LUCAS ABELA aka JUSTICE YELDHAM (bandcamp)
Australian maverick experimentalist Lucas Abela (Dual Plover) returns to Toronto for the first time in almost 20 years. Easily be one of the most captivating, ecstatic & intense performers around. Abela creates dynamic noise compositions on an amplified piece of glass driven through effects reacting to liquid & pressure. Going from shrill shrieks to wobbling synth like tones to abrasive guitar shred territory, his control is uncanny. He plays broken glass like Keiji Haino, Bill Orcutt or even Hendrix approach the guitar. Layered modulation lets the Coltrane-esque cries mimic and dance with themselves as Abela coaxes a versatile sonic array from the glass pane. New collaborative 7" with Zach Hill (Death Grips) out for this tour! Don't miss this rare performance by an avant garde legend!
BRIAN RURYK (bandcamp)
Toronto avant garde anti-legend Brian Ruryk is easily one of the city's best kept secrets, Ruryk has been manipulating the concepts of sound since the 80s. Free jangled guitar notes spray over a live collage of junk percussion & chaos. Tape samples squeal out amongst herky jerky clatter of Ruryk’s eclectic set up. Much like the coming together of puzzle pieces in a way in which they do not fit, then experiencing the process in which the puzzler, instead of sorting the pieces, just cuts & mangles them to create a new image.
DEPRIVATION TACTICS (bandcamp)
AC's (Holy Grinder) solo harsh noise project drops you into the sonic hellscape of some multiplayer first person shooter where no one has the patience or skill to headshot, but instead is just shooting as fast as possible. Grizzly distortion rattles underneath the sound of incessant curdled lazer blasts. Caustic electronic wall noise pepper with dynamic blasts, broken treble leaks from crunching bass gurgles.
MIRA MARTIN-GRAY (bandcamp)
Electronic experimenter & improvisor Mira Martin-Gray creates haunting & dynamic soundscapes with no-input mixer, synth, and electro-acoustic elements. Mira's musical output varies from avant songs to electronic noise full of flitting harsh blips and bloops, stuck in the sonic aspic with held over tones that waver and then melt away. Sounding like some NES motorcycle on its last legs but still ripping it, Mira smacks skronked out electronic busted muffler music into a brick wall until the game is over. Come on time to check the glitch!

STILL HOUSE PLANTS (bandcamp)
UK angular weird punk trio of Jessica Hickie-Kallenbach (voice), Finlay Clark (guitar), and David Kennedy (drums) return to Toronto behind their new album "If I don't make it, I love u". Guitar jabs break apart into forlorn melodies barely held together, as raw vocals drip over them. Languid drum beats speed and slow as if running through mud and finally slipping free. Minimalistic guitar patterns hold a dub energy as they circle back on themselves. Straight up bare bones punk energy swells in these chopped song structures that feel fastened together with twine and fumes of wayward adrenaline. Still House Plants finds beauty & soul in fractured forms, seamlessly understated vocal reach and their herky jerky flourishes. Believe the hype!
ONLY GOD FORGIVES (bandcamp)
Toronto herky jerky punk crew Only God Forgives thrives on distorted grooves and riffs that jangle. Bass lines bounce and roll forward under rhythmic guitar fuzz. Sentimental guitar jams merge into vibrant punk rippers that are full of playful energy. Never a moment lost as the band switches gears. Careful placed guitar notes find their way through whatever the band is up to, accenting the speeding rhythms or meandering melodies. Check the vibe!
