  1. Decent lineup, seen lots of them. Some repeats from last time. Cradle of Filth would have been nice. Annihilator would have been great, but I believe they'll be touring Europe/Asia this summer. Ottawa's born-and-raised Jeff Waters is God on guitar. Arch Enemy with Angela Gossow kicks ass, but they were in Montreal a few weeks ago. Children of Bodom brought it when they were last in Montreal last September. Still plan on being there.
  2. Trust me....this'll be good.
  3. The Improvised Music Collective is proud to present the [color:red]Chris Cawthray Trio featuring Glen Hall to the [color:red]Avant Garde Bar on [color:red]Friday, May 22. They'll play two sets starting at [color:red]9:00pm. It's a "[color:red]pay what you wish" show. Chris Cawthray is on drums & vocals, Simeon Abbott on electric keyboard and Glen Hall on tenor sax. Hall has played and recorded with the likes of Lee Ranaldo, William Hooker, Roswell Rudd, Andrea Parkins and Dominic Duval, among others. The IMC brought Chris Cawthray, Rob Price and Ed Zankowski to the Avant Garde Bar last fall for a blistering show. This one promises to be just as hot! Come on out and check it out! For further info go to: IMC
  4. On Saturday October 18, the Improvised Music Collective presents a power trio from New York and Toronto. Cawthray/Price/Zankowski is jam, jazz, roots, avant-garde, and more. Don't miss this chance to hear some of the leading improvising musicians of our time. At the Avant-Garde Bar, 135 1/2 Besserer. Doors open at 8 o'clock; admission is by donation. A kick-ass night of music! These guys rock!
  5. Definitely one of the best festivals going. Always some amazing stuff....so much to see, so little time. If you're into monster drummers, Bindu with Hamid Drake and 4 saxophonists will be smokin'. Another one I'll be catching is Scorch Trio ( think Cream meets Jimi ). Paal Nilsson-Love is a phenominal drummer, a little unconventional in his set-up, but Gawd can he work those skins!!
  6. Ken Vandermark and any of the many bands he's in are incapable of delivering a poor performance....they are seemingly always bang-on. Last night was no different. These guys had just come back from a European tour and two days later are starting their North American tour. Tim Daisy, the drummer, admitted to still suffering from jetlag (this he's telling me prior to the show while yawning several times). You certainly couldn't tell that by the way he was smokin' on the drum kit! Here's hoping KV makes Ottawa a regular stop on his touring schedule...he's pretty much booked a year ahead, what with the number of outfits he's in. Salivating at the chance of seeing Hamid Drake or Paal Nilsson-Love...two other absolutely kick-ass drummers he plays with. Bring em on!
  7. I've seen Ken Vandermark a half dozen times, with a number of outfits...Sonore, DKV Trio, V5 , FME. The man is incredibly talented and diverse, and the musicians which he surrounds himself are just as passionate about music as he is. Hell, he was honoured with the MacArthur Fellow prize for brilliance at the tender age of 32 when all previous recipients (Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, to name two) were well into their 60s and 70s. He was even in a punk outfit called The Flying Luttenbackers, and recently got involved in a heavy rock outfit called Powerhouse Sound. If you're into improvised music at its best, these guys are at the top of the class. Definitely not for the faint of heart...lots of free stuff but also amazing grooves and solos. Their new addition to the band, Fred Lonberg-Holm, a cello player, is worth the price of admission alone. Saw him last year in Montreal....had to pick my jaw off the floor. A definite must see!!
