SCHEDULE:
• Amery (6:30pm)
Amery’s soundworld is informed by friendship, experience and by her day job as a renowned illustrator and visual artist. Beginning Alpen Glow in a spirit of fun and now shedding the alias, Amery’s ready to hotwire the nite.
• Diamond Day (7:15pm)
Montréal’s Diamond Day reimagine shoegaze in a hazy electro dreamworld. Béatrix Méthé (Rosier) and Quinn Bachand, who first met on the folk music scene, have successfully combined traditional sounds and electronic experimentation on their debut album, ‘Connect the Dots.
• Laughing (8pm)
What’s so funny about peace, love, and understanding? Laughing are Montreal-based rock n’ rollers who take cues from some of the greatest pop songwriters of the past five decades. Four unique voices from across the Canadian expanse. Cross-stitched material and temporary ego sublimation serve them well in their pursuit of the holy grail: a perfect song.
• FUUDGE (8:45pm)

• Pressure Pin (9:30pm)
From the deepest recesses of Montréal, a burgeoning art punk act by the moniker of Pressure Pin has materialized. Originally the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Kenny Smith, also the drummer of La Sécurité, Pressure Pin has since expanded to a full-band operation.
• Truck Violence (10:15pm)
Truck Violence is a medley that wails its way through the bitters of modern Western Canadian hardcore and folk, an honesty and shamelessness in disappointment that is both a comfort and a stern regard.
