We can't wait for Project Nowhere music festival to return to Toronto's West End this weekend for its fourth yeah (Thurs 1st to Sat 3rd October).

That's right, the best local and international bands are coming through the city imminently. This community focussed festival also offers all kinds of goodies scattered across the weekend which you can learn about on their app (iOS or Android).

In the past, the festival has featured a number of our artists (and those we have hosted in the bank vault) including Theo Vandenhoff, Animatist, Not A Band, Breeze, Pretty and more!

For a flavour of what to expect at the festival, check our Bill Cutbill's Gonzo Review of the 2025 festivities here. It's a fun read.

This year, the lineup includes World News (AKA World News 808909) who will be celebrating 1 year to the day that they released their debut album ON STEROIDS. Jay Feelbender, who did a live session with us eons ago is also a part of the interstellar lineup.

You can check out the music via their curated 2026 festival playlist here.

Idious Carrie is performing a rare solo show tonight, Jan 28th, at Burdock Music Hall in Toronto!

She'll be found supporting, Huxlii, which is the solo project of Sabrina who you may also know as part of Tange and Luna Li. The new EP "odds and ends but mostly ends" is out now. Additional support will come from Northey.

This one's almost sold out so be sure to grab one of the last few remaining tickets here to avoid disappointment.

To celebrate, Idious Carrie will have some limited edition Safe Sounds cassettes that have just been duped for 2021's double-A "O".

Yes it's the first time that this has ever been on cassette and each side features both the original single and a new mix revealing some of the complex layers from Nine Lives and The World As A Loose Garment.

Grab one of those at the show and we'll see ya there, okay?!

For 2024, we're over the moon to have booked three Toronto groups with so much passion, so much energy, so much pizzazz, that you'll be crawling gleefully away from Body Shop Studios after the show.

What's more, it's FREE! So bring that good vibe energy and come enjoy some time in that end of summer sun.

Saturday 21st September 4-8PM
ANIMAL PARTY + FORMING + GAG
Location: Body Shop Studios, 302 Geary Ave, Toronto

4PM ANIMAL PARTY –

We hosted Animal Party for a live session in the Safe Sounds bank vault (watch the live video) and we can't wait to feel the energy they bring to the Art Crawl.

5PM FORMING

The independent artistic product of Danny Alexander (Not a Band, Secret Sign) and Darryn Doull (formerly Ellen Bolthe, Kobra Kobra). The project stems from the serendipitous coming together of parallel electronic instrumentation explorations and is framed by the gritty residue of youth spent amongst the winds and rivers of Chemical Valley.

6PM GAG

If you want to learn more about GAG, words won't do any good, you just gotta come to the show.

We look forward to seeing your bobbing heads and smiling faces. For updates of to tell us you're coming, go to the Facebook Event page.
