CITIZENRY Live from Safe Sounds with Never Before Heard Music
Holy moly, it's been a little while since our last bank vault session when Not A Band paid us a visit.
We're so, soooo pleased to put that right with the release of our first track from the CITIZENRY sessions! These were filmed in our disused bank vault way back in March, supporting CITIZENRY's debut self-titled album which arrived earlier this year digitally and via limited edition cassette that have all but since sold out.
The solo project of Mike Wallace, the enigmatic drummer for the likes of Preoccupations, Odonis Odonis, Women, Bloodslide and more, we start by sharing 'Instrumental' where Wallace uses sensory percussion via drum triggers to perform an improvised solo.
This music has never been heard before... we're privileged to bring it to you! Watch in full now via our YouTube channel.
As a small team working on Safe Sounds in our spare time, we're so hyped by Mike and the quality of this music. Filming with a full drum kit in the bank vault is always awesome; the concrete walls bounce that sound around so hard, ear protection is a must when you're inside there filming.
Have you listened to CITIZENRY's debut album yet? Well you won't find the whole thing on Spotify or streaming because, as we're all finding out more and more, those evil war mongering twerps don't deserve your money. The good news is, the album is available to listen (and buy if you want to show your gratitude directly to Wallace) via the CITIZENRY bandcamp.
Watch this space because we've got new CITIZENRY live bangers coming once a week now for the month!! We warned ya.
Thanks again for your never ending support.
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.
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.
