Bands!Bands!Bands! Volume XIIIFeaturing: Sharon, Diamond Day, Hot Pot & Sweet DeliriumTuesday, September 17thDoors: 7 PM | Show: 7:30 PM Advance: $7 | Door: $10All Ages
Bands!Bands!Bands! is celebrating one year! 🎉 To date, we have brought 48 different emerging local bands to our stage and given them the opportunity to show the crowd their exceptional talent. 🎈Don’t miss VOL. XIII on September 17th… With three returning acts, Sharon, Chilko in the Rosemary and Sweet Delirium and one brand new band to our stage, Diamond Day, you won’t want to miss this birthday celebration!
Don't miss out, grab your tickets now!
SharonUnder the dark and dank depths of the universal sock drawer you will find a mold, a special kind of mold. SHARONITUS-ZYGOMYCOTA! If harvested and spread over Primus's 'Pork Soda' album on Vinyl, then Mahler's 2nd symphony also on Vinyl is layed on top of that one, making a music/mold sandwich, you can frisbee toss it to the moon and in 7 nights the moon will spit back a map containing directions to the next SHARON show. Go on. Get to it. What does it say? Oh yes, it says September 17th at the VEC. Welp you already put in the effort of making that monstrosity so you might as well go to that show.
Diamond DayFrom janky glitch-pop drums to jangly guitars on the verge of explosion; Diamond Day reshape shoegaze into their hazy electro dreamworld. Led by Rosier’s Béatrix Méthé and Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, Quinn Bachand, the project began when Quinn moved to Boston as a teenager. The pair discovered an undeniable synergy after meeting at a music festival. Every weekend, Quinn would hop on a Montréal-bound greyhound to write, record and develop songs in Béatrix’s plateau apartment. Their debut record, Connect the Dots, is a “hypnotic and shoegazey alt-pop fever dream.” Méthé and Bachand enlisted a dream pop A-team–including producers Jorge Elbrecht and feeble little horse’s Sebastian Kinsler–to synthesize their expansive aesthetic over 10 tracks. Méthé’s magnetic vocals, catchy hooks and stream-of-consciousness lyrics became the band’s razor-sharp focus, cutting through Bachand's billowing noise-pop soundscapes and creating retro-futuristic euphoria.
Hot PotWhat’s in the pot? HOT POT is a gaggle of baddies that bounce in the space between Jazz, RnB, Reggae, Funk, Soul, Hip-Hop, and other genres of black music from this hemisphere, enhanced with a strong Asian flavour. They love laying down a feral og groove and busting out moves with the crowd, almost as much as they love talking about themselves in third person.

Local diva and Sharon Jones super-fan Katherine Beckett has assembled a fiery 12-piece band to help pay tribute to the late, great Miss Sharon Jones and her band, the Dap-Kings on what would just about be the 8th anniversary of her untimely passing from pancreatic cancer at the age of 60.

Orient immerses us at the crossroads of the fascinating aesthetics of Korean Pansori and Persian music, exploring these two “Orients” rich in cultures and sophisticated millennial musical heritages. Virtuoso musicians of Constantinople together alongside their fabulous guests from Korea explore various modes and rhythms, imagining new musical landscapes where the five cardinal directions—East, West, North, South, and Center—create a narrative illustrated with Pansori tales and Persian poems by Rumi and Hafez.
This creates a land where spirits and souls meet, and the stories of the two Orients converse, with the microtonality of the Pansori and Persian musical modes at the heart of this dialogue.
