live in St. Catharines
I’d never been to S.C.E.N.E..
I say that with some trepidation, as it makes me look rather hopelessly detached from several things I consider very important. I've edited Punknews.org for over a decade, I do live in Niagara, and I do make an effort above and beyond the layperson to promote Niagara . As such, my continued and regular attendance of S.C.E.N.E., the St. Catharines Event For New Music Entertainment, should be a given.
Yet in its 16-year history I had yet to participate.
I have my reasons, mind you. When the Niagara independent music scene really started to get its act together I was away at university. I was not on hand to experience the rise of the Bedlam Society community and the shows they promoted. I was a few years too old for Alexisonfire when they broke and viewed them more than a bit of the misplaced disdain I leveled at much of the youth-oriented post-hardcore of the era. However, that covers maybe a five- or six-year span of S.C.E.N.E. history; for the rest I have no excuse. I’m a lazy sod, it seems.
I explained as much to Timur from local label IndoorShoes as we stood outside the L3 nightclub a few weeks ago. Kevin Seconds had just wrapped up his set and we were waiting for Dave Hause to take the stage. Point blank I asked Timur who I should see at S.C.E.N.E., because outside of the bands with an international presence like Cancer Bats, Silverstein, This Is Hell and the Flatliners, I didn't know what was going on in my own backyard.
Two weeks later, Tim’s list in hand I found myself sitting in one of my favourite brewpubs, the Merchant Ale House, waiting for the first band of the day. The Merch was cool and quiet, and the crowd small. It was a nice contrast from the controlled chaos of the Market Square, where attendees were lining up for wristbands and perusing band merch tables.
My S.C.E.N.E. experience began with a pint of Old Time Hockey Ale in my hand and a performance from a band with the most unfortunate (or brilliant) name imaginable. Pkew Pkew Pkew (gunshots) is a five-piece from Toronto. They launched into a set of poppy punk songs packed with more "whoa"s, handclaps and silly hooks then most other bands would dare. Tunes like “Stop Calling Us, Chief” and “Demille Bop” were infectious, free-form and irreverent. After fretting about having to dodge local metalcore bands all day the band set me at ease.

Next time, I may try the “Salt and Chili Pepper Prawns,” which the owners' son, Yanwei "Joey" Huang says is his favorite. Although I was curious about the “Cream Cheese Crab Meat Wonton,” we decided to start off with the “Assorted Appetizers.
Finally caught up with the fest's schedule I decided to scratch an itch, heading to the Red Hot Chili Pepper to watch the Schomberg Fair. I'ma sucker for gruff swamp blues played with reckless abandon, and the Toronto three-piece certainly gave it
