AIDS WOLF (http://aidswolf.net/)
Montreal noise-punk trio unleash a fury of controlled chaos. Pounding, driving drums, covered by a layer of spastic, spazzy, screeching guitars that bounce from scraping moans to fuzzed out distortion. Scratching vocals that cut through the walls of articulated feedback will attack your brain/heart. Noise electronics dance with twisting vocal patterns over free drum beats, frantic & mesmerizing. Sadly, the last show from Canada’s preeminent noise rock unit. Don’t miss this last chance to relive the memories & get hectic.

CHILD ABUSE (http://www.myspace.com/childabuse)
Brutal noise-metal trio from NYC return to Toronto! Pummeling bass & drums pound forward, as bastardized synth lines & rotting vocal growls lurch and squirm through the mix. Spastic, caustic blasts of noise lead way for technical lock grooves. Intense slabs of synth fuzz, with vocals that sound like Rocksteady & Bebop from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles getting crushed in a blender, over one of the most brutalizing rhythms sections know to noise rock. For fans of The Locust, Aids Wolf, The Jesus Lizard, fast metal that hurts.

GORDON MONAHAN (http://www.gordonmonahan.com/)Gordon Monahan’s works for piano, loudspeakers, video, kinetic sculpture, and computer-controlled sound environments span various genres from avant-garde concert music to multi-media installation and sound art. As a composer and sound artist, he juxtaposes the quantitative and qualitative aspects of natural acoustical phenomena with elements of media technology, environment, architecture, popular culture, and live performance. The renowned composer John Cage once said, “At the piano, Gordon Monahan produces sounds we haven’t heard before.”
Gordon will present a performance for theremin.

NOT THE WIND, NOT THE FLAG (http://weirdcanada.com/2012/02/new-canadiana-not-the-wind-not-the-flag-esoteric-cycle/)
Colin Fisher & Brandon Valdivia’s genre spanning free improv. duo draws influence from psych, jazz, noise, world musics and their own brotherly connectivity. Colin & Brandon build familiar structures in an improvised setting. From gentle kalimba noodlings over impatient drums, they build into wells of space psych guitar noise only to deconstruct again into a whisper of bells and gongs. One of the most versatile & interesting acts in the city.
