Saturday, May 17

Related Artists: THE ROOTS, ZAP MAMA, ERYKAH BADU, POCKET DWELLERS. Twenty-five years, four continents, and several generations in the making, Zaki Ibrahim's music is captivating and vibrant. It's thick with poetics, and steeped in a delicious mixture of earnest emotion and humor. She was shaped by the diversity of her Apartheid-era hometown and household , where the lessons of Islam fed into discussions of Buddhism, Sufi philosophies courted drums, and Scottish folk songs intertwined with a rich, epic ancestral history...

OHOLICS
Wednesday, June 18

Sounds Like: "Sleazeoid psychedelic Swedes, produced by the main man behind The Soundtrack Of Our Lives (Ebbott Lundberg)... actually feature a live sitar player. Think the grittier end of The Beatles, The Strokes and The Stones circa 1968 and something of The Electric Prunes...." Oholics are a six-piece psychedelic electrorock band from Gothenburg,Sweden. They formed in 2005, when they discussed the lack of real rock acts in Sweden. Since then the mission has been to create mind-blowing, beer-fueled rock tunes. The line-up includes guitar, bass, drums, sitar, lots of percussion and various synthezisers. Major influences include Primal Scream, Oasis, Syd Barrett, Happy Mondays, the psychedelic 60's and the punk scene...

THE POPULARS
with guests THE CONSERVATORY FOR THE REGRESSION OF SOUND + JUNKIE AND THE SPIDER
Sunday, May 11

Armed with a tattered van, some broken gear, and a passion to play, drummer Ernie Basiliadis and guitarist Dave Klym were two guys from the Alberta prairies who spent several years (and many, many miles) touring and performing around the world. After a few years playing in the Nashville scene, Dave & Ernie decided they wanted to do something completely different. They had a simple vision: to create their own, new sound; a sound that borrows from and celebrates the music of the artists they love. It was 2002 when they headed to Ontario to form The Populars, a power trio made complete with the addition of Toronto bassist Ben Wilson...
