Within a community, if you're lucky, there may exist a person who puts forth their passion for cultivating creativity with everything they do. This person will take the initiative to uplift those around them and they will feel fulfilled by seeing those around them achieve their potential. We lost one of these people suddenly this past weekend, and we are all deeply shaken.
Though our zFAM has lost one of our most enthusiastic, passionate, creative and selfless members, the impact that the life of Nick Gergesha has on us will continue to be felt and lived through us all.
Our hearts go out to Maddi, Cole, Issac, Peter, Michael and Nick's family at this time.
This SATURDAY, MAY 16TH, join us for an amazing in-store featuring TWO of Ontario’s greatest up-and-coming bands.
You don't want to miss SERMON (Kitchener, zBTFD Records) -- their live set is unbelievable, and YES we will have dual drummers on the zBTFD stage!
Plus you'll have a chance to support SERMON directly by buying their NEW VINYL and NEW MERCH from them!
Closeout (London, ON) are the dreamiest kind of shoegaze, post-post, and super talented.
We can't wait to host these awesome humans!!
