Hollowfest 2021 gets started at 7PM today, Friday 10th September and will run until the end of Sunday 12th! So many great acts packed across 3 days.

Kali Horse, who you may know from the Safe Sounds Sessions, perform today at 9PM. Our very own Bill Cutbill will open Saturday at 3PM performing AMAZONAS (the live band features Idious Carrie on Bongos and Quentin Mitchell on synthesizers).

Tickets will be available on the door. All details at hollowfest.com!

It still feels odd to be saying this, but this weekend, Bill Cutbill and the Schmoozy Lighters will be performing AMAZONAS live, in public, in person, at Houndstooth on College Street, Toronto.

YES. This Sunday 4th July, Houndstooth is holding the Tropi-Americana Extravaganza day event from 1pm-8pm.

"What is that?" I hear you rejoice?!

Well, it runs from 1-8pm. Bill Cutbill and the Schmoozy Lighters (Quentin Mitchell & Idious Carrie) will perform two different sets at approximately 4/5 or 5/6 pm. There will be an interval between the two halves, kinda like a swanky theatre performance, just without the red velvet curtains.

What else is happening as part of this wonder event?

ULTRA will be holding a pop-up selling all kinds of awesome goodies!

Collective Arts sponsored BBQ will keep your bellies full!

Hot dog eating contest hosted by Steve Goodtime.

Vinyl will be spun by Plastic Fantastic... and there's a party w/ love supreme.

Come out and bring the weather/good vibes with you. We all need it and Bill and the Schmoozies can't wait to perform for you.

Also, we're gonna be shouting about this more, but at the event you'll get a chance to pre-order AMAZONAS on vinyl... yes, AMAZONAS is coming to vinyl. If you choose to pre-order there are some exclusive goodies for you and free delivery within Toronto, so yeah, come down and commit to the bit.

PEACE xx

Your favourite androgynous duo, Kali Horse, is performing as part of Wavelength Winter Festival this Friday at 8pm EST.

The show will represent their first performance of the year! The multi-camera extravaganza was filmed live from the Safe Sounds bank vault with sound and editing by our very own Bill Cutbill.

If you want to learn more about Kali Horse, formerly known as Kaleidoscope Horse, Wavelength have published a great interview with the group —

“Our first album, Slow Slow is all about being in a dream state, and this next album is, you’re very much awake and very conscious of the choices you make and the guilt you carry,” Maloney says. “‘Anima’ is the wake-up call to go into that.”

Read the full interview here and make sure you tune in this Friday at 8pm to see the live session via the Wavelength YouTube Channel.

Oh and if you can't wait, why not take a look back at our last session with Kaleidoscope Horse from the Safe Sounds lounge here.

To celebrate the release of the Stick It To 'Em Vol. 2 compilation, Glue Gun Records will be holding a very special live stream listening party via their YouTube channel this Friday 11th December.

The compilation features a diverse range of artists, some of whom you'll already be familiar with such as World News and Kaleidoscope Horse.

The pre-show kicks off at 7.30PM EST, with the main show commencing at 8PM.

Check out the Facebook event for more info and don't forget to listen to the compilation in the mean time via Bandcamp.

We're excited that World News will be performing a live stream as part of Wavestream: Wavelength + Music Together Livestream Festival on Saturday, May 2!

Ten artists back to back beginning at 5pm, including DJ Shub, The Weather Station, Allie, World News, MADDEE, SATE, WILL, Beatchild & The Slakadeliqs, Michael Peter Olsen - The ECello Page and Gurpreet Chana!

Set yourself a reminder, it's going to be big.
