Rock
hasn't really been the same since DFS adopted
Nickelback's 'I Wanna Be A Rock Star' for their
ads, funking up their upholstery with lip-synching

into an exhibition of never-before-seen images
of the band - it's a start for those of us who
have missed out on Black Ice Tour tickets.
And if you fancy following that up with some

someone like us helping out: a little guiding voice
to everything that’s going on in town. Which is
why we were so pleased to discover Thrillist. Read
