Among everything else that happened this month (David Myles turning a funky new page, one of New Brunswick’s longstanding craft breweries going up for sale, Matt Steele admitting to a professional narcoleptic habit, and more), something funny happened. The East took home two East Coast Music Awards (read: they’re in the mail) in the categories of Media Outlet of the Year and Media Person of the Year. We’re pleased as punch and honoured to be the recipients of these awards.
But enough about us! Here is everything we covered in June of 2021.
