Concert Listings Roundup #304

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.

Gig of the week:

Audiopollination 72 (feat. MKL32/Anne-F Jacques/Elizabeth Millar / Craig Pedersen/Mira Martin-Gray/Mark Zurawinski / Tim Olive/Allison Cameron/William Davison) / The Tranzac (Tiki Room) 2019-06-01 (Saturday) [FB event]

The Audiopollination series continues to inspire, whether recombining local experimenters in self-curated agglomerations or hosting visiting musicians. This show, moving from the series' usual home at Array Space to The Tranzac's cozy Tiki Room, is one of the latter, welcoming Japan-based Canadian tabletop guitarist Tim Olive. Montréal's Anne-F Jacques as well as familiar faces/honorary locals Elizabeth Millar and Craig Pedersen. They'll be encountering locals MKL32, Mira Martin-Gray and Mark Zurawinski plus Allison Cameron and William Davison. Expect strange sounds rendered joyfully into music.
