Doors at 8PM Music at 9 - 11 PM $5 at the door 19+ event HEAR HERE 08 FEATURES: -------------------------------------------------------------- GROUNDERS (Toronto, ON) "GROUNDERS have successfully sidestepped the dangers of local hype to actually hone in on something to call their own. It’s lush, melodic and charmingly idiosyncratic. Like an encounter with an eerily incandescent circus tent in the backwoods, [their new album] Wreck of a Smile is enchanting, steeped in sublime wonderment." http://groundersmusic.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------- OLD & WEIRD (Halifax, NS) "Old and Weird provides an off-kilter complement with narrative songs of young life. The music flows in the same fashion as the story contained in the lyrics; floating guitars and vocals held in place by a punching rhythm section." -Weird Canada http://oldandweird.bandcamp.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------- HALCYON (London, ON) Jordan Pearson from London's NEW ZEBRA KID (everyone's favorite 80's pop/electro act) is HALCYON. Get ready to dance. http://halcyonsongs.bandcamp.com/album/wont-cry-tonight http://silentshout.ca/2014/05/15/mp3-halcyon-wont-cry-tonight/ -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to the talented Adelle Rae Taylor for contributing to this month's poster.
