Dirty Beaches / Xiu Xiu

This show is going to rule and you need to go to it.

Last time Dirty Beaches rolled through town, it was as a solo act and he destroyed the Manx.

This time things are different. Ottawa’s own Shub Roy has joined the sonic assault.

You are no longer safe.

Shows to go to!

Montreal! Tonight!

Boyhood is playing the Void Magazine launch party!

Info!

Ottawa! Next Tuesday!

White Lung! Hand Cream! Caymans!

 

Frantic Panic

Busy start to the year, feels good man!

No Fear Of Pop jumped on the new Omma Cobba tape and gave it a good word!

We have also birthed the first solo release for Mannequin this week after the split release with Knifemare. Members of Total Crush/Nervous System/Crazy Ocean and more, bridging the gap between Ottawa and Montreal and the soul and the mind.

Here is a Track from it:
 Mannequin – Spaceman by BruisedTongue
Up next should be the Roberta Bondar full-length and N.213’s newest! 2012!

New Times

Proudly announcing a few heavy hitting magic titles this month.

First up we have world travelling masters Omma Cobba with Faster Acid Sun.

Omma Cobba’s self titled LP on Sweet Rot coming in at number #21 on No Fear of Pop. Big year for them with bigger things to come.

 

After featuring a track on the Afterburners compilation, F Hood drops more moody soundscrapes on his Gloomy Labyrinth cassette.

There are some photos up of the show here, care of Ming Wu.

 

Lastly we have a new release by Self Surgery, titled Psychedelic Cadaver, it is Pierre Richardson’s first full length offering.

Cool Feast

Just wanted to give Popcorn Plays a shoutout for the AMAZING foods that went down at COOL FEST XI. Lurked some photos of my back patch and my first yoga session.

Great blog that i have enjoyed for a long time!

Check it!

I will post photos of the whole fest in the future. Stay tuned!

Bruised Bruises

Our good pals The Creeping Nobodies split up a while ago, but from the splinters come two new entities.

Caymans will start it off, which will rule!

More info here!

Falling Fall

We have been enjoying the summertime while we still can. some really exciting things in the works. Omma Cobba – Faster Acid Sun, Burn Burn with artwork by Jesjit Gill, F Hood (who had a track on Afterburners), Self Surgery full length, and a couple more super top secret things(vinyl anyone?).
