THiS Tuesday July 11th . Canartic and InsideAMind

Austin's Jon Coats and Randall Peterson formed Canartic with 
bass player Gerard Smith in 2002. Canartic utilize dub and 
downtempo styles as guides to collage electronic shapes around 
simple grooves. The chilled results are then injected with a dose 
of psychedelia, courtesy of heavily processed guitar. Finally, 
samples round out the mix, providing listeners with hints to the 
ideas behind the music. Live, Canartic perform as a duo, with 
Coats dub mixing in real time from hard disk, and Peterson 
adding treatments and his processed guitar.

As the definition of the word "DJ" continues to expand, 
INSIDEaMIND emerges in Toronto as a four man scratch band, 
further stretching artistic boundaries by performing live original 
compositions with vinyl. The scratch musicians, as they call 
themselves, bring forth a unique angle to what a group of 
DJ's/Producers armed with instruments called turntables can 
create. By developing outside the often limiting battle-oriented 
mindframe that scratching is too often associated with, the 
crew is bringing new life to this ever evolving artform.

Before Sets CD . "The Truth In Me" by Roger O'Donnell
This week we feature former Cure keyboardist Roger O'Donnell's 
splendid solo record which was inspired by and created with a 
Moog Voyager synthesizer. Definitely not a concept album, 
rather a concept for an album as it was a re-visiting of his 
early days of composing using limited equipment, but now 
with 25 years of influence and experience to draw upon. 
It's definitely a voyage worth taking. http://www.rogerodonnell.com

Between Sets CD . "Momentium" by Jeffrey Koepper
Visit http://www.pingthings.com/KOEPPERmomentium.htm

COMiNG Tuesday July 18th . GeekWeekend featuring 
Robert Hoare (Berlin, Germany) and Steven Sauvé 
(Hamilton, ON) with Eric St-Laurent

After a year's absence from the bright lights, Geek Weekend 
(Rob Hoare and Steven Sauvé) returns for another evening of 
slightly ludicrous, but wholly entertaining noises. They will also 
be welcoming intrepid guitarist Eric St-Laurent for an added 
touch of badly needed class.

Geek Weekend? Two brains, two computers, and virtually 
no restraint! And a guitar too!

Come and hear cryptic phrases and mysterious pronouncements.
Thrill to the ambiguity of the English language.
Smoke (outside of course)! Drink! And be kind to each other.
