www.nufunk.ca & www.forwardmusicgroup.com presents.... GRAND THEFT BUS (New Brunswick) www.grandtheftbus.com w/ LOVE MACHINE (Ottawa) DOWN WITH THE BUTTERFLY (Halifax) Friday, October 5th, 2007 The Rivoli www.rivoli.ca 322 Queen St. W Toronto, On Grand Theft Bus www.grandtheftbus.com Powerful.Catchy.Compelling.Eclectic.Emotional . "Have you ever watched a band play live and thought that the musicians were meant to play together? If not, then you should seek out Grand Theft Bus. The machine-like drumming of Bob Deveau is perfectly paired with Graeme Walker's precision bass lines. Add to that the tasteful chord progressions of Tim Walker's guitar and the many layers of Dennis Goodwin's chaotic and scattered guitar and synth lines, and you have the makings of one of Canada's most exciting, intense and original bands. With two full-length albums under their belt, Grand Theft Bus are currently putting the finishing touches on the follow-up to their widely-acclaimed 2005 sophomore release Flies In The No-Fly. If you like rock music that is intelligent and fun with interesting lyrics, tight vocal harmonies and indie/pop/rock sensibilities...then you will enjoy Grand Theft Bus." In 6 years, the band has released two acclaimed full length albums revered by both fans and critics a like. GTB have toured Canada in it's entirety 4 times, playing well over 700 shows from clubs to theatres to festivals. In turn, they have earned a reputation as a thrilling, must-see live act and have snowballed into an outfit well worthy of their large and loyal fan base across the country. TheLove Machine www.thelovemachineband.com/wp/ Composed from the ashes of two previous Ottawa bands, the dance-inspiring pep that is the Love Machine came together in early 2004 around the line-up of Sean Prescott (guitar/vocals), Allan Gauthier (guitar/vocals), Jordan David (Bass/vocals) and Mike Laing (drums/vocals). They’ve spent the three years since their inception honing and refining both their sound and their live show. Their eponymous debut EP, released a year after the band’s formation, established their sound with definition. Jangly yet intense guitars, huge synth melodies, pulsing bass, stomping drums, and more vocal harmonies than should be legally allowed compose their energetic pop sound. Each piece of the sound is equally important in the songwriting, as the band writes without a primary songwriter. This collective approach to writing, along with the fact that every member in the band contributes vocals, makes The Love Machine’s sound an extremely unique and fresh one in the crowded pop scene. The lyrics aren’t shabby either, contributing humor-tempered drama to their sound. In standout track “We Are Squirrels And This is Nuts (The Family Song),†lead singer Sean Prescott calls out, “This is the way that we scream our hearts out,†to which the rest of the band ironically replies with a chorus of mellow doot doots. These are guys that don’t take themselves too seriously, but sober up significantly when talking about the future of the band. Down the Butterfly www.downwiththebuttefly.com www.myspace.com/downwiththebutterfly Progressive pop rockers David Scholten (vocals), Kris Pope (guitar), Jason Burns (drums), and Ian Sherwood (bass), enjoy making intense, beautiful and insightful music. They don't shop at malls and they are conscious of sharing with their neighbours. They download music but they still buy CD's. They are lighthearted guys who take their band very seriously. Down With The Butterfly is a family of idealists trying express their thoughts about a beautiful world that often tears us apart. Down With The Butterfly is from Eastern Canada (the Band was born in Halifax, NS) and is inspired and encouraged there. They've been a band since May of 2005 and with the help of industry, fans, and friends, tour non-stop throughout Eastern Canada and released their debut CD, 'RISE', in May of 2006. presented in association with: www.nufunk.ca www.myspace.com/nufunk

ECCODEK has emerged as one of Canada's brightest new talents on the dub and global fusion scene. Their innovative melding of downtempo, tribal, electronica and ethnic voices recently snagged them the Best World Music Artist award at 2007's Canadian Music Awards and had U.S. magazine Flaunt boasting, "Eccodek 's 'Voices have eyes' picks up where last year's sublime 'More Africa in us' left off." Exclaim! called 'Voices Have Eyes' a much anticipated album from Canada's best known world beat artist", while All Music Guide raved about the band's "almost mystical sense of wonder." ECCODEK's latest has sat in both the Earshot! and Chart Attack top 10 world and electronic charts on both the domestic and North American re-release with U.S.'s White Swan Records. And Eccodek mainman Andrew McPherson has kept busy with recent production work on Vieux Farka Touré's just released remix album and as the sole Canadian contributor to National Geographic's GeoRemix project. As if that wasn't enough, Eccodek appears on the new Buddha Bar iX compilation currently lighting up fusion clubs around the world. www.eccodek.com Toronto's DUB COLLECTIVE are no strangers to the dub community, creating a bonafide juggernaut of steppers dub, roots reggae, roots dub and electro dub sounds which is new to the Toronto scene. Unleashing a heady stew of live improvisation where the 3-piece wrecking crew trade off on a myriad of instruments, often mid-song. Weaving old school reggae, sweet vocal melodies and seriously spaced out synths, overtop a bedrock of deep rhythms, DUB COLLECTIVE is sure to have even the most jaded cynic testing the low end theory. www.versionxcursion.com - www.dubmatix.com MEDICINEMAN, from No Man's Land - CIUT 89.5 FM continues to demonstrate why he is the pre-eminent world fusion DJ in the Toronto area and arguably in Canada. His mid-week global groove show consistently ranks among the top of the heap for popularity and listenership. It's no secret why labels like Six Degrees, Realworld, Wagram, Palm Pictures, Stereo Deluxe and Echo Beach go to the doctor when a new release needs to hit the airwaves. A tastemaker of the highest order and regular contributor to Toronto's festival, concert and club scene, MEDICINEMAN will spin sets throughout the night to keep the dub thumping and heart's pumping. ROLLIN CASH SOUND SYSTEM Rollin's Cash's (Hot Pie Records) sound is a combination of music he has a deep respect for; classic roots dub/reggae and ol'school funk mashed up with modern & relevant sounds from todays world - breaks, step, hop, grime, and downtempo. Playing in a live setting with members of Manervous Beat, High Plains Drifter and The Irie Band - with Rollin performing on the decks with Serato - this improvisational outfit will feed off the energy and vibe of the Dub Transmission concept - deep grooves, trance like bass lines and a penchant for the unexpected. www.djrollincash.com
