CD RELEASE PARTY

THE HYLOZOISTS

with guests SLEEPLESS NIGHTS (from Halifax),

and WAYNE PETTI of Cuff The Duke

9PM, $8

To realize his expansive musical vision, mastermind Aucoin (vibraphone, glockenspiel, drums) calls upon a rotating cast of exemplary players that includes Patrick Conan (ex-Tricky Woo: vibraphone, glockenspiel, drums), Jason Ball (Hopeful Monster: organist, vocals), Jason Tait (The Weakerthans, FemBots: vibraphone, glockenspiel), Paul Lowman (Cuff the Duke: bass), Wayne Petti (Cuff the Duke: piano, vocals), Jeremy Strachan (Sea Snakes: guitar), Matthew Faris (Cuff the Duke: drums), Julie Penner (Broken Social Scene/FemBots: violin), Dale Murray (Cuff the Duke: pedal steel, guitar) and Monica Guenter (Christine Fellows: viola).

Traditionally, hylozoism is the belief that all matter holds life. Evidently, these Hylozoists believe every available minute bears opportunity. Having already racked up South by Southwest, Canadian Music Week and a cross-Canada tour in 2006, a deluge of new dates will accompany the release of La Fin Du Monde on Boompa Records. In turn, a new slew of haughty comparisons is sure to follow. Don't let decadent descriptors dissuade you from experiencing The Hylozoists for yourself. It's only rock 'n' roll and you'll like it.
