Pucumber Sasssquatch Family Band

A bunch of vintage sprouts fell into an enormous sauce and dissolved into a cacophony of riffs picante. Nobody was looking and the pizza oven barfed out a buffet of compost-math-punk dance party dementia. A bizarre seizure of frenetic flash fry smileicons lets a chakratic tickle-fest win in an armwrestle while the dishwasher breakdances on a giant electric fruit roll-up that’s on sale. Bake 25 mins and you’ve got the Pucumber Sasssquash Family Band.

Bonnie Trash

Guelph’s Bonnie Trash is a dark and moody art-pop trio led by Sara and Emma BV and rounded out by Chris Worden. Their debut EP, Ezzelini’s Dead, delves into the Italian folklore surrounding Ezzelino’s III da Romano, a medieval tyrant who purportedly ate his enemies and neighbouring peasants. Powerful, engaging, eerie — and one of Guelph’s best.

Corpusse

The Toronto/Montreal shock-opera legend has been shivering spines since the 80’s and we’re excited to bring this cult legend back to Guelph. Corpusse has been described as “a cross between spoken word and pro wrestling” and that pretty much hits the mark. Get ready to step in the enigmatic and disturbed reality of Corpusse.

I Feel Sorry

From the haunted house at 42 Jane St comes a brand new gang of ghouls. Spiked with punkin spice and flavours of Dinosaur Jr., Built to Spill, and the noisier side of grunge, Guelph’s I Feel Sorry will thrill, chill, and amaze.

Sandro Perri

Constellation Records’ Sandro Perri is a musician that truly warrants that annoying categorization of “undefinable.” Seamlessly merging elements of folk, jazz, art pop, rock, experimental, improv and much more, Sandro Perri is incredibly unique. This show will mark the release of ‘In Another Life’, his first new solo album since the acclaimed ‘Impossible Spaces’ from 2011.

Isla Craig

Isla Craig is a multi-dimensional vocalist and songwriter living and working in Toronto, ON. With pointed attention towards vocal delivery and melodic play, her music is underpinned by languid psyche blues rhythms and arrangements that tumble into trance states. She dropped one of our favorite records of the year (“The Becoming”) and is set to drop one of our favorite sets of the year, too.

Evan Gordon’s Carnival of Fear

Guelph’s haunted mastermind returns with a demonic new stage show. If you entered the Fun House at Kazoo! Fest last year, then you know Evan doesn’t do anything less than epic. — get ready for the Carnival of Fear!

PERSONS

PERSONS is a communal, primal force of glitter, glam and grit that creates high-energy, multi-media performances featuring dancers, video and live instrumentation.

The music hinges on obscene juxtapositions that pair lush samples with white noise, obscure vinyl melodies with unpalatable digital-age pop textures, danceable beats with rhythmic destabilization.

Bile Sister

Bile Sister is the powerful, experimental, avant-pop project dreamed-up by Julie Reich (Toronto) and now features Heloise Simone George in the live outfit along with a rotating cast of talented musician guests. Get ready for some chain-rattling, hard-hitting, dark synth pop.

DJ Noah23 & DJ Sensi Boy

Guelph’s dark demigods of Goth Trap, DJ Noah23 & Sensi Boy will be freaking the speakers all night, bringing the best in haunted hip hop, ghoulish goth, and everything in between.
