WAVELENGTH: FOR POSTERITY AND MORE.

Poster by Derek Ma

It's that time of the year: Wavelength Anniversary time! 5 nights, 5 venues, 22 bands. My band (as well as Dennis' band) help kick off night number 1 this Wednesday at The Boat - details here. Wavelength have some other programming in store too - studio sessions, a speaker series, and their first ever poster show!

Details from the site:

Wavelength: For Posterity
Poster artwork from the Wavelength music series 2000-2010
Music Gallery — Fellowship Room — 197 John St.
Open during concert hours — Feb. 17 to April 3

Wavelength has been an important point of interface between the indie and experimental/new music scenes since its early days, when Michael Snow first screened his 1986 film of the same name alongside a program of local improvisers — music then rarely heard in a club environment. Since 2003, Wavelength has presented one night of its annual, multi-night February anniversary Festivals at the Music Gallery, Toronto’s Centre for Creative Music.

Poster artwork has been a key element in the Wavelength identity, especially around the anniversaries. This exhibition displays some of the most memorable promotional posters of the series’ first decade. Contributing artists include: Seripop, The Complaint Department, Trip Print Press, Deadweight and Derek Ma.

WE USED TO WAIT.

I recently picked up the new Arcade Fire record, and it reminded me of how much I like their past two records (Neon Bible in particular). The artwork is really fantastic on this one, and The Suburbs and Ready To Start have both been stuck in my head for days. Songs I didn't love on the first listen have all grown on me with subsequent listens. I particularily adore records with re-occurring lyrical themes and this one doesn't dissapoint. D always jokes about how much I love over the top, dramatic things in general. Win's warbley, whispery, slightly panicked voice and all the musical ups and downs in this case. So many feelings he likes to say.

(PONY DA ) LOOK NO FURTHER.





Pony Da Look - definitely one of my favourite local bands.
Unabashedly dramatic, expressive, interesting music. LOVE.

Leaving for a week long adventure to New York tomorrow.
Gonna miss this little black and white brat, but otherwise I can't wait to get outta here!
Enjoy the long weekend fellow Canadians.
