Tren Brothers, Mary Margaret O’Hara and Bernier/Trottier at Sala Rossa for the Suoni Per Il Popolo festival, Thursday, June 19th.
Bernier/Trottier started the night with an atmospheric mixture of acoustic guitar and laptop. “Welcome to this summer evening”, it said. The laptopist shifted brushes along a snare drum, sampling these textures on top of field [...]

I arrived early for the Richard Bishop/ Alan Bishop show on Wednesday evening. A small crowd gathered outside to smoke, chat, hang out and kill time before the performance. I couldn’t help but notice a slightly melancholic vibe that hung over the small crowd, as if the spirit of Charles Gocher were present and longing [...]
On top of a month-long itinerary of amazing shows, Suoni Per Il Popolo is collaborating with The Guelph Jazz Festival Colloquium at the University of Guelph and McGill University in Montreal to put together this weekend’s Improvisation Colloquium. I really really wish I could go, but I’m working both days. If you’ve got any free [...]

Scarnella is the errant brainchild of Carla Bozulich and Nels Cline… The band draws on a wide array of styles, instruments & methodologies to express itself: Carla still plays guitar and works her mighty pipes, but also adds bass guitar and her sampling keyboard, which had been in the closet collecting dust for too long.

Review of Saturday’s show at Sala Rossa. A part of Indyish’s coverage of Suoni Per Il Popolo.
Oneida play heavy and intense. Their music is a steady-driving barrage of sped-up Sabbath drum-driven guitar rock. Most of their songs that night were instrumental, though a few had melodic vocals and every song started with the drummer kicking [...]

These two immensely experienced players recently collaborated on the 2006 Clean Feed release AIRWALKERS. Tonight’s show was a performance of some of the tracks [...]
