Hardstock 08 -a special benefit for Scott Harding


On Feb 16 2008 at about 3 am, Scott Harding was seriously injured in a hit and run collision in NYC. He has no health insurance. He is a musician, artist and friend. 100% of the net proceeds from this show went to help him.

Hardstock 08 featured the cream of Vancouver musicians from the last 30 years.

This benefit show took place April 25 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC. It was historic. It was glorious. The rock was pushed up the hill, the pink elephant in the room was given free booze; and pigs did fly.
Headlining was a super group created for the occasion called The Hard Ones, featuring (in alphabetical order) Barney Bentall, Doug Elliot, Paul Hyde, Colin James, Simon Kendall, Colin Nairne, Craig Northey, Pat Steward...Neil Osborne, Brad Merritt and Dave Genn (from 54/40), Tom Harrison, Ra McGuire and Smitty from Trooper; The Pointed Sticks; The Jazzmanian Devils; John Mann from Spirit of the West with his son Harlan Mann; Bughouse 5; Kinnie Starr; Hardrock Miners; the Furies; I Braineater; Go Four 3, Swank and the Mike Webster band.
The show was opened by Mayor Sam Sullivan. All told we raised almost $25,000. Not bad for a 3 week promotion when they said it could not be done.
Next up.............Holy Hardstock!!! - a 3 ring circus in a Cathedral on June 13. This is a sit down family event. Bring the kids and Mom, Dad, and Grandparents. After all, Hardstock is all about people pulling together to help out.

Dave "Rave" Ogilvie in the House- the latest Hard One

Dave "Rave" Ogilvie started his recording career in Vancouver working as an engineer at Mushroom Studios. His first production was the critically acclaimed "Green Record" for 54-40, and soon after Dave was producing and mixing albums for a number of Canadian artists including The Grapes Of Wrath, Moev and The Doughboys.
Ultimately it was Dave's production work with “industrial” pioneers Skinny Puppy that earned him international recognition. Dave was often considered the band's fourth member, co-writing and playing guitar in addition to his production duties. He produced, engineered and mixed nine critically acclaimed albums and ten 12" singles for the band, breaking new ground in the industrial genre.
Dave's ability to fuse Skinny Puppy’s signature sound of industrial, goth and electronic music brought him to the attention of Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails with whom he’s worked since 1994’s “March Of The Pigs” singles remix album. After forming his own label, Nothing Records, Trent selected Dave to co-produce Marilyn Manson's “Antichrist Superstar” which sold over one million copies.
Dave has gone on to produce, mix and/or re-mix tracks for such artists as David Bowie, Orgy,Motley Crue, Spineshank, Skindive, Love Inc., Serial Joe, Copyright, Sloan and N.E.R.D.
