HALF A DINO

Today marked the launch of the second installment in Half a Dino & apk live’s latest collaborative project - ‘DINO BOOTS: an apk live bootleg series.’
DINO BOOTS is our monthly four-track series featuring touring and local artists; the tracks are all recorded live off the floor, and available for FREE stream at halfadino.bandcamp.com.
DINO BOOTS uncovers choice performances at the apk live for both those who made it to the shows, and those who may have missed them. This strictly promotional series is also aimed at engaging a new audience, one that may have been previously unaware of Half a Dino and apk live’s amazing shows.
The second installment of DINO BOOTS (DB002) features artists who performed at apk live in April 2012.  This month’s collection includes bootlegged live performances from:           
            Cousins (Halfiax)
            Deep Dark Woods (Saskatoon)
            BA Johnston (Hamilton)
            Japanther (Brooklyn)
This collection of diverse music from across the continent is a great sample of some of the amazing acts we had here in April, it was one of our best months yet! We have a ton more awesome acts coming up in May & June; including, but not limited to, PS I Love You, Zeus, & Young Rival.To listen to dino boots, click the link at the top of this page, or here.
