A Quick Look Back At The Bright Auras of Blue Light & Provincial Parcs

Geary Art Crawl 2024 is almost upon us!

To celebrate, we’re looking back at some of the epic performances from 2023, which were expertly live-streamed on the day by the brilliant people at Onaire.

You can watch the full sets from our very own Provincial Parcs (here) plus Blue Light (here) to relive these amazing performances.

We’ve also cut together a shorter, more bitesize video (link at top or here), if you don’t have time to relive the full 1hr 30mins run time!!

... oh and just when you thought you couldn't be any more excited, this isn’t the last you’ll be hearing of Provincial Parcs and Blue Light because we're working closely with both of them behind-the-scenes on some very special new stuff.

More on that soon! But for now... join us this Saturday from 1-8pm at Toronto's Bodyshop Studios on Geary Ave, for live performances from Animal Party, Forming and GAG. Learn more here and notify us if you plan to attend (only if you want to).

We can’t wait to see your beautiful smiling faces!

ANIMAL PARTY + FORMING + GAG = GEARY ART CRAWL 2024

We're delighted to be back again for our fourth year of music curation as part of Geary Art Crawl!

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.

Animal Party Live from Safe Sounds

Animal Party came and recorded a live session with us last year, and today is the day we finally share it with you all!

The project of experimental electronic solo artist Sinéad Rua, this twelve minute music extravaganza also features accompaniment by Paul Geldart on drums. Animal Party is a wonder on harp - it must be seen to be believed.

Watch it now!

It really was a pleasure to experience this live in the room - Animal Party are so awesome at what they do and to be able to capture it in such fidelity is highly satisfying. The result is jaw droppingly beautiful.

And what about these 35mm shots from the session taken by Desiree Das Gupta...

The live session was recorded by Bill Cutbill and Idious Carrie inside the Safe Sounds bank vault.

When you watch the video, you may notice that this was filmed in November 2022. That is correct, so perhaps a moment to explain why it took so long for us to release this work of art...

Well, we're currently running this operation without funding, which means it really is a labour of love.

We like to be ambitious and when it comes to recording sessions if you look at the timestamps you'll notice that this one, Pretty and Deanna Petcoff were all recorded three days straight.

That certainly made us realise how much work it is to create this content from beginning to end, because it's easy to underestimate how much time it takes to mix, edit and properly release that number of videos!

And whilst we have been inundated with interest from a whole bunch of super talented bands and artists who want to do a live session with Safe Sounds, we just wanted to take a moment to thank them for their interest but to also place on record that we will not be filming any new live sessions now until at least the middle of next year.

Hopefully we can get some funding to run this as a more regular thing - keep your fingers crossed for us!

That said, don't you worry - we've got more live sessions in the can that we will be releasing in the coming months. ;) So make sure you go subscribe to our YouTube Channel!

But yes, this is all about community. We hope by capturing magical musical moments like this from Animal Party that we're impacting our local scene in a positive manner.

Go and enjoy them further on Bandcamp or Spotify.
