Toronto electronic hardware duo, World News have just announced two shows. That's right, they're scheduled to flood Toronto's Handlebar and Sarnia's Maud's Variety with cavernous synthesized sound in just a few weeks.

Not only that, but there's a plethora of incredible talent performing alongside them... and perhaps more importantly there is a hardware focus with all the acts. Get ready for big saws, envelopes, knob twiddling and spooky vocals all around.

TORONTO: Saturday January 21st 2023
w/ MOONBEAN and Erin Corbett

SARNIA: Friday January 27th 2023
w/ GUCC

Erin Corbett is a non-binary experimental musician that makes incredible decomposing and abstract electronic soundscapes with infectious stuttering grooves.

MOONBEAN is a queer Toronto-based artist, just back from an epic European tour! Led by Katy, expect a glittering hardware performance with big hooks and melodies, but watch out for the dancing caped crusader.

GUCC are Sarnia's premier synth and electronic group, making fun and funky, often humorous music. Who knows, perhaps Bill will be there to sing a little wrestling dittie for the first time ever (check here if this tickles your fancy)?

And then of course, there's World News. What can we say about those guys... the picture below says it all. This will be the second show with all new music, all new synthesizers, and an all new lineup.

So yah, see you in the mosh pit.

We are delighted to share RUM DO's new single No Worries with the world.

You won't want to miss this funky track, which features Harry Perry's most infectious bass-line ever, brought about from a first time collaboration with epic drummer Bradley Thibodeau (of Possum and Ready The Prince).

No Worries is the debut single from RUM DO's third EP — You Just Have To Be [SS118], which will be trickling to you track by track until its full release in April 2023.

Talking about the origins of the single, Bill Cutbill of RUM DO said —

"When writing the lyrics for No Worries I was very consciously trying to channel something which threw away my normal melancholy outlook and focused more on the positives.

"During the pandemic, I was searching for an inner sense of peace by meditating musically on the thought of it; what that might feel like and sound like. These were the bones on which the track was built.

"It was fantastic to work with Brad because he added an infectious shuffle that immediately gave it more purpose rhythmically. I really hope listening to No Worries also fires off some serotonin in your brain because for me it really does emit a feeling of warmth, peace and relaxation!"

Listen on Spotify now and make sure you follow RUM DO so that the lords and ladies in the emerald Spotify castle know to inform you every time there's a new track out! We appreciate your support.

Rob Nicholls, AKA Provincial Parcs, was broadcast last week on one of our favourite local shows - The Go Go Radio Magic Show!

During the hour-long segment they dive into Nicholls’ history growing up in a small town on Vancouver Island, his move to the main land and then eventually relocating to Toronto.

Listen here.

Music played a major role in Nicholl’s personal development and that has influenced his work as a painter. It's a great interview with some fantastic musical interjections so check out their website now.

Also, now is a great time to congratulate the GGRMS team on their new label, Little Village Records.

The clock is ticking, a white rabbit just flew by, and now is your chance to follow... that's right, we're just a few days away from our smashing electronic music lineup this Thursday at Bar Orwell.

Now is the time to grab a ticket if you're able to make the Mad Hatter's tea party!

On show will be World News, a Toronto electronic music duo performing with all hardware. We also have the incredible Provincial Parcs and Blue Light. Expect projections and a 360° surround audience experience under the mirror ball.
