Sometimes, if you want something, you just have to do it yourself. That’s the way Contagium’s Rob Butler came up with this weekend jam-packed with punk and hardcore music; he just wanted some live music to look forward to and didn’t want to wait around for it. “While there have been some good shows this summer, there hasn’t been anything that I’ve been really excited for,” says Butler, who channelled both his musician side, and his music supporter side, to put together a meaty lineup that’ll have people flocking to Gus’, and a north end house show (but, you’ll have to find that one on your own).
Friday July 29 and Saturday July 30, Gus’ Pub, 2605 Agricola Street, 10pm, $5, for more information check out the Facebook event
