CMW press quote 1

The Netherlands' Venus Flytrap sounds like a night visit to Amsterdam - hazy, dazy and the kind of thing you probably shouldn't tell your mom about. Labeled "noise-pop" by some journalists, it's a surprisingly fitting term. Think if Spiritualized remixed My Bloody Valentine, or Black Rebel Motorcycle Club produced The Secret Machines. The song "Shoot the Breeze" is pure heroin.

CMW press quote 2

That was a great set at The Neutral for Canadian Music Week. A noisy pyrotechnic freak-out, part buzz-saw no-wave, part psychedelic guitar noise, discordant riffs that grooves like a Sonic Youth-led amphetamine rush. Dynamic and rhythmic, proving that tightly wound guitar-mantras continues to work its splendid magic. Keep to your musical vision!

CMW showcase moved to new venue

Our showcase has been moved to another venue: The Neutral Lounge, the day and time remain the same: thursday march 12, 11 pm.
