Cypress Hill’s B Real Vancouver show to benefit Battered Womens Support Services

September 12th, 2012 Filed under: ABORT Presents... by Heartbreak

(CLICK TO ENLARGE)

Vancouver, B.C. – It’s been a minute since we’ve seen Cypress Hill come through Vancity, so we’re pretty excited that on October 2, Coast2Coast, Regime Entertainment and The Fox are proudly presenting B Real of Cypress Hill at Fortune Sound Club. Abort Mag is right up in there with a pair of tickets to give away to a lucky fan. Tweet us at @AbortMag to tell us why you want ‘em!

As if a visit from a hip-hop legend wasn’t enough, one dollar from each ticket sold will directly support Battered Womens Support Services, and therefore help to create a secure environment which protects the rights of women to be heard, respected and to feel safe.

B Real has been the face - and the voice – of Cypress Hill since its inception in the late 80s. The first Latino hip-hop star was the driving force behind iconic albums like Black Sunday, which opened up the genre to a generation of weed-happy middle class hip-hop kids, changing the way hip-hop interacted with its demographic, and who it included in its musical community. He’s gone on to become a multi-platinum artist and a legend in his own rite, having collaborated with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Damien Marley to Too Short.

Attending this show – which will undoubtedly be amazing – means you can be involved in ending violence against women. Please take a look at bwss.org for more information.

TONIGHT! – ABORT is Proud to Sponsor: KITTIE at Red Room – Monday April 23rd, 2012 – Vancouver B.C.

April 23rd, 2012 Filed under: ABORT Presents..., ABORT Recommends... by Editor in Chief

The Invisible Orange presents all-female heavy metal band KITTIE – April 23, 2012 at the Red Room in Vancouver.

If you’re looking for subtle, look somewhere else. Kittie have never been for the faint of heart, but on new release I’ve Failed You the Canadian quartet redefine the scope of their heavy metal vision. They forge extreme anger with extreme vulnerability, splatter innocence with a foreboding doom, and bleed beauty and ugliness into a swirling aural mask. I’ve Failed You leverages the raw nerves of a brittle psyche against an unyielding human spirit, and elevates Kittie to all new extremes.

November 26th, 2011 Filed under: ABORT Presents..., ABORT Recommends..., News/Calendar/Industry by Editor in Chief

Densixx Entertainment, The Invisible Orange and ABORT Magazine unite to present:

GFYS: A Tribute to ABORT magazine founder E. S. Day
(Rest in Power: Feb 3 1968 – Nov 14 2011)

Vancouver’s metal and hip hop communities unite to celebrate the life and mourn the passing of a friend and devoted supporter of music’s underground.

With the presentation of: Ninjaspy, Red1 with Killawatt, Magnus Rising, Corvid, Friends with the Help, and Abriosis.

Date: December 9, 2011
Location: The Rickshaw Theatre (254 East Hastings)
On facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events/269507776433927

Tickets:By donation
Proceeds go to:
BATTERED WOMEN SUPPORT SERVICES
POSITIVE LIVING SOCIETY OF BC

with:

Ninjaspy

Metal/Hardcore/Reggae/Surf band Ninjaspy arose with the dawn of the year of six, embodied by the Triad in Blood: Vocalist/Guitarist Joel Parent, Drummer Adam Parent and Bassist Tim Parent. With the help of prolific producers, Garth Richardson and Ben Kaplan, they have entered the next level of their career, releasing their debut CD Pi Nature in the fall of 2007.

“ Think a 3 piece Mr. Bungle with Patton’s vocals taking a turn for the better, add some laser beams and dreads, turn it all up to eleven, stand the fuck back and enjoy!”. – Ground Report

Red1 with Killawatt

The Rascalz – RED1, DJ Kemo, and Misfit – have become iconic figures in the Canadian hip-hop world since their 1993 debut “Really Livin.” Over the past thirteen years and five albums, the critically acclaimed Van city crew has helped pioneer Canadian hip-hop. In the process, they have garnered numerous MuchMusic Video Awards, Urban Music Awards, certified gold records, NO. 1 singles on MuchMusic, and Juno Awards. (They famously declined a Juno in 1998 to protest the show’s policy, which excluded urban music from the televised broadcast). Rascalz member RED1 is now breaking ground on his own with Killawatt Records. He hopes the Vancouver-based label will expose emerging talent of all genres, from across the country and abroad.

Magnus Rising

Magnus Rising is a solid Vancouver Heavy Metal band with a passion for Rock n’ Roll. Originally from Newfoundland, Magnus Rising strives to satisfy the tastes of their loyal fans, while earning a place for their music in the lives of fans to come. Combining a vivid and high energy live performance with compelling and hard hitting songwriting, Magnus Rising sets out to play any for any audience that will truly listen.

Corvid

CORVID is a scumbag Celtic abstract anarchist hip hop mc originally from North Bay Ontario, currently residing in East Van. This is Hip Hop for those sick of the shit clogging the drain at the bottom of the pit from which deranged minds spit rhymes to destroy the limits of these weak times.

Friends with the Help

Friends With The Help have various ties to the arts community in Vancouver. Recent shows have seen the trio at literary events (inter/tidal iv), gallery openings (Gallery Gachet, Marion Scott Gallery), and at the inaugural show in the Bassment level of the W2 Media Cafe where FWTH released their debut mix tape to a sweaty throng. As a group or individually, FWHT have opened for/toured with the likes of Living Legends, Blowfly, Young Buck, The Game, Obie Trice, Front Line Assembly, and many more.

Abriosis

Abriosis is a 4 piece progressive death metal band hailing from Vancouver, BC. Have released a self titled e.p. , and their brand new full length album “Tattered and Bound”. Looking forward to continuing touring in Canada and abroad.

All proceeds are being donated to Battered Women Support Services and Living Positive.

Night hosted by DJ Temple of Without Mercy.
