Concert Listings Roundup #265

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.

Gigs of the week:

Intersection 1/The Music Gallery's Departures Series (feat. Suzanne Ciani [film + concert] / Louise Campbell) / Revue Cinema 2018-08-31 (Friday) [FB event]

Intersection Day 2 (feat. The Cosmic Range / TONSTARTSSBANDHT / Nadja / Insect Ark / Pantayo / Craig Dunsmuir's Dun Dun Band / Contact Contemporary Music / Deenzi / Allison Cameron / Tina Pearson [sound installation]) / Yonge-Dundas Square 2018-09-01 (Saturday – free! outside! all-ages + family-friendly! manifestation of strange sounds in unusual spaces!) [FB event]

Intersection Day 3 (feat. Dunn/Haas / Roughhousing / junctQín) / Canadian Music Centre 2018-09-02 (Sunday) [FB event]

Profiting again from its association with Burn Down the Capital's Tad Michalak, Intersection is once more bringing a day of joyfully-skewed sounds to the ad-blasted concrete valley at Yonge-Dundas Square. A totally superb day of free performances is surrounded by two fab ticketed events — though if you haven't managed to grab one yet for Susan Ciani's quadraphonic performance you might be scrambling at this point. The hidden gem is Sunday's comedown session at stately Chalmers House, celebrating the new duo album from Doc Dun and Andy Haas.
