a shame the event promoter wouldn't let me take clips of anyone's set at the EBM FEST to add on to my interviews... Headscan played an amazing show. But what can you do? Some people are uptight...

Interview with Ricardo, the promoter and organizer of The Psycho Circus, which was held at the Republik Night Club.
Part 2 of the Psycho Circus Series.
Interview with Chris and Doug from My Darkest Days .
Part 3 of the Psycho Circus Series.
Interview with Johnny and Chad from Rise for Order . Needless to say, the interview was just a little bit crazy...
Part 4 of the Psycho Circus Series.
Interview with the creators from Plastik Wrap . And then... the fashion show! I want all of those outfits... don't you?
Part 5 of the Psycho Circus Series.
Interview with Pyro Paradox. This girl is HOTTER than her fire show. Don't believe me? Just watch the clip.
