Holy fuÇk w/ Tomate Potate - November 17 in Kingston

[skelter]

Rock Crew Productions, Elixir Nightclub (14 Garrett Street), and CFRC 101.9 FM are very proud to present Holy Fuck with special guests Tomate Potate on Thursday, November 17. Advance tickets are $7 and on sale now at Brian’s Record Option, Zap Records, Chumleighs, Destinations, Renaissance Music, Elixir, or online at www.rockcrew.ca

Holy Fuck are a four-piece improv band built on strange electronics, pulsing bass and full-steam drumming. Comprised of past and present members of By Divine Right and King Cobb Steelie, Holy Fuck made good on their name and pedigree with a danceable, alcohol-fuelled blow-out. Driving like Trans Am and littered with chipmunk vocal manipulations and analog tape trickery. No laptop’s, no samplers, no synths. The electronic sound of Holy Fuck is improvised entirely with toy keyboards, live drums, live bass guitar, and a myriad of other toy gadgets your little brother used to play with…oh yeah… and a 35mm film synchronizer. In only a years time Toronto’s Holy Fuck have made numerous live recordings and played a multitude of festivals including CMJ, SXSW, Montreal Jazz Festival, NXNE, CMW, Halifax Pop Explosion, Pop Montreal, and most recently Coachella as backing band for acclaimed Brooklyn hip hop artist Beans.

Tomate Potate are grumpy, and noisy. We cut feet, sing and shout. Welcome to the new love-in. Everyone smile.

" it's about mad, acid-trippin' dance music!"

Because so much of what makes the largely improvisational Holy Fuck project an exciting proposition happens spontaneously, capturing that anything-can-happen vibe in a studio setting is a difficult prospect. Evidently, Brian Borcherdt, Glenn Milchem, Kevin Lynn, Graham Walsh, Loel Campbell and Mike Bigelow were up to the task, as the crash 'n' bash frolic they documented over two days in Halifax and Toronto sounds remarkably lively for a canned session. Some tracks sound a bit more structured – even, dare I say, songlike? – but they've wisely left things raw and loose. Granted, it's not as good as seeing a Holy Fuck performance, but it'll do.

Holy Fuck might screw about with toy instruments, but when it comes to making a killer party record, they're not kidding around. Not entirely, anyway. You can hear the instrumental Toronto foursome (comprised of Blue Rodeo/Swallows drummer Glenn Milchem, King Cobb Steelie bassist Kevin Lynn and lo-fi effects assault team Brian Borcherdt and Graham Walsh) shouting "woo hoo!" and "yeah!" amid the live-to-tape recording of this thunderous and relentless faux-electronica breakdance bash of a debut, so you know they're definitely having a lot of fun with this -- as will you. Holy Fuck waste no time blasting into high gear on a rocket set for the centre of your pelvis, making it sway with a mixture of funky sensibility and chaotic urgency. As the swirling insanity builds and releases, you'll be powerless to avoid getting caught up in Holy Fuck's celebratory spasms
