SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD @ The Garrison (1197 Dundas St. West) - 9pm - $15/$20
WOLF EYES with MARK MORGAN (http://www.wolfeyes.net)
Detroit noise cum trip metal unit Wolf Eyes touch down in Toronto to drip some of their psycho-jazz slow burners with special guest NYC guitartist Mark Morgan (Sightings). Wasted guitar jams meander amoungst crippled electronics. Layers of distortion give blistered songs a new meaning, as maligned vocals crawl through the thick air. Foreboding sparsity creates spiritual unrest. Languid sax shreds like the sound track to some lost Twin Peaks episode. Gnarled psych riffage curls back on itself. These contemporary experimental noise pioneers have collaborated with Anthony Braxton, Merzbow, Sonic Youth, Richard Pinhas, John Wiese and loads more in their search for new sonic mutations. Their current trio with revered noise guitarist Mark Morgan marks another in a series of special collaborations the ever evolving form of Wolf Eyes. A not to be missed mind destruction unit.
RETIRED (https://retired1.bandcamp.com)
Toronto free form punk jazz wanderers Retired bring dark eerie forbidding sonic meanderings to life with Percussive movements that cruise seamlessly through ominous bass tones. Guitar growls unhinged, as saxophone splutters a bitter syrup. Like a junkyard creation slowly breaking apart as it races towards an impending destruction that will never come. Becoming more haunting & mangled as it evolves from one form to another. The swing of jazz emanates from what is more like some lost kraut jam.

FRIDAY, MARCH 1ST @ The Jam Factory (2 Matilda St.) - 8:30pm - $20/$25 - All Ages
MARC RIBOT (http://marcribot.com/)
NYC guitar maverick Marc Ribot performs a rare solo set in Toronto. Ribot's legacy has seen him collaborate with Tom Waits, John Zorn, Elvis Costello & a plethora of others. His numerous diverse bands and ensemble projects, plus seven solo releases have worked to define him as one of the most unique and versatile voices on the guitar. From no wave, re-imagined blues, free improvisation, and avant jazz to contemporary composition Ribot moves from one mood to another with careful continuity. Intricate notes float off his strings with a natural abandon. His solo performances see him swim through the menagerie style and genres he's touched on through out his decades of exploration in the avant guitar world.
KEE AVIL (https://keeavil.bandcamp.com/)
Montreal experimental guitarist Vicky Mettler creates mutant compositions from looped guitar noise, angular melodies, creeping vocals and grumbling electronics. Her vocals whisper to rhythmic guitar notes, haunted textures ripple out from her guitar strings. Kee Avil sees Mettler's captivating compositions constructed out of what feels like bits of sonic refuse come to life. A beautiful and dazzling work of assemblage. If you haven't seen Kee Avil her live performance is not to be missed!
