whiteymuseum Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 So we are back to the books, kiddies, and ECLECTRICITY is right there with you. The Silent Film Star and Hex Kitten are proud to provide you with a fantastic study-break/first-date/procrastination option for your mid-week each week... "Eclectricity" Variety Night Weekly in the Casbah Lounge, Wednesdays 9pm-1am Hosted by Hex Kitten & The Silent Film Star Upcoming Performances... Wed Sept 7: DAN GOLDMAN Indie-folk-pop. Album contributions from Veda Hille, Wailin' Jennys & Jane Siberry. CATHERINE FRANK Soulful singer-songwriter from Western Ontario. Sister to our beloved Astrowallet/Rocket Robin. SARAH METZNER On Harry Manx's "Dog My Cat" label, influenced by Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, Joni Mitchell. DARRYL GOULD+JIMMY VAPID Local roots-rock afficienado. Darryl's music reflects the tunes he passionately plays-back at home in his creeky east-end apartment..Jeff Tweedy, Richard Buckner, Ryan Adams etc etc Wed Sept 14: JILL BARBER Drawing on influences from old-time jazz standards, bluegrassy-folk and hook-laden pop, Jill Barber has the subtle assuredness of a songwriter with "dead-on phrasing, an impressive range and genuine emotion in her cozy alto purr D TREVLON With his feet in the door in Nashville, D. Trevlon is a true Canadian songwriting talent JOHN LENNOX Standing at the crossroads of Chicago blues, alt-country, folk ballads, and indie rock, John Lennox is thumbing a ride through the landscape of popular music. His newest record presents a sophisticated architecture of howlin’ blues guitars, ghostly reverbs, warm acoustic guitar and piano sounds NEIL HAVERTY knows his way around wistfully complicated pop songcraft, has opened for Julie Doiron, Snailhouse, Brian Borcherdt & Owen here in Hamilton Wed Sept 21: ANDRE ETHIER Ethier takes to the clichéd, romantic barfly persona like Bukowski to beer, as he pulls off the same kind of slurred, red-eyed, down in the dumps poetic schtick that made Tom Waits famous, with great ease. with his forlorn piano chords and lazily strummed acoustic guitar, Ethier delivers blues-inspired lines with a raggedy, quavering voice CHAD ROSS Stripped-down acoustic-based alternatives to his Deadly Snakes' raucous R&B redux, features Jason Tait of The Weakerthans of wizardous singing saw WHIL KIDMAN full of shrugged-off exuberance and off-the-cuff hooks aplenty, aka Woolly Leaves, this Constantines keyboardist has a fantastic arsenal of music. Wed Sept 28: LUTHER WRIGHT Wright rips his heart out and throws this mass of emotions into his music while the Wrongs crush every stereotype...whether they're playing twangy toe-tappers or quiet, remorseful, drunken ballads VALERY GORE Valery Gore possesses the ability to dissolve the boundaries between age, time, and music. She is as inloved with the past as she is obsessed with the modernity of strange, subtle noises and how a piano is meant to sound when its keys fall under her fingers MICHELLE TITIAN is a Hamilton-based singer-songwriter whose honest songs & passionate performances herald a new talent. A unique blend folk/country/blues. Other UPCOMING Eclecs include: THE LASSUE YOUS, PETER KATZ, COLIN FISHER from STYTS, MALCOLM BAULD of The Frenetics, STATUES, ANIMAL MONSTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
