THE COLLINWOOD (MYATIN RECORDS) DOLY TORO (ROCK/INDIE/ALTERNATIVE)
The Collingwood mesh cinema-driven, minor-key melodies with elements of post-rock and progressive-soul, creating circuitous compositions, both contemplative and severe. The Collingwood is renowned for its impetuous, harshly-lit live performances, equal parts drama and ass-shake. |

CHALLENGER. HEAD OF SKULLS) PETE (CHALLENGER. SUMMER SORCERER) MIKE (FIN FANG FOOM) JOHN (CALTROP HAZERAI) BEN (BEN DAVIS BAND. MILEMARKER. BATS AND MICE) Helmet’s forward fusion of metal, punk, indie-rock, and jazz has inspired countless bands--many that have come to define their own disparate threads of heavy rock. The HELMET sound sparked a new brand of metal, crossing all traditional music boundaries, paving the way for bands like Chevelle, Deftones, Killswitch Engage, Norma Jean and Silverchair, among many others. The New York Times called HELMET “a band that made important connections between indie-rock and metal…” (September 12, 2004). |

TUESDAY JUNE 24
There aren't many groups in North America who could lay claim to possibly 18 different genres of music, but Toronto's Enter The Haggis is one of them. To engage this quintet is to indulge rock, fusion, bluegrass, traditional Celtic fare, agitpop, folk, even Latin flavors. Sounds awfully confused, right? Wrong. ETH is one of those rare jewels that actually pulls it all off as if to own everything. (UFOmusic.com) |

LARRY KEEL & NATURAL BRIDGE (BLUEGRASS/ACOUSTIC) POSSUM CREEK
Batten down the hatches or prepare to be blown away in the perfect storm, a raging musical maelstrom of swirling innovations. The extended forecast is calling for tonal tornadoes of epic proportions made more dangerous by syncopated sound cyclones scattered with bursts of colossal chord changes and intermittent harmonies. For those in the direct path of this vast vortex of energy, expect to be further battered by sonic tsunamis fed by raging rhythms. Keel advisories will remain in effect until after the second set. |

MATTHEW GARRISON JEFF SIPE ALEX MACHACEK
This formidable power trio of Austrian guitarist Alex Machacek, 5-string electric bassist Matthew Garrison and amazing drummer Jeff Sipe is impossibly intense, dripping with staggering virtuosity and fertile ideas and seething with the kind of raucous improvisational abandon that we haven't seen since the heyday of Tribal Tech. |

MONDAY JULY 1
GROUNDATION (YOUNG TREE RECORDS)
Groundation is bringing classic roots music into the serious times of the 21st century. Their sound is an organic fusion of Roots Reggae, heavy Funk/Jazz fusion, and transcendental Dub; their live shows are synonymous with high-energy positive communal vibrations, combining the message and determination of the best Reggae music has to offer with perpetually fresh Jazz-inspired improvisation...Truly not to be missed. |
