FEAST IN THE EAST # 28


FEAST IN THE EAST is a monthly east end music, food & installation series.

This month features dinner by Dan Bedard.


MARINE DREAMS (http://youvechangedrecords.bandcamp.com/track/well-get-her-back-in-your-arms)
Ian Kehoe (Attack In Black) creates folk inspired pop ballads with his evolving ensemble Marine Dreams. Music from the country somehow lost in the city. Honest sentiments, hope & the expression of something so small & close, that it appears gigantic.

L CON (http://lconontheinternet.tumblr.com/)
The ever transforming project of Lisa Conway (Del Bel) mixes organic string textures, samples & drum machine electronics coated in the silky voices of a choir lead by Miss Conway herself. Languid lounge music rhythms intermingle with draw out folk forms, informed by a sense of classical composition. Conway's voice moves trough the notes as if wrapping them in a present. Her songs are concise, but never to the point of lacking emotion. Sparking the perfect balance between electronic & acoustic sounds, this is sure to be an inspiring performance by an ever evolving mind.

ISLA CRAIG & IVY MAIRI (http://islacraig.blogspot.ca/ &http://ivymairi.com/)
Two of Toronto's most inspiring singers, songwriters & soul sisters preform a special set of duets. Drawing from folk traditions and neo-soul revivalism, these ladies create music that is both powerful and delicate. Their voices dance like perfect partners, swaying with a careless abandon, only true sisters can posses.

LES HEURES
Self described "no wave surf" trio of D. Alex Meeks (Hooded Fang, Clarinet Panic), Lendl Barcelos & Jason Doell play tightly knit improvised music. Often angular, repetitive grooves morph rhythms into new forms. Never a dull moment, as this trio constructs & deconstructs itself creating the guise of composed structure encapsulating a mutating jenga tower of notes & phrases. A not to be missed rare appearance, that may not reoccur for some time as these world travellers are soon set to depart.
