Memories of Frantic Fridays

What was Frantic Fridays?

Frantic Fridays was a classic weekly party series in the Boileroom.  The Djs that spun there included Unknown, Capital Vinyl (Flatline), Tega Tech, Vertigo, Lady Bass, Max Sholtz - Club 246 Radio.com, Raygun, and many more to be listed.

When did Raygun throw this party series?

The series started in early, 2001 and ran until 2002.

In the summer of 2003, the boileroom has underwent a renovation.  Raygun and the Ebomsquad moved their events to 905ive in Hamilton for awhile.  Later in 2004, The Ebombsquad held a weekly series at Film Lounge.
