Nobody Waved Goodbye - Slow Dance for Edgar Sibble [part 2]

A recasting of a show originally slated for the (now-shuttered) Bar Orwell, this night brought some improvised sounds to the basement at sports bar The Dock Ellis. The No-Ro Room (as that basement space is known) has a bit of a rep as an occasional spot for punk-leaning shows, so this was a bit of an experiment in itself, with hopefully more to follow.

As for this set, this was a flowering of a grouping first tentatively explored a little while back, with Gabe Girard's percussion and Mike Lynn's bass interrupted by Joe Strutt's synths/samples/loops — and now augmented with trumpet from Marilyn Yogarajah and moral support from a companionable octopus. Taking their name from a classic slice of Toronto's cinematic history, there were some atmospheric explorations and mysterious sonics at play here.
