Sunday Afternoon Drones, Vol. 1

Evans

April 5th, 3-11pm – PWYC
Cagibi, 5490 St-Laurent
Montreal, QC

The idea is to take the concept of weekend loft punk matinée shows into the context of drone-ambient experimental music in a café, on a bright sunny/rainy sunday afternoon. It will also give the opportunity to some of these artists to play a proper and maybe quieter afternoon drone-oriented set (as they wish), instead of their regular outputs. For the first edition, we will showcase 11 artists/acts including 9 from Montreal:

* Anti-School Year (Montreal)
Organ Drones

* Aun (Montreal, Alien8/Oral)
Black Drones

* Cloudscapes (Montreal)
Homemade Pedals Drones

* de.i.te (Montreal)

* Hoefizer (Montreal)

* Maggot Breeder (Montreal, Walnut+Locust)

This event will also feature the record launch for Hamilton’s premier ambient-psychedelic one-man band Electroluminescent, with the support of Ottawa’s ambient-dronist Shane Whitbread (also known as Fiveways).

The night will end with a practice run of the official premiere of Ghidrah: an impromptu improvised collaboration between Aun, Maggot Breeder & thisquietarmy, aka the 3-headed monster. These three artists have collaborated together under their individual names at LFH in November, which is from where the idea was stemmed from.

Here’s the tentative schedule for the event:

> 15h00 – Hoefizer
> 15h45 – thisquietarmy
> 16h30 – de.i.te
> 17h15 – Cloudscapes
> 18h00 – Maggot Breeder
> 18h45 – The Montreal Nintendo Orkestar
> 19h30 – Anti-School Year
> 20h15 – Aun

> 21h00 – Shane Whitbread
> 21h45 – Electroluminescent
> 22h30 – Ghidrah

If all goes well, this may turn into a monthly event. Get in touch if you would like to help out for these, or if you would like to play.

Come, rain or shine… for a coffee, a meal, a few sets, the whole damn thing — PWYC!
