From the prairie cryptography of Taylor Burgess:
Mammoth Cave gives us another great ’stain of the nation — the fourth entry of their barely-registers-before-it’s-gone, minute-long song-a-thon. This time, Saskatoonians and Winnipeggers each take a side of the 7”, drawing a line on either side of a border called ‘garage rock’. Members of the keystone province crank their amps to 17 with absolutely no nonsense, but the Toontowners are taking mad trips left and right, getting bleary-eyed and psyched-out with post-hardcore hangovers. Neither side is taking prisoners. Think you’re tough? Listen to Atomic Don’s diamond dog doo-wop or Auld Beak’s top-of-the-lung laments without crying. Think you’re solid? Listen to This Hisses’ chilling post-punk gallop or Trees’ auditory existential crisis without trippin’. But the majority of these tunes, like the Haunted Souls’ hyper-speed wooly bully or Plague Rats Throughout History’s warped pogo-proto-punk, will leave your rug cut into confetti. WC mainstays Feral Children and Microdot have also included cuts of their usual shimmering/pummeling weirdo ephemera. Srsly, grippppppppit.

Wyrd MTL :: Official Announcement!!!
This month, Montreal’s seminal experimental music festival Suoni Per Il Popolo announced a partial lineup for 2011, including the first wave of WYRD MTL. Today, we open the floodgates for a full announcement, including information on the MEGA MERCH BAZAAR.
Much like our daily operation and its Western Canadian festival counterparts, this year’s inauguration of Wyrd’s expansion into Montreal will spotlight a coast-spanning cross-section of the Northernly subterranean. Over the course of a single jam-packed evening, 11 artists will bounce back and forth between the main stage and a special floor stage built specifically for this show. The infamous Grumman Taco Truck will be on-site all night after doors open at 7 pm, so come early and chow down on the best tacos in town!
WYRD MTL will also include a MEGA MERCH BAZAAR featuring visual art, purveyors of printed matter and Canada’s finest record labels. These will include Arbutus, Divorce, Fixture, Scotch Tapes, Bruised Tongue, Campaign For Infinity, Fluorescent Friends, Electric Voice, Hobo Cult, Fadeaway Tapes, Los Discos Enfantasmos, They Live We Sleep, Vintage Violence, Totally Disconnected, Planet of the Tapes, Dream Sequence and many more TBA.
p.s. Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement of TWO MORE SURPRISE ARTISTS in the coming weeks!

Dans l’esprit de weirdcanada.com et des WYRD FEST de la côte pacifique, cette édition inaugurale montréalaise mettra l’accent sur un éventail de sonorités underground nordiques, d’un océan à l’autre. Le WYRD MTL, c’est onze artistes qui se succéderont en un soir seulement, alternant entre la scène principale et une scène de parterre spécialement conçue pour l’événement. De plus, l’excellente taqueria ambulante Grumman sera aussi sur place toute la soirée, dès l’ouverture des portes à 19h. Arrivez tôt et profitez des meilleurs tacos en ville !

Promotions :: WYRD FEST
Yes, Edmonton finally got its first underground music festival. It’s starting out small, with just 16 bands in one evening across two-stages, but I’m sure Wyrd Fest will become the revenue generating, gold-tank driving, investment masterpiece of Obey Convention, Sled Island, and Pop Montreal in no time!
In the meantime, see the full details here: WYRD FEST
I was up all night making this stupid press-release.
Which is why there hasn’t been any new reviews over the weekend. I assure you, there will be some nice reviews coming monday night!

Feral Children Hits and Improv (Self Released) Saskatoon, Saskatchewan ::web/sounds:: |
Viewing the Feral Children spectacle is a truly singular experience; emotional bellowing from the bottoms of a psychedelic vortex. Creating detailed lysergic textures on the fly with the usage of a looping pedal and sampler whilst strumming his uniquely tuned, de-strung guitar. This album got heavy play while I was finishing my thesis, putting out a record, and working full-time. I managed to avoid dropping acid but the album was a certified trip each time I took a break from hell to listen. Highly recommended. A top release from 2008.
