By no means will this be Steve Aoki’s first time in Winnipeg (from my count he has been here 4 times in the last 3 years including last summer at Republic) but that doesn’t change how excited I am for this show! Although within the electro scene there seems to be an increasing number of people who question his talent, he has had an incredible year.

-

In the past 12 months Aoki himself has released 2 high profile remixes (Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happines” and Drake’s “Forever”), grown his Dim Mak brand/record label significantly (signing new artists and furthering current ones), and played at some of the largest electronic music events of the year.

-

This guy always brings out an insane party that is not to be missed! Even if you have never been to an “electro” type show before I strongly recommend not missing this guy. For $20 you can’t go wrong and with some of Winnipeg’s heavyweight performers behind the promotion (High Society Events and Sound Republic) you know it will be a packed house.

Canad Clubs (without a doubt the dominant nightclub force in Manitoba) has recently re branded many of its most popular weekly club nights at some of it’s busiest nightclubs. These changes come in conjunction with the appointment of Jamie Hall (previously involved with Vivid and most recently Mystique) as the Director of Nightclub Promotions.

-

New Friday night @ Stereo with DJ Dub Zero. Flew in Glenn Morrison from Toronto a couple weeks ago to kick it off. Electronic music is starting to hit another boom and this night will definitely fill the regular Friday night void.

-

-

Brand new Monday night at Winnipeg’s largest nightclub, Tijuana Yacht Club. Opens at 4:00pm for happy hour & I heard a rumor that they have hot tubs on the patio. It seems like everyone in Winnipeg always talks about the Whiskey Dix patio but TYCs truly is on the same level.

-

-

Saturdays at Stereo are already one of the best weekly club nights in they city. This looks like the most minor change of the bunch as they are keeping the same DJ (WinnipegNightlife.Ca’s Peoples Choice Award Winner DJ Hollywood Hype) and only adding in a few new concepts (why change a winning formula right?).

-

-

Friday’s have been The O.C’s bread and butter night for many years now. In the past year however the night seems to have lost some of it’s popularity and attraction that it used to have. Fixx Friday’s were introduced over a month ago and it seems as though the re branding has worked.  The night is slowly regaining popularity and a variety of new DJ’s, Dancers, and attractions have been flowing through the club each week.

-

-

Saturday’s at The O.C have never really taken off for some reason (it has always been a “Friday” bar). To me this seems like a strange theme for a night and I would be willing to bet that typical O.C crowd would agree with me. Nobody ever know however and the uniqueness of this night might just push it into popularity.

-

-

The other day I was at Chapters buying a magazine. After getting a bit side tracked, I began to count the number of magazine covers that featured Justin Bieber on them for the month of June. I counted 14 magazines!

-

Justin Bieber is arguably the biggest solo male teen sensation since Michael Jackson. His videos have over a billion hits on Youtube (where he was originally discovered) and he has posted record album sales and Top 40 hits since blowing up about 2 years ago.

-

In all honesty I don’t mind Bieber. His songs are catchy, he is pretty funny (started fake rumors about himself and Kim Kardashien were dating) and confident in interviews, willing to try new things (working with a lot of Hip Hop artists lately), he is a proud Canadian (always credits Canada although he now lives in Atlanta) and is legitimately a pretty talented singer. Even cooler is the kid has some pretty serious ties to Winnipeg:

• His father lives here full time.
• There were rumors he was going to go to St. Pauls High School (some people even claim to see him taking tours around the school).
• He has been seen at Manitoba Moose games, Winnipeg malls and more.
• He was partying at Blush on New Years Eve (not a paid appearance).

-

Justin will be performing in Winnipeg at the MTS Centre on September 14 2010. Tickets went on sale yesterday and it looks like they are still available on Ticketmaster HERE. They range in price from ~$50-$70.

MY WORLD, which earned RIAA platinum in just a few short weeks, contained Justin’s first four Top 40 hits on the Hot 100, “One Time” (certified RIAA platinum), “One Less Lonely Girl,” “Love Me,” and “Favorite Girl.” Justin is the first solo artist in history to send four songs from a debut album into the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 prior to the album’s release.

-

As the title sponsor of the “My World” Tour, Xbox 360 is partnering with Justin Bieber in an innovative new way to bring the fun of “Project Natal” for Xbox 360 to Bieber fans across the U.S. Coming to everyone this holiday season, “Project Natal” will transform how people experience games and entertainment, controller free. Simply step in front of the sensor and “Project Natal” sees you move, hears your voice and recognizes your face. See a ball? Kick it. Start a movie? Say play. Concertgoers can experience “Project Natal”, just like their favorite pop star, as Xbox 360 will have “Project Natal” kiosks available for playing at concert venues throughout the tour.

-

“We’re thrilled to partner with such a talented star,” said Grover Holtzclaw, Xbox Director of Platform and Partner Marketing. “Justin Bieber’s known for his ability to entertain fans, and now with “Project Natal” for Xbox 360, fans can enjoy an extraordinary entertainment experience on the Bieber concert stage and in their own homes this holiday season.”

For those to have yet to hear, Monty’s Bar One has recently been re-branded into Lipstixx Exotic Nightclub by one of Winnipeg’s most powerful nightlife influences, Sabino Tummilo. Tummilo is the current owner of Solid Gold (a downtown Winnipeg strip club), the former owner of downtown nightclub “The Empire” (the former Whiskey Dix which closed after a well publicized string of violence) as well as currently having silent ownership interests in several other Winnipeg nightclubs, business’s and real estate.

-

Over the years, Monty’s Bar One has been a dynamic bar catering to many different groups of people. The bar has featured everything from strippers (evening, lunch and even the infamous “amateur nights”), dollar drafts, VLT’S and poker as well as hosted dance/DJ/club events. Many people also may not realize that Monty’s was home to Winnipeg’s Goth/Industrial scene by hosting their weekly “Cryptic Chaos” night. On any given night you could find people of all ages at Monty’s thanks to it’s close proximity to the University of Manitoba and a loyal, older crowd.

-

Many local residents have protested the opening of Lipstixx stating that changing Monty’s into strictly a strip club stating that it will attract violence, drugs and gangs to their neighborhood. Tummilo (who is no stranger to the press after the publicity surrounding The Empire) addresses these concerns in the below articles stating that since Monty’s has featured strippers for years, there is no difference now.

-

Comment Below! (NO SIGN UP REQUIRED)

Do you think strip clubs attract more violence, drugs and gangs then normal bars? Do you think Lipstixx will be a successful rebranding? Did you used to frequent Monty’s? Would you want a strip club opening in your neighborhood?

-

Club too exotic? Waverley Heights residents oppose opening of strip bar (Original Winnipeg Sun Article)

Area residents have laid bare their opposition to plans for Monty’s nightclub to go the full monty.

-

Monty’s Bar One, located in the Montcalm Hotel on Pembina Highway at Markham Road, has been re-branded as Lipstixx Exotic Nightclub. It was open for business on Thursday.

-

Waverley Heights resident Sarah Rosnes has started an online petition with the hope of sparking the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission to review the beverage room’s licence and keep the full-on strip club from opening.

-

“South Winnipeg is a desirable family neighborhood and we want to keep it that way,” said Rosnes. “With a strip club coming into the neighborhood, it brings a lot of unwanted things.”

-

She said she fears the strip club will attract gang members, drug dealers and threaten the safety of pedestrians.

-

Rosnes said she hopes concerned area residents will be granted a meeting with MLCC officials to discuss the beverage room’s licence. The petition had more than 100 supporters by Thursday afternoon.

-

Beverage rooms that are already licensed need no new MLCC permits or authorization to put on strip shows. Monty’s has hosted exotic entertainment for years and strippers last walked its stage in October.

-

“The bar used to have dancers for 25 years,” said Sabino Tummillo, who is managing the new strip bar with his brother Rob. “There’s no difference now.”

-

The Tummillos also run the downtown strip club Solid Gold on Notre Dame Avenue.

-

Sabino Tummillo formerly owned The Empire nightclub on Main Street. He voluntarily gave up its liquor licence — avoiding a public hearing into the club’s operations by the MLCC — and sold the bar in January 2008 after 24-year-old Jeff Engen was stabbed to death the previous November during a fight in a basement lounge.

-

Winston Yee, director of licensing and inspection with the MLCC, said the booze regulator has interviewed community members with concerns about Lipstixx and could review the licence if there is a large public outcry.

-

“It’s weighing the impact to the community,” Yee said.

-

“You’re balancing that with a licensee’s rights and privileges as authorized under legislation as well.”

-

-

Just being ‘exotic’ isn’t enough to force business out (Original Winnipeg Sun Article)

Like most homeowners, I wouldn’t consider having a strip club next door to my home a bonus.

-

For similar reasons, I also wouldn’t seek out a home too close to a rowdy nightclub of any kind.

-

Exotic dancers and rowdy drunks don’t exactly provide a sense of “home, sweet home” to most people.

-

Yet the outrage of one group of Winnipeggers fighting to shut down a new strip club in the exact spot of a previous bar is puzzling.

-

Lipstixx Exotic Nightclub has opened where Monty’s Bar One stood in the Montcalm Hotel for decades.

-

Perhaps some neighbours of the Pembina Highway nightclub didn’t realize the bar itself had several well-promoted exotic dancing nights and regular noon-hour nudity. In fact, strippers have been featured as entertainment at the site for 25 years.

-

Strippers

-

These critics argue an exotic nightclub would attract a new segment of society to the neighbourhood, which seems a needless worry since such patrons would already visit the club.

-

Strippers have performed at Monty’s over the lunch hour for at least two decades.

-

Yet Winnipeg mom Sarah Rosnes said she was shocked that Waverley Heights community members weren’t warned about plans for Monty’s to be replaced by Lipstixx.

-

The new club made strippers a much more prominent part of the attraction when it opened on May 13 but the fight to push the business out of the area has just begun.

-

Rosnes has started an online petition that aims to close the club by forcing a review of its liquor licence.

-

The Manitoba Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) says it could place certain conditions on the nightclub if enough residents oppose it.

-

By Friday night, Rosnes’s petition had attracted 203 signatures.

-

Rosnes claims a strip club could also attract gang members and drug dealers to the area.

-

Yet violence is always a risk anywhere alcohol is served, so it’s not clear that adding partial nudity to the equation would attract much worse of a clientele.

-

Gang members and drug dealers have also been known to get into trouble in bars of all kinds.

-

Baseless accusations

-

Other accusations about the club are simply baseless. An ad listing a link to the petition on Kijiji, for example, claims the club violates a city bylaw, even though the city has explained it doesn’t.

-

The city does require new businesses featuring adult entertainment to be placed at least 1,000 feet away from homes but this bylaw doesn’t apply to existing licensed establishments. That’s probably because a neighbourhood isn’t likely to change much when a new business offers the exact same services as the one it is replacing.

-

Rosnes also claims the club would wreak havoc with pedestrian traffic, without explaining why strip club patrons are far more dangerous drivers than those attending regular bars.

-

It wouldn’t be fair for the MLCC to bully a business that has yet to do anything wrong, just because its neighbours are assuming the worst.

-

If Lipstixx wreaks havoc by breaking liquor laws, than this review would be in order.

-

But to force it out of business simply because of its “exotic” nature isn’t reasonable. In Winnipeg, nightclubs are often forced to shut down after extreme violent episodes, whether they offer any form of nudity to their patrons or not.

-

The blend of alcohol, a party atmosphere and a few misguided patrons are all it takes for things to get out of hand.

-

The level of dress of the staff inside may not make much difference.

Group Bio:

Baron and eKa of Mustard Pimp, inspired by metal, rock, and other notable music that they’ve tuned in to, are an unclassifiable French dynamic duo who have experimented with eclectic styles in their tracks.

-

Baron can trace his roots to DJing acid and techno music, while eKa can recognize his beginnings as a guitarist in a French metal band. Both eventually joined forces to make diverse remixes, instantly receiving support from well-established musicians, which include the following: The Crookers, Steve Aoki, Eagles of Death Metal, Shinichi Osawa, Designer Drugs, Steed Lord, Partyshank, A1 Bassline, Larry Tee, Dada Life, Stereoheroes and Bryan Cox.

-

Mustard Pimp’s debut single “Oh La La Satan” was released under Crux Records in September 2008, immediately followed by MP released in their second EP Raging Blood under Idiot House Records the following month.

-

Early in 2009, they released their third EP RER EP, available on the Internet. In July 2009, Mustard Pimp signed the singles, “Cherry” and “Kiwi” under super hot Dim Mak Records. The same year, they released a 12-hour mixtape called Hercules Mixtape, which represented all of their influences. To top it all off, they doubled the number and did it again in January 2010 with a 24-hour Mixtape that was a global hit on blogs.

-

Mustard Pimp have been featured on blogs from all corners of the world. In addition, they have released more than 25 mixtapes within the last two years. To date, their mixtapes and tunes have already been downloaded over 150,000 times.

-

Currently, the duo are set to release their single “Rock, Paper, Scissors” in June 2010.

After weeks of rumors, Stephen Hua (the current owner of Republic Nightclub as well as one of the new partners involved in Vivid & Mystique) has finally announced publicly that his promotion company, Sound Republic, is bringing Drake to Winnipeg’s Centennial Concert Hall On July 21 for the hottest concert of 2010.

-

It was just over 2 years ago when I first heard about Drake. The hype around him was just starting to build thanks to Lil Wayne’s endorsement of his skills and his inclusion of Drake on one of his mixtapes. The first track I ever heard Drake rap on, Ransom, is still my favorite. Drake raps about Toronto and Degrassi among other things and in my opinion completely blows away Lil Wayne who many consider to be one of the greatest lyricists ever. Listen below:

DRAKE - THE AWAY FROM HOME TOUR
with special guests

-
Juno Award winner DRAKE has launched his 2010 Away From Home tour in support of his anticipated debut studio album Thank Me Later (due June 15, 2010 on Young Money Records/Universal Motown). The hip hop phenomenon has been rocking the charts since he caught the attention of Lil’ Wayne, thanks to the two mixtapes that the Toronto-based actor and musician recorded under the moniker Drake in 2006 and 2007, while still appearing as the character Jimmy Brooks on the TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation. The singles flowed and the attention grew – from “Replacement Girl” to “Best I Ever Had” and “Every Girl”, Drake was quickly becoming a talent to watch, and soon found himself working in the company of hip-hop’s elite, include Jay-Z, Kanye West, Mary J Blige, Timbaland & Dr. Dre.
-
In September 2009, the EP So Far Gone was released, debuting at #6 on the Billboard 200, making it the highest charting album in the United States by a Canadian rapper, and netted him two 2010 Juno Awards (Best New Artist, Rap Recording of the Year). They join his other plaudits from the BET Hip Hop Awards, and his numerous MTV Video Music Award, Grammy and Soul Train nominations.
-
Drake’s unprecedented part in today’s hip-hop will continue with Thank Me Later. Featuring production by Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Timbaland, Swizz Beats and more, and performances by West, Jay-Z, The Dream, and k-os, Thank Me Later is one of the most anticipated albums of the year.

Although Manitoba lacks a true, full scale electronic music festival such as Shambhala (British Columbia), Motion Notion (Alberta) or Connect (Saskatchewan), some ambitious promoters have decided to throw a similar event in Portage La Prarie on Saturday, May 2010 now Saturday June 26th 2010.

-

Providing music to the event will be over 15 familiar faces in the Manitoba rave scene spinning a multitude of genres including Electro, Trance, Dubstep, Drum And Bass, and even some Breaks. Entrance to the event is incredibly reasonable at only $15 per person (or $45 per vehicle) considering patrons have the opportunity to see so many acts. This event is 16+ and will go on rain or shine.

-

-

In classic rave fashion, the exact location of the event (although it is stated that it is approximately 1 hour West of Winnipeg) will not be released until the day before it starts (be sure to check WinnipegNightlife.Ca for details or call the official party info line).
