Team Willow is taking the next logical step in co-habitation. No, the roommates of 6015 Willow Street in Halifax are not getting married…they are releasing an action-packed DVD that will capture a portion of the local music scene like never before. Considering the talent that has passed through that place (Paul Hammond, Michael Catano, Jeff Parker, Mark Black, Greg Boone, and Stephan MacLeod for starters) and the various connections to the TV/Film world, this should be an amazing performance film. It features 20 bands playing in various rooms of the Willow Street household over August 24-26, 2007. No release information is available as of now, but here are some behind the scenes photos (and a breakdown by day 1, 2, & 3).

The bands showcased in this ambitious project include The Stolen Minks, Die Brücke, The Medium Mood, The Holy Shroud, The Got To Get Got, The Memories Attack, A History Of, Dog Day, Play Guitar, The Hold, Prisoners, North Of America, The Hold, Ov Gramme, The Just Barelys, Tomcat Combat, The Maynards, The Superfantastics, Windom Earle, Take On Me, and VKNGS. I promise to pass on more info as it becomes available.

Speaking of DVDs, the cover for the upcoming B.A. Johnson 2-day live at Gus’ pub spectacular This Is What 110% Smells Like (trailer) has hit the net. Take a look at the madness:
