The Joys “Unfold”: SXSW, the Mid-West and a peanut butter sandwich

Hey everyone,

It’s Dani from www.makeaquick.com here, reporting a really cool band that are really stirring up the scene. The Joys have recently embarked on a tour to promote their new CD “Unfold”, which started in late February, consisting of an appearance on A Channel morning show in London, hitting SXSW among Canadian heavy-hitters, a gig at the legendary Cat Club in Los Angeles and forward on to the Midwest. Do they ever take time to breathe?Clearly not, the band has recently signed with Koch Entertainment to help promote the new album, a whole new facet to their team. What does the album sound like? The Joys signature classic rock sound, full of great classic riffs and the occasional ballad with vocals that will kick you in the teeth. A lot of the songs have that catchy, timeless structure that The Joys are so well known for. The difference between The Joys and most other bands out there? Their live show is absolutely phenomenal and I mean it is truly a rock ‘n’ roll performance that can rival some of the legendary bands in their genre. Lead singer Sara Smith is indefinitely dynamic, vocally and emotionally; with the ability to connect with everyone from your mom, the big dudes at the biker bar and the tween music lover.

With an endless list of accolades, among them a TIMA 2007 nomination for “Best Female-Fronted” , and extensive press coverage, it was inevitable that The Joys were to hit Gold record status with their single “Storm”.
The experience has boosted them into the spot light and have made them push even harder to gain cross-national appeal.

On a stop in Los Angeles at Cat Club in West Hollywood, guitarist Mike McKyes took some time to answer a quick Q & A with us:

Q. The Joys were recently picked up by Koch Entertainment, how has the label helped? Has it become easier to manage the various components, Booking, Touring, Writing, Publishing, Management, etc?

A. Koch has a been a great door opener for us, and a great addition to our growing team. They have definitely made it easier by helping us with their expertise, efforts and contacts and put our album in stores nationwide.

Q. You were selected among some great company to represent Canada at SXSW, Bedouin Soundclash, Magneta Lane, Arkells etc. What was your experience like?

A. Aside from the fact that we were surrounded by thousands of people in downtown Austin and all the streets were closed off, I really felt like we treated it as another show… I mean, we were accepted to participate because of who we are just like all the other great acts that performed with us. I’m honoured that we got to experience SXSW, thank you!

Q. You released a brand new video for “Storm” off your latest album nationally in February, what have the responses been like?

A. Our fans love it, and it’s funny how perceptions change when it was released. I still wake up in the morning and brush my teeth the same way and people think that we’re famous now! I like it, because it makes me smile.

Q. The Joys have been touring since February, do you have any funny stories from the road?

A. Yes, Kevin made a homeless guy a peanut butter sandwich at a rest stop somewhere between El Paso and Hollywood yesterday. I don’t know why that’s funny… it just is to me.

Q.It doesn’t look like you guys are stopping anytime soon, especially with the release of your recent CD, what’s next? Will you be coming back to California anytime soon?

A. It’s a never ending process of playing live and promoting our music, and trying to balance that with writing new material, recording it and introducing it into our live musical repertoire. Oh ya, and finding some time to sleep in there.

How to look PIMP by dying your Blackberry Trackball!

It’s Dani here from www.makeaquick.com! It was Egor’s birthday yesterday, so Patrick and I decided to steal his Blackberry BOLD and make some suprise modifications! Ever want to match your trackball to your keyboard or casing? Check out our steps on how to dye your very own trackball for under $5!

STEP 1: Go to Walmart and purchase fabric dye of any colour, just make sure the brand is “RIT”

STEP 2: Carefully take apart the Blackberry and remove the trackball and it’s casing. Youtube it because this can be very difficult, and you can easily break the phone.

STEP3: Remove the trackball casing from the trackball, be careful not to lose any pieces!

STEP4: Squeeze the fabric dye into a bowl, the dye comes off ceramic easy. Warm up the dye in the microwave for 10 - 20 seconds. dip the ball into the dye, cover it entirely and leave it for a couple hours.

STEP5: take the ball out of the dye with tweezers, dry it until no excess dye comes off.

STEP6: put the trackball back in its casing, and put the phone back together.

STEP7: That’s it! Check out the black trackball we did as well!

Have a Blackberry or an Iphone? Makeaquick.com discovers some free applications!


My roommate got the Blackberry Bold recently. I’ve always been a fan of Blackberrys. I had a Curve most recently and really loved it. When working with clients and advertisers from www.makeaquick.com , it’s important to keep in contact and be able to view word files, powerpoint presentations and more seamlessly while I’m on the road. Since I was due for a cellphone upgrade, I thought it would be cool to get the Blackberry 8900. It has a lot of the features that are the same as the Blackberry Bold with the exception of G.

So far I’m loving it! I spent a couple hours online searching for free Blackberry apps to make my life easier and that I thought would interest our www.makeaquick.com team. I found some pretty interesting stuff.

Do you hate texting while driving or are simply lazy and hate typing long-ass text messages to clients or friends, especially those who refuse to call you and insist on texting you a novel? Well then VLINGO is for you. VLINGO basically allows you to “Speak” into your device and have applications carry out their respective functions. This includes sending emails, texts, memos, browser web searches, social-networking status messages and much more. AND this thing actually works, you don’t have to talk slow or like a robot, and it doesn’t make a ton of errors. Check it out at: http://www.vlingo.com/

For those slackers at work, not us at www.makeaquick.com of course, we found the ideal application for you!


Sling Media just released a new Sling Player application for Blackberry. What’s a Sling Player you might ask? A Sling Player allows you to watch your favorite television program that you have at home on your mobile device. The Sling Box attaches to your cable box, it costs only a few hundred bucks, and the Blackberry application is free. So if you’re at work late, or on a business trip in Japan, you can watch Boston Legal, Survivor, the football/basketball game, or any of your favorite television programs on your phone. Not only is it super cool if you love television, but it is virtually changing how people enjoy media. If you have a DVR or a TIVO, you can even watch the programs you have recorded.

If you have an iphone, the new application is being released really soon! Check out: http://www.slingmedia.com/

www.makeaquick.com gets to test-drive some new gadgets! An insane Xbox 360 and a new ereader!



There are a lot of people who still read books..no, really! I’m serious. Brands like Sony and Samsung are trying to make it easier for people like you and me to read on the go! Be it, Go Transit, the Subway, Train, or in the car on a long weekend vacation. Dani from www.makequick.com got to test-drive the new Samsung Papyrus. What is a Samsung Papyrus you might ask? It’s an e-book reader, and its super cool. It comes in some sleek colours like sea foam green and black. It also has some great applications to help you keep organized like a memo pad, world clock, contact list, calculator etc. What a handly little organizer.

The Samsung Papyrus will hit the stores this summer in Korea and launching in the US/UK soon. The price is about $299, which is cheaper than all models of e-book readers currently on the market! Maybe They’ll advertise on www.makeaquick.com!



Are you an Xbox 360 Fiend? Or one of those crazy people that mod Xboxs for fun on your spare time? DanI from www.makeaquick.com got exclusive access to Microsoft’s 360development kit. It features double the memory of a stock 360 (1GB) - room in the hardware for devs to debug AND it runs burned discs. This XBOX runs as smoothly as www.makeaquick.com flash technology. Plus.. It looks absolutely super sweet. Unfortunately, this thing isn’t for sale or on the market.

Makeaquick.com SXSW Adventures Day 4 & 5!

It’s Dani from www.Makeaquick.com reporting from the hottest music event in the world right now. Check out my exclusive coverage of Kanye West’s private performance and way more below!

I really enjoyed the Pop Montreal Showcase. Having never heard The Boats had a pretty respectable set. The D’Urbervilles were simply sexy and Les Handclaps are that type of feel-good upbeat pop that just makes you want to dance, regardless of if you know what they’re saying or not. Pop Montreal is still on the top of their game.



Silversun Pickups @ Antone’s, showed off their technical ability, literally ripping up the neck of a guitar with perfect ferocity. Silversun Pickups have that rare ability to extend the climax of a song to Mogwai-esque euphoria. They previewed some new material for the crowd from their unreleased album entitled Swoon. From the sound of it. I think it’s going to be another mega hit.

Jesse from MSTRKRFT seems to have lost the edge that was so apparent in Death From Above 1979, and now bores us with uninspired mixes.

We just wanted to let you know that Zaki Ibrahim is nominated for a Juno, and performed last night at Buffalo Billiards around 9pm. Having seen her numerous times, we didn’t check out her set - but in the words of Empire Isis, she is “gangstress”. Speaking of which we hope to have TIMA 2008 “Best Out-Of-Province” winner Empire Isis perform at the 2009-2010 TIMAs award ceremony. We also heard she was filming for her musiqueplus series during SXSW, check it out here: http://www.musiqueplus.com/emissions/empireisis/videos.html

We also wanted to see Ra Ra Riot and Immaculate Machines but didn’t get a chance. If you saw them, comment and tell us how they were!




Having purchased tickets for Fader Fort ahead of time, we were able to get in to the Kanye suprise gig. That being said, tickets were selling for ridiculous prices on the streets of SXSW. The performance opened with Kid Cudi, who you will be seeing a lot of in the upcoming years, scroll down and check out our previous blogs, we included a video of a Kid Cudi performance for you to check out. Common then hit the stage later joined by Kanye West. Since the Grammys, Knaye cut his ridiculous 80s hair (thank God) and has ditched the Venitian blind glasses for the solid plastic variety. Its ok, we can’t all be perfect… the duo spat insane lyrics for a few songs, and then were joined on stage by Erykah Badu (originally from Texas). The trio were impressive, In her own words, Erykah Badu was “hot like pussy in the sun” and it was apparent that Common “ain’t lil Wayne but [he] got a lollipop”.

My main issue with Kanye? The guy can rap and freestyle, obviously. When it comes to singing? He’s pretty much as good as Britney Spears lip-synching at the ACC. “Heartless” was OK, but his voice was so modified, it really took away from the performance for me. I can give him props for putting in the effort though. The performance(s) ended with Kid, Common and an all-star lineup joining Kanye on stage to sing “Good Live” and “Love Lockdown”

Kanye, Metallica, on SXSW? WHY WHHYYY WHHYY? For me, SXSW is about showcasing indie bands and you damn well know that every photographer, A&R Rep, and writer was at Fader Fort tonight - hell, we had someone there. Why overshadow the independent artists when you have an international stage, anywhere/ anytime? It seems slightly ridiculous. I really do commiserate if you played at any other venue at SXSW this evening.

Regardless, Maybe we can get Kanye and Metallica to advertise on the “Music” tab of www.Makeaquick.com!

Makeaquick.com’s SXSW Adventure Day 3 & 4

I saw The Airborne Toxic on The Late Show with David Letterman, so I thought I would skip over to the NME showcase to see what the buzz was about. You’ve probably heard “Sometime Around Midnight” on the radio. They performed earlier in the week with Lily Allen and a few others. This band has a ton of Sold Out shows in the UK, and I mean, they’re ok. They’re sometimes really solemn, delicate and beautiful, other times they sound like The Cure meets The Strokes . I’m not surprised that they‘re a NME endorsed band. The being said, Cut Off Your Hands sound the same to me. Maybe it’s just my ear, or the fact that they were playing like 20 shows at SXSW and we had enough already of them. Same with Boy Crisis and the others.



Dynamic and flamboyant as always, Brooklyn natives Semi Precious Weapons hit the stage with their take on 80’s glam rock. Let me tell you, they aren’t a The Darkness-style kitschy interpretation of what 80’s rock was. Justin has so much charisma and attitude that I enjoy the music every time I see them and i’m totally entertained as well. Semi Precious Weapons are show stoppers, regardless of who they’re lined up with. Think of genderfukt New York Dolls with 6” stilettos. Who else could hump Rachael Ray at SXSW and get away with it?

Primal Scream are probably one of my favourite new bands. See them on March 24th @ The Phoenix Concert Theater in Toronto, Ontario. Check out their Myspace.



I was most excited last night to see The Sonics. To me, the Sonics are one of those bands that embody everything great about music. The Sonics are a lot older then most of the bands playing SXSW, but you would have never known it. Saxophone, gritty organ intact and full-speed ahead for their entire set -they are a total ’60s anachronism. Their punk rock cover, “Louie, Louie” , could have rivalled Patti Smith, and was one of the most intricate and sinister takes on the song I’ve heard. The Sonic’s aren’t the only band poised for a comeback. I heard the DEVO gig was extremely impressive gray jumpsuits and new songs in all, and they haven’t changed a bit. New studio album soon? We think so!

Makeaquick.com at SXSW Diaries: Day 2 & 3

Hey Everyone,

It’s Dani here from www.torontoima.com and www.makeaquick.com!



Playboy Rock the Rabbit Party was the party to TRY to get into, mind you it was private and impossible anyway.. Energy Drink and Burrito in hand, I almost spilled my Rockstar when finding out one of our friends got in. WTF?! This is what we could get out of him before he passed out:

Moby really got the crowd going….and playmates going (SERIOUSLY!), closed his set with “Paradise City” by Guns ‘n‘ Roses I did a lot of dancing. Blah blah, honestly thought Moby was dead and gone… Centerfolds still like him… MGMT, last year’s SXSW darlings (they were EVERYWHERE in ‘08)…really solid set and were the highlight, only having seen them once before. Justice where Meh. Centerfolds. Never heard of the UK’s The Heavy or The Rub - but was most impressed with The Rub and the Centerfolds … (he then proceeded to sleep the rest of the day and we haven’t seen him since, sensory overload?)




Look out for Playboy’s annual March music issue. http://www.playboy.com/magazine/features/rock-the-rabbit/

Big Boi and K’naan were great, the crowd went crazy for Outkast hits and he said that a new album may drop in the near future. Andre 3000? Nowhere to be found.

Red Red Meat performed, who we haven’t seen for years
- Is this a comeback with the re-issue of their 95 disc “Bunny Gets Paid”?

We really wanted to see Grizzly Bear - but they literally had a line as far as the eye could see. We heard that there was a delay for about 45 min.

Weirdest moments of the day:

Kris Kristofferson’s limo and the massive crowd of industry-types and god who surrounding him near the New West Party.

Seeing Semi-Precious Weapons and their HAIR. We caught them last year at the Cravefest International Video Awards @ Tattoo Rock Parlour, real show-stoppers. See them if you can.

The Handsome Furs blew us away at the Subpop Showcase, it felt like Dan almost shattered the mic with every lyric, and Alexei was barefoot - what’s with the barefoot thing? For some reason every time I see someone barefoot on stage it reminds me of K. D. Lang. Nonetheless, she is a nimble little thing who can play synth like the best of them. Handsome Furs emphasis how many truly gifted bands we have coming out of Canada right now.

Tonight? The Plans? NME Showcase @ Ace’s Lounge or Vice Records @ Emo’s Main Room

The big buzz for tomorrow night: Rap battle between Common and Kanye maybe? Where? Fader Fort at some industry party. When? We don’t know!! But when we do we’ll tell you!

Makeaquick.com is at SXSW the Hottest Ticket TONIGHT!



Hey! It’s Dani from www.makeaquick.com, so we promised to bring you updates from SXSW in Austin, Texas. GEZ! Everyone is buzzing, twittering and so on about all of the bands performing. Other people are throwing “SXSW can Suck It!” parties in LA, mostly because they are jealous they can’t be in Texas, which I swear is the only time anyone will ever be jealous that they aren’t in Texas… Last night we split up and got to check out the legendary Roky Erickson w/ The Black Angels at Austin Music Hall. Others went to go check out the awesomeness that is Camera Obscura and The Bronx at Red 7 Patio. We Looooveeee The Bronx, especially “White Tar”.

The final group went to go show support for the HUGE night of Canadian Acts at the Last Gang/Paper Bag Showcase @ The Habana Calle 6 Patio featuring Lindie Ortega, Winter Gloves, Magneta Lane, Wood Hands and Mother Mother. All very good, Mother Mother was the hot ticket at CMW as well.

In addition, TIMA 2008 “Best Pop” Nominee Emma Lee performed at St. David’s Church at midnight.

The hottest ticket tonight? According to our friend Eric Alper of Koch Entertainment, Metallica’s Secret Show - but otherwise, there are some pretty amazing acts performing…so many we don’t know where to start, really - there is sooo much! If you dig urban music check out K’naan, who you may have heard most recently on MTV protesting the economic status of the US between your weekly dose of The Real World. He is performing today as part of an “AfroPunk” showcase with London Soud, Janelle Monae, Dallas Austin & Big Boi of Outkast @ Austin Music Hall.

If you’re feelin’ somethin Canadian: Sam Robert’s Band and Arkells are playing tonight at Cedar Street Courtyard in succession starting at 8:30pm. Six Shooter has a showcase tonight at The Velveeta Room with Jenn Grant, Elliott Brood, Melissa McClelland, Luke Doucet and NQ Arbuckle, starting at 9pm.

Emo’s Main Room: Cut Off Your Hands 11pm and Peter Bjorn and John @ 1am.

To Buy or Not to Buy? Makeaquick.com is STILL debating!


Being a lover of great architecture, I always like to check out the latest in modern house design. That being said, I didn’t expect ever seeing the beauty that lies in the mathematical deconstruction of the Klein Bottle experimental house. Not only does the design have a genius base, it’s also environmentally friendly with a water collection system and solar panels inclusive.

Klein Bottle is notorious for housing designs that are the epitome of modern spatial relationships and configurations. Another really cool house by his name is the Klein Bottle / McBride Charles Ryan in Mornington Penisula, Australia. This house is based upon the idea that although the unique surfaces may be distorted, they remain topologically the same.



Innovative? Damn straight! It’s great to make bounds and leaps within your own field. Like Klein Bottle, www.makaquick.com has revolutionized pixel advertising! With a friendly administrative and marketing team, innovative website with integrated flash technology and entrepreneurial aims, we work to make sure that you’re ad is exposed to hundreds of thousands online.

John Richmond.. what a culprit!


So I was speaking at a music conference the other week. Thinking all of the attention is on me of course, and I get more questions and pictures taken of MY SHOES! I got a ton more publicity than usual from even fashion press simply due to what I was wearing. What the heck you wonder? I wondered too! I’m guess when I think about it more, i’m not really surprised though. The shoes in question are actually John Richmond’s that were purchased as a gift in Italy.

If you don’t know who John Richmond is, he’s an awesome indie influenced designer. John Richmond is a celebration of the energy, creativity and unpredictability of youth and street culture. Each line is heavily influenced by musical movements, blended with “street chic”, John’s own irreverent style and luxurious precision. These fundamental elements of the philosophy have led to the iconic slogans “Destroy, Disorientate, Disorder”, “Diamond Dog” and “Eat Cake”. John’s close ties with the music industry have led him to dress stars such as Madonna, Mick Jagger and Annie Lennox.

What an unexpected and creative way to gain publicity! I guess celebrities do it all the time, but who knew it could work for me on a business-level. If you are trying to break your brand into the industry or even new market areas, such as fashion, music, or the internet, try to think out-of-the-box when it comes to your marketing campaigns. Categorized Pixel Advertising is a great new and inventive way of marketing. It’s unique in that makeaquick.com utilize flash technology to make sure that your advertisement is visible.

Looking for More Longevity Out of Your Laptop?


So my room mate ALWAYS makes fun of my laptop. We got the same laptop, around the same time, a pretty awesome HP dv1020 about 3-4 years ago. Hers is a little newer then mine, it has Windows Vista and a few upgrades. I would still consider them about the same in age.
Hers is in like PRISTINE condition, not a scratch, scrape, no wear and tear at all, ANYWHERE! Mine on the other hand, I mean I wouldn’t say it looks like it’s been through a war zone or anything. In my opinion, it has the normal amount of wear-and-tear for a laptop that has been used by a student for 4 years at university, just like hers… her opinion is that it’s been through hell, but I disagree.
OK, so I’ve had to replace the keyboard once because the keys were wearing down. There are a couple light wrist imprints on the right and left of the mouse pad. The top is a little scraped/scratched, but not badly, I‘ve used one of those neoprene cases. I’ve never dropped it or anything, but the screen definitely needs to be replaced. It has a nice big green line on the right side that runs all the way down. It doesn’t seem to bother me, I just watch movies or read documents to the left of the green line….. Uh yeah…
She on the other hand, never opens it roughly and it is always in a neoprene case. Her keys have never had to be replaced but she types like a mouse. She purchased InvisShield-like plastic protectors to place over the wrist area and mouse pad…. I think she’s a little paranoid, but whatever!
Finally, for my birthday she decided to get me a new laptop. I am going to school for another 4 years, so she thought it would be a great gift. Of course, she tried to get one that would suit my lifestyle - She got me a Panasonic, state-of-the-art Toughbook! Specifically, the Semi-Rugged Toughbook 52. This thing has magnesium alloy casing, in case I feel like dropping it off a building. A spill resistant keyboard and touchpad, which is great because I’ve spilled coffee on my laptop so many times I’m surprised it hasn’t taken a shit because of it, and a mounted quick-release hard drive. I do think that this laptop is a little extreme, and her idea of a funny joke, but you can actually get variants of the laptop to suit your needs. Ranging from business/everyday rugged, to out on the field in extreme weather conditions rugged.
Longevity of electronics is really important, especially if you intent to get use out of them for a long period of time. When you make an initial investment, be it a small one, or large one, you want your investment to keep giving in the long run. Be it you’re marketing a huge multi-million dollar corporate, or even a small home-based business, pixel advertising is a great option. It’s an extremely economical way to advertising, 1 block of pixels is only $200. You can’t even get a marketing plan written for you at that rate! It’s unique, pixel advertising has really captivated the internet audience’s attention. Most importantly, it has longevity. Through the maintenance makeaquick.com website your advertisement will always be displayed, you’re pixels are exclusively yours and your investment will keep on giving as a result.

The new iPod Shuffle might be small, but it PACKS a PUNCH!

Have you all seen the new Ipod shuffle? I was at 24 Hour Fitness yesterday and literally everyone has it already. The new iPod shuffle is jaw-droppingly small.

To create the world’s smallest music player, the controls from iPod shuffle moved to the earbud cord. This allowed the new iPod shuffle to be dramatically smaller, and easy to use.

The staff at makeaquick.com are enjoying a fabulous weekend getaway in LA. One of our associates was nice enough to bring us a bottle of EFFEN Vodka. Have you seen this stuff? Apparently it’s imported from Holland. It tastes absolutely delicious, smooth and crisp! It not only tastes fantastic, the design of the bottle is frikken cool - sort of like the makeaquick.com website and category features on www.makeaquick.com check them out! When you choose a category on the top of the nav bar, all of the associated ads will be brought into the spotlight and the rest will fade away… sort of like what happens after a couple vodka crans! Enjoy your weekend!
