I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle Hunt, creator of the fabulous Martini Club!She put me onto the amazing Dusk Martini: 360 Eco Luxury Vodka stirred with white creme de cacao, served icy cold and sprinkled with shaved Dove Dusk Chocolate!

Tona ‘Fast Pace’ feat. Saukrates & T.R.A.C.K.S.
This Canadian MC from Toronto represents for the disenfranchized youth of the Chester Le housing community; a low income housing complex in Scarborough, Ontario. When he first got onto the rap scene it was in a rap group called YOUNG N.A.P.P.S., consisting of other local artists from his old neighbourhood. The name Tona came about because of his distinctive tone of voice, but he always use to compare his lifestyle at one point to the Daytona 500, so he incorporated the two (although he recently changed his name from Daetona to Tona due to fans confusing him with Black Jays affiliate Daytona from the Bronx).Tona’s newest song ‘Fast Pace’ feat. Saukrates & T.R.A.C.K.S. is the 2nd single from the newly released, Direct Deposit LP.
Watch the video for ‘MAJOR’ from the Direct Deposit album:
Direct Deposit is the collaboration album between Tona & Lyve. The project is available on iTunes/Amazon & in stores across Canada now!

☮ Our Lady Peace ☮
OUR LADY PEACE SET TO RELEASE THEIR 7TH STUDIO ALBUM, BURN BURN IN CANADA AND THE U.S. ON JULY 21ST:
Burn Burn marks the first studio album from Our Lady Peace since 2005 and is a return to the hard driving rock songs the band displayed on their breakthrough debut release, Naveed. As Raine explains, “We’ve come full circle and the music is just stripped down, full of raw energy. It feels like a proper rock record again.”
The video for the first single “All You Did Was Save My Life” features 90210 star Shenae Grimes (pictured to the right) view it here.Self-produced in lead singer Raine Maida’s Los Angeles home studio, the 10-track Burn Burn (in stores July 21), marks the longest period between studio albums for Our Lady Peace. It also signifies a sonic and philosophical rebirth. The band now enjoys a creative and professional freedom that they haven’t experienced since the release of their now classic debut.
“I think about the way we made Naveed,” Maida recalls. “We were just starting, we knew nothing about the business and we had no expectations. It was four guys in a room just trusting their instincts. We went back to that. ‘Liberating’ doesn’t really even sum it up.”OLP will hit the road across North America in support of the release this summer. Several Canadian dates have already been announced and more details on touring plans can befound at:
