Half A Dino 7/4 7/11 Preview!

 

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!  There are two Half a Dino shows coming up at The APK featuring some of our country’s best national and local talent. The shows on Thursday, July 4th and Thursday, July 11th are
not to be missed and I hope that this preview helps sway you if you’re
unfamiliar with any of the SIX stellar acts. These bands are too good to sleep on!  Both shows are $5, and I urge you to take a chance on
these bands.  You will not be disappointed.   


This Thursday! July 4th!

CURB
on Bandcamp
  • London, ON | Noise-Punk Rock Fury | 
  • Their
    legendary 3-bass set on 4/20 at Hot Dog will not soon be forgotten.  While yielding only one bassist for this show, you can expect these
    local guys to still blow everyone away.
  • They will be releasing a
    5-song Demo Tape (recorded “the proper way” directly on to tape) at
    this show, a Lo-Fi Noise-Punk’s wet dream.
 
THIS MESS
on Bandcamp
on Weird Canada
on Wavelength 
  • Toronto, ON | ‘SST’ Punk Rock | 
  • A
    fast and loud 3-piece Riff-Punk act from Toronto, that have been
    turning heads with their in-your-face screeching punk bursts of
    songs.
  • Their 21 track album States is great from front to back,
    and I can’t wait to welcome these guys to the APK stage for the first
    time.


 
KESTRELS
on Bandcamp
on Brooklyn Vegan
  • Halifax, NS | Shoegaze Indie Rock | 
  • These well-known shoegazers have made some changes recently and their new sound is a foray into louder, hazier territory.
  • Their last release A Ghost History gained international acclaim, from serious players like Brooklyn Vegan & Punk News
  • Currently
    working on their latest full length album with engineer Alex Bonenfant
    at The Dreamhouse in T.O (where METZ recorded their LP).

    A Week from Thursday! July 14th!

     

  • Toronto, ON | Stoner-Pop-Psych-Bubblegum Garage |  
  • Originally
    from Lethbridge Alberta, these guys have been around the block (so to speak),
    and have created a unique Garage Rock meets Stoner-Pop sound that blows
    away nearly anyone else. SRSLY THO! 
  • “Perhaps if
    Brian Wilson spent his lost years making spaced out power-pop and
    listening to the Bomp! Records catalogue it would have sounded like
    this.” -Pleasance Records
     
  • Editor’s Note: frontman Paul Lawton’s also been getting some press for his criticism of the Canadian Music Industry on his blog ‘Slagging Off’ including articles on Vice and in the National Post.
     
 
MONOMYTH
on Bandcamp
on Weird Canada
  • Halifax NS | Weirdo Psych-Pop Haze | 
  • Easily
    one of Halifax’s best acts, these guys have been on my radar for
    a while now.  Their recordings jump between Psychedelia and Weirdo-Pop.  It’s experimental yet catchy and accessible. 
  • Their
    latest release ‘King, Does This Not Please You? (Behold the Power)’ is a
    four-track masterpiece.  It’s Surfy, its Shoegazey, it’s Poppy yet
    completely Punk Rock. 


 
SAY DOMINO
on Bandcamp
on Youtube
  •  London, ON | Garage-Psych | 
  • You’ve
    probably seen them before but the new songs occupy both
    the Psychedelic and the “Summer Jam” realm.  Genre always changing.
  • Newly
    self-released tape recorded w/ Denholm Whale (Odonis Odonis) available
    for free Download via Bandcamp (limited physical copies remaining).     


ZEBRASSIERES
on Bandcamp
on Weird Canada
 
  • Toronto, ON | Synth Punk |
  • RUMOURED TO APPEAR.  Get their early.
