americans seem less afraid to express themselves...if they like it they say so...if they don't like it ... they pipe up...they don't seem overly worried about reprisal...they can always invade...

if you're not afraid to get beat up you may be more willing to say something...less fear enable allows them to be their freaky fun-loving selves...they don't seem to care as much about how they are perceived as some Canadians do...

I understand this principle...I am a fairly large human and I have always felt that it has made it easier for me to say what I think because there was a decent chance I wouldn't get my head beat in...it also helps if you have something to say ... thanks!

I'll keep an eye out..Jim

headliners shmeadliners...moe. shmoe...

I realize that my reading comprehension is questionable and admittedly I have been skimming this thread like a stone skipping cross a pond but isn't this whole discussion about canadian talent...like keither said...keep costs down and have all the bands out that you want to have that can make it out...

that is to reaise the question: is a reasonably priced well organized Canadian music festival of what I'd like to call INTERESTING!!! dance music(with workshops! combining people in bands who'd like to jam with other people in other bands a la Hillside festival)a viable option.?..

do we need big names to get people to attend...isn't life just a big assed party with a lot of good music anyways...who needs names...we're just looking to party with like minded folk wwho know how to have a good time...

Phish Shmish...Dead Shmead

Also…ThreeDee will be doing their first full-length performance on Friday April

23rd with Guests "Cavern" at the Circus Room in Kitchener Ontario located at

729 King St E. (519) 743-0368...Totally improvised eclectic groove

music...here's more about ThreeDee...

Out of the ashes and rubble of former bands/recording projects etc. and from

the ever-present urge to communicate funkified and freely, "ThreeDee" is

born. The commingling of Funk, R&B, Jazz, Rock and other related roots

languages produces a new dialect peculiar to "us cats" that we have seen fit

to describe as "ThreeDee". "ThreeDee" is three musicians allowing their

musical minds to meld in a Vulcan dance of tribal rhythms that not only

provokes some intense dancing but can also induce (not in any particular

order); speaking in tongues, unconscious drooling, jaw dropping, a general

looseness of behavior, and, as well, at certain times, a bulging of the

eyeballs may occur. So be prepared. Read the label carefully. Dixie cups

and disposable trusses will be made available on site.

Guitarist Jim Slansky (Passenger, Chipotle, Toastmaster General et al) and

bassist Jason Raso (Passenger, Life on Planet Bop, Supersonic Music Man et

al) have joined forces with drummer John Cusinato (DoeLine, Passenger et al)

to form the brand new thang that is "ThreeDee".

"ThreeDee" is both a band and a concept. These pieces of music aren't

necessarily being introduced as songs as much as they are visceral themes,

pieces to the puzzle, experiences reduced to their essence, tinctures of

liquid music, created/recalled on the spot, impromptu, and patiently allowed

to expand and contract via the harmonious energy generated through the

musical co-operative that is...ThreeDee. These musicians, functioning

beyond there own control, at the whim of the frothing winds of change, are

taken aloft, down and around on the rollercoaster of life as they speak to

each other and us of topographic tales of a telling tone within the

spiraling weather system that is our world. In the realm of time defined by

the speed/movement of light, unconsciously conscious in the Garden of

Earthly delights, driven by their collectivity in the spirit of true

collaboration, ThreeDee cultivates these themes and allow them to morph

anew, taking them to places where they have never been, going boldly where

no themes have gone before!

It is not for us to say what will happen... but SOMETHING is gonna happen,

and you're gonna dig it!!
