That's a good question. I don't see anything on ticketweb.ca yet. Hopefully we'll get an update soon. Maybe they're all sold out already?

According to

http://www.nufunk.ca

advance tickets for the Oct. 30 Toronto Garaj Mahal show (which apparently has The Chameleon Project opening up) will be on sale starting Oct. 7. I'd assume hope that advance tickets for the other shows would also be on sale on that date.

Aloha,

Brad

Advance tickets for the Hamilton show are definitely available at The Pepper Jack Cafe. I know because I bought some the last time I was in Hamilton. I'm stoked ... it's going to be a fun night!

Peace, Mark

Touring extensively since their formation in 2000, Garaj Mahal continues to earn critical acclaim and a growing fanbase thanks to their ability to deliver serious "shut-up-and-listen& quot; grooves. Garaj Mahal's sound – a convergence of jazz-style improvisation, mystical Middle-Eastern atmospheres, and danceable American funk - attracts music lovers from all parts of the spectrum and creates a profoundly unique experience.

The band member's virtuosity is no surprise when you look at even a few of the amazing artists they've performed and/or recorded with over the years, including Dizzy Gillespie, John McLaughlin, Sting, Cassandra Wilson, Dave Holland, Bela Fleck, Chick Corea, Steve Smith, Zakir Hussain, Edgar Meyer, Les Claypool, Trey Anastasio, Umphrey's McGee, MMW, Steve Kimock, and Michael Manring.

Garaj Mahal's previous release and second studio album, Blueberry Cave, is the result of years spent honing their musical relationship on the road. The album was a winner in the 2007 Independent Music Awards, whose esteemed panel of judges include Peter Gabriel, Ozzy Osbourne, McCoy Tyner, Paul Oakenfold, Suzanne Vega, Cyndi Lauper, Marc Ribot, Buddy Guy, David Grisman, Bebel Gilberto, Bill Frisell , Rob Wasserman and FatBoy Slim.

Jazz for the Brain and groove for the soul is the sonic gift members of The Chameleon Project deliver to their audience. Their sleek and progressive dance music with a thoughtful edge makes the Toronto-based group the perfect festival band as it provides something that will please a diverse crowd of music lovers.

In the music from The Chameleon Project's most recent album, you'll find examples of how urgent and infectious beats meet deep pocket angular grooves that entice the ears to listen and the body to move. However, while this tightly knit trio takes pride in pushing boundaries in their music, they remain melodic and do not alienate their audiences—a pitfall that some improvising can bands fall into. The name of The Chameleon Project is inspired by a creature that uniquely blends into its visual environment. Similarly, through the quality of their musicianship, the trio blends its sound with the people who come to experience it, assuring that no two shows are ever alike.

The sound of The Chameleon Project is deeply rooted in the theoretical and harmonic principles of jazz, along with the propulsive beats and textures of electronica, dub, and funk. Extracting musical innovations from the masters of the past and the vanguards of today, the Chameleon Project distill their disparate influences (like Roni Size, LTJ Bukem, Grant Green, Miles Davis, Chic, Parliament Funkadelic, The Grateful Dead, Little Feat, and King Tubby, to name a few) into a cohesive sound that delivers exciting soundscapes and invigorating rhythms that are always best when experienced live.

Tickets for Ottawa are on sale through Ticketweb.

Vertigo Records and Mavericks should have some as well.

chrs

I checked Vertigo this morning and they never heard of the show. Does anybody know if they will be getting any? Getting to Mavericks during their opening hours is tough for me.

as soon as there are hard tix printed by maverick's, I will grab a bunch to drop off at any convenient locations. Suggestions are welcome.

How about Birdman Sound in the Glebe? And while End Hits is pretty close to Vertigo Records and Mavericks, I know they handle tickets for a lot of shows.

Aloha,

Brad
