Raygun bought me a bus ticket to attend Destiny Productions NYE 2003 at Viva Nightclub
Historic Events of March 2003
Ebombs made their second attempt at having an after hours in Barrie in 2003 at the Den Nightclub on the Friday and Saturday nights for a few weeks
Frantic After Effects -- An after hours event that the Ebombs squad attempted to throw and it only lasted a short time
Afterburner -- This after hours event started in the winter of 2003 and it ended in the spring due to slow attendance.
Let's read a historic posting from Tribe.ca
House DJ's Wanted Phase 2 Begins
Dj's Wanted!!!!
ebombs entertainment is now looking for dj's again who are looking to get some promo, exposure, or just good ole plain set times to play at a variety of ebombs events here in the Barrie area.
The last time we made such a post was in July of 2002, and we recieved a great deal of response and interest from those who weren't seeking mass cash payouts, but were looking for a new environment and a place to spin and gain exposure.
It has taken us 8 months to accomodate all those who emailed us for set times.
Aprox. 150 DJ's have come through the doors of frantic fridays to lay down sets of their choosing and no demo CD's were required.
Our statement last July 2002 was, anyone who wishes to come play can and will. I think we hit around 98% of those who had contacted me.
Many came up here for free, and many left here with gas money or atleast their expenses and drinks paid for. As we charge a maximum of $5 cover with a general cover of $3. This even includes the many headliners we have had.
Frantic fridays was established to accomodate the dj of all levels,
to provide a place for dj's to spin on a great sound system, and be surrounded by those of similar interests. In the past and in the present many promoters were the ones at risk for loosing money for attempting to promote the scene.
At this stage, as there has been a huge drop in the attendences in the whole spectrum of this industry or the past couple years, it is my conclusion that "cash hungry dj's" , " Coporate take over" and "sell out Promoters" were the reason behind this decrease in the electronic music culture.
Ebombs is trying to position itself in Barrie and hoefully soon in toronto, to attempt to rebuild and or to help those who wish to get this market back up to par without the aid of "large over paid dj's" but rather focus on our local scene at hand.
This means more support for local dj's and those who wish to help rebuild.
i encourage other promoter to follow suit to a certain degree, by simply giving others outside of yoru crew a chance to play and a chance for them to gain exposure. Many DJ 's are not looking for alot of money to play. They would just like the opportunity.
Right now Ebombs offers its decks to all those who desire set times. We are slowly expanding the barrie market through this concept.
EBOMBS ENTERTAINMENT CURRENTLY HAS:
Frantic (Fridays) - 9pm - 2:30 am weekly (Boileroom)
FRANTIC After Effects (Fridays) - 2 am - 8 am weekly ( The den)
Original SIn (Saturdays) 11:30pm - 1 am weekly (Boileroom, Roxx)
After Burner (Saturdays) 2 am - 8 am weekly (The den)
Set times for all these nights are available for all those who wish to get some play time.
More nights will be available soon in and around the toronto area.
So if your looking for play time.. EBOMBS HAS IT!

On May 31, 2003, This is Raygun's Final Remarks as Frantic Friays came to a close. The top 40 DJ has took over the boileroom until it was transformed into an Egyptian themed Roxx West the college season of 2003 - 04
It's All Gone
Hey, this is raygun from ebombs
Yeh we lost our friday night after almost 2 years.
I handed them a 40 pages proposel to make it even better, and they turned it down out of egotism.
No notice, and leaving me with a hatiras contract ,which i will honor as soon as we get our new venue.
It wasnt that the night was hurting, we had just changed format in teh main room and they didn;t see the potential of the plan i submited, so i quit my full time employment with them.
Two weeks ago, we lost another house night at FITZY's on mondays which lasted 6 years.
Then this week, Dv8 also lost its saturday night, so there really isn;t anything left in Barrie.
Im not sure if im going to hit up another club here, or wait until i can open my own. Im bounded by peoples lack of vision, and must do things for our selves.
I think its been long enough where promoters from all over the place get ripped off for trying to do things at clubs.
We shall see, in the mean time we are putting out a little magazine, nothing too fancy, and it will be affordable for all those you need to promote their endevours with minimal expense,
were not doing this one for profit, its mainly to help everyone
rebuild or aid or efforts in the scene which is slowly fading away, on all fronts.
SO if anyone out there wishes to get involved in writing or phototography etc, please contact me or adorable homeboy anytime.
Peace
Again my appologies for those whom were booked for the next 6 weeks.
It was out of my hands. believe me i tired.

The Ebombsquad is gone and never forgotten.
After the Ebombsquad vacated the Boileroom in May 2003, they threw a weekly at 905ive in Hamilton and Film Lounge in the fall of 2003.
