Johnny 2 Fingers and the Deformities

Saturday November 19th "Right now, there’s a guitarist from Moose Jaw who might be the saviour of Saskatchewan guitar rock. And he’s missing a bunch of his fingers…. Johnny 2 Fingers & the Deformities take their cues from southern-fried boogie rock and infuse it with a boozy belt of punk rock for good measure.” - Ominocity. Their latest album, McMillan’s Monster, made SaskMusic’s Top Ten Best Albums of 2015 and was described as “a delight” by Vice. http://noisey.vice.com/en_ca/blog/johnny-2-fingers-guitar $5 cover

David Dino White w/ Frank and Jay

Friday November 25th David Dino White Genre: Indie Rock from North Bay, ON Every song a hit, every hit a smack! Born and raised in North Bay, Ontario, David's ability to harness his guitar's full potential as a trans-genre instrument is what defines his unique and haunting style. As melodic as it is unpredictable, his inspirations run the gamet from metal to folk to flamenco and back again. A pioneer of his own true style, David has been developing his craft through years of playing in bands (most recently with CBC Searchlight Regional Champion Cole Fournier) and working as a multi-instrumentalist on various other local projects, both in and out of the studio. David recorded his first full length album 'Alone Together' with Juno Nominated producer Ben Leggett (who has since become David's drummer) and released the album to a devoted audience who crowd funded a limited edition vinyl of the album that was released in 2015. Listen to 'Alone Together' by going here...www.daviddinowhite.bandcamp.com 5 bucks!

Ben Caplan & The Casual Smokers

In like a lion with Ben Caplan this March 4th! Presented by: Girl Friday Productions Advance- $15 available at loplops.com A charismatic charmer and a smasher of pianos. A madman and an earnest poet. A strummer of delicate chords and a lover of bent and broken melodies. Ben Caplan is not any one thing. As he releases his second album, he's already gained a following in more than a dozen countries from Australia to Europe and across North America. It's no surprise. Caplan is simply unforgettable; with his huge beard and unruly mane, he is as visually striking as he is aurally compelling. His rough and textured tones cut through crowded halls; an enormous voice, roaring louder than raucous crowds. The microphone looks almost superfluous. But looks are deceiving; once he has your attention, Caplan can croon smoother than a glass of single malt whisky, pouring beauty into a harsh world. Inspired in part by Eastern European and Jewish folk traditions, Ben Caplan mixes older musical sensibilities with his own soul, straight from his hairy heart. Lyrically, you've not heard the like before. Often edgy and dark, Caplan holds a mirror up to show us our nasty bits, singing about the ugliness and showing us that this darkness is the root of the sublime. His new album, Birds with Broken Wings, explodes with sounds both ancient and modern, with more than 30 musicians and even more instruments, combining acoustic sounds from around the world. It's all smoothly blended by the hottest international production team around. It's uncharted territory, and Caplan's leading the way.
