Cushy Radio: Recent Episodes
CiTR & Discorder Magazine
Cushy Radio is a weekly show hosted by me, Aly Laube, the co-owner of Cushy Entertainment. Hello!
The purpose of Cushy is to uplift and amplify the voices of marginalized artists through event production and promotion — a mission dear to Aly's heart as well as her business partner's, Mati Cormier. They're both queer women who grew up in the local music scene, and together they try to throw the most inclusive, accessible, and fun parties possible.
Expect a different vibe every week! There will be three segments to every show

Cushy Entertainment is dedicated to standing with and listening to the Black community during this time of struggle and uprising. It is crucial that organizations like our own speak out about police brutality and murder of innocent Black people in Canada, the States and beyond. Our inbox is always open to anyone who needs support, has ideas for how we could improve, or wants to work with us. We recognize that we couldn't do our jobs today without the excellence and labour of the Black community throughout history and today. Cushy staff will stand with protestors in body and spirit. KNOW THEIR NAMES: George Floyd (Minneapolis) and Regis Porchinski-Paquet (Toronto). We give our thanks to everyone part of this effort to make the world a fairer and safer place. #blacklivesmatter #amplifymelanatedvoices

This week on Cushy Radio:
Who we're working with: Nobody because we are all in our homes!
What we're listening to:
This week, I dove back into some of the bands I loved in high school and my first few years of university and went on a nostalgia trip. A bunch of these songs come with more recent personal anecdotes, but there are some in there from my last year of high school — when I first started getting involved with the music scene — and before. I wanna hear your stories about whichever songs come with a memory for you, too! Send them to me at alaubefreelancing@gmail.com.
LOCAL:
ABROAD:
DEEP CUTS:
Queen Bee and the Buzzkills:
I was 18 and drunk off my ass at 333 when I found this band. I'm not exaggerating when I say they were the first female-fronted band I had EVER seen at that venue (this is before Club Sofa, Sleepy Gonzales, Necking and the like came on the scene) at that point in my life, so I remembered them. Also, I was still into Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World at the time and they totally scratched my Sex Bob-omb itch. It's driven, chugging garage rock with satisfying, shouty vocals and a little attitude. It's got some scrams in it and punk, too, but it's good shit.
They didn't stick around for long and never put out another record, but this one's a gem.
"Toothless Tigers" from Stalk To Me:
https://queenbeeandthebuzzkills.bandcamp.com/releases
This week on Cushy Radio:
Big goth vibes to get you through your /moody quarantine hours/ courtesy of Cushy's Aly Laube (me).
Who we're working with: No one... yet ;)
What we're listening to:
LOCALS - Faeria Zephyra / des hume / Kellarissa / Freak Dream / DEBBY FRIDAY / Wack
ABROAD - Quarterback / Sussy / Hunnah / Yves Tumor / Pelada
DEEP CUTS:
This album actually blew my socks off? Like, stop-what-you're-doing-and-listen kinda blew em off. It's a thing of beauty. One part punk, one part acid techno, dress the whole thing up w shouty spanish vocals = magic.
https://pelada.bandcamp.com/
This week on Cushy Radio:
STILL no upcoming shows... Thanks a lot COVID-19.
However we do have sweet jams, mostly local, as per usual. This time we got jazzy.
LOCAL: Jamie Lee Trio / David Blake / Jodi Proznick / Brad Turner Quartet / Seamus Blake / Booty EP / Blue Rivera / Stevie's Revenge
ABROAD: Apollo Suns (still Canadian tho) / Monster Rally / kelby's trashcan
DEEP CUTS:
One of my Soundcloud finds! What better sums up these times than weird, cute Animal Crossing inspired electronic music? We're all in this zone... welcome it with open arms.

Gabi Tome is a guitarist, artist, vocalist and composer based out of Montreal. They are a mixed race immigrant, as self-identified, and say they are "definitely not knew to playing in Van" — so who knows, you could be hearing them in the "who we're working with" segment soon. ;) Check out their music at https://open.spotify.com/album/3NuHE5pyS0Fs6wA43PMFKD?highlight=spotify:track:4BvO7wRttAVX0tTxOLebaK
