It's been called Winnipegs CBGB's and I couldn't agree more. An
institution in
Winnipegs alternative music and subculture, among the acts it's
hosted are Misfits, Gaye Bykers on Acid, Husker Du, Venetian Snares,
and Exalted (ahem).
Apparently Christina Ricci enjoyed a glass there once (Bloody Hell,
where the
F*** was I?) Anyway, It's seen everything from the Noise Terrorism
of Nagasaki
Fondue to Hip Hop acts(which I can't think of one off hand), legendary
for it's live music as well as it's Thursday Draft Nights (God Help
You).
Ozzy's - Where the Ball holds its regular Fetish &
Bondage gatherings, and where we currently have our Goth/Industrial
Night with DJ Raytch Aytch hosting a special edition Industrial
Themed evening every last saturday of the month . You'll find it
Downstairs at The Zoo on 160 Osborne.
The Zoo
Same building as Ozzy's, except that it's the UPSTAIRS bar. Although
more typically a Rocker joint, it has held court to industrial punk/
metal such as Left Spine Down, The Rabid Whole, Nocturnal Divinity,
and (the goth metal band I was in) Exalted played a number of shows
there as well. For information, visit: http://www.myspace.com/osbornevillageinnofficial

Temptation - Friday, Nov 26, 2005. We are sad to inform that Temptation has come to an end. Our good friend , The Scarlet Whore of Babylon has found promising work in her chosen field in BC and as such can no longer host the Temptation Hour. There may be a couple of pre-taped shows left in the station, but it's come to an end. I'm in discussion with her to let her DJ a set on our Fridays at Die Maschine when she's in town which will be wonderful. Good Luck to you, Cindy Luv!!! We'll miss your show!!!
Shop Worn Angel - Wednesdays, 10pm to midnight. 95.9 FM on CKUW. It features electronic/ experimental music. Moody, melancholy and beautiful.
Wild Mood Swings - Wednesdays, 12 am to 2am on CKUW, 95.9 FM.
Broadcasting from the University of Winnipegs Radio Station, and hosted by local
musical artist, Vigoramity, it features Industrial, New Wave & Metal.
Everything's gone grey - There is a Sunday radio show hosted by Local
Musical Artist "Razed In A New Division of Agony" for NewOrderOnline. the first
three shows will play cover versions of various songs, the fourth and fifth is
playing various tracks promoting the Community 2 CD which he's in the process
of trying to get on. The sixth will just be whatever he feels like.
Trepanation - Hosted by Dj Kohr-ah (who, along with
Red Monkey, also run the "Involuntary Confinement" events) this show is Winnipegs last great
bastion for Electro/Industrial fans. 2am-4am on friday on 95.9 FM CKUW, the genre is EBM, Industrial, and Noise.

Established in July 1, 1995, this shop is located in The Village
same as Ozzys & Wild Planet. Inspired by independent record
shops, comic book stores and the old school "head shops"
of the seventies and eighties, the shop strives to become a complete
"Kulture" store by incorporating all these influences
and has evolved into an eclectic mix of fashion, literature, art,
and smoking gear. You find the coolest Art Books, subversive literature
& Calendars in this place!

Also a cool place to get bongs and lighters. It's owned and operated
by Roman Panchyshyn who some might remember as the guy who ran Impulse
Records way back when (as well as Love Bomb). Along with Mike Lambert
and Frank Cueipect, this is the guy who brought THE CURE to Wellingtons
in 1982. The Scene owes a great deal of debt to this Man. More about
him in the History Section soon.
Owned and operated by my friend Maggie (to whom I apologize profusely
for not having added
her to this list sooner), this shop features apparel ranging from
structured everyday wear
to floaty designs. The brands included here are Nougat and Anna
Sui, and you'll find shoes
and boots by John Fluevog, and bags by Jeanne Lottie and jewellery.
