How It Went Down: March 25, 2011

Well my scheduled interview with The City Streets didn't happen (it was supposed to be with the band calling in from the road, so there may have been some cellphone reception issues...), but I did talk to UK electronic artist Adham Fisher (aka AFS) and Daniel Lee of Hooded Fang (who are opening for Rural Alberta Advantage this week).
