Why Should I Go?

Just go.  Greg MacPherson's new project called Figure Walking has just released the kind of album that should establish him / the band as one of the great Canadian musicians.  If this album doesn't make Greg and this band huge, I give up.  Possibly one of the best this year and probably Greg's next interaction with the Polaris Prize.

Corin Raymond @ Artword Artbar - Sat Apr 29

Image
Corin Raymond + Treasa Levasseur & Brian Kobayakawa, Sat Apr 29 Genre:  Folk Singer/Songwriter 8 pm $15. https://www.corinraymond.com/shows Singer/storyteller Corin Raymond will be joined by Hamilton-based keyboardist and songbird Treasa Levasseur, along with upright bassist Brian Kobayakawa, for an entertaining evening of new songs and old. Why Should I Go?  If you don't know Corin or haven't heard of him I can personally vouch for the fact that you will absolutely enjoy this show.  Corin not only writes great songs but also captivates the audience with the (often funny) stories behind his songs. Corin may very well still be celebrating the Juno nomination for his album Hobo Jungle Fever Dreams, as well as sharing some songs as yet unrecorded. “Corin Raymond is a storyteller who by the end of the night you’ll have known your whole life.” – The Globe and Mail.

The Best Chicken Wings in Hamilton (...the World?)

Image
Hands down.  Listen, Save yourself some time, stop reading this and just go eat some. With the number of pizza and wing places scattered across the city and when you consider that Hamilton is just down the highway from the birthplace of buffalo chicken wings, you'd think that there might be lots of contenders for best chicken wing in the city.  I am however going to take a risk here and just call it.   Work, an unpretentious (in fact...super friendly) hang-out on James Street North and its my hands down winner.  I don't even hesitate to say that you'd be hard pressed to find a better wing anywhere.

Who should go If you like a bit of angst in your tea.  If you aren't afraid of a little dissonance and music that's far away from the mainstream.  If you're comfortable in a smaller unlicenced venue.  This is a queer/trans/femme identifying friendly event so you should feel especially welcome if you identify as such. Why should I go? Glenn Matthews, Shhh and livestalk & the bodies are a pretty solid lineup - this should be pretty great. Set Times 8:30//////// QUEERFANG (ham) So this is Queerfang's first show apparently - give them a shot 9:15/////// Glenn Matthews (philly) somber songwrite slowcore https://glennmatthews.bandcamp.com/ If you can't make it early try to make it by 9:15.  Glenn's writing is solid.  His songs (like next time we meet) hit
