LE GUESS WHO? pre-party with

CLUES (Montreal, Constellation records)

Clues was founded in the summer of 2007 by Alden Penner (one-half of Unicorns) and Brendan Reed (Endless Forever, Arcade Fire). In 2008, Clues recruited friends Ben Borden, Lisa Gamble, and Nick Scribner from the Montreal art and music scenes.
During live shows and on recordings, the band share and trade-off on their extensive collection of instruments and create a hopeful, urgent music that expands Montreal’s (already diverse) pop music lexicon, with references to post-punk and experimental music traditions. Clues’ concerts incorporate multiple drummers, a Commodore 64, and an OLPC.

Afterwards people will be dancing to tunes chosen by Utrechts most famous DJ WIEKES

Almost forgot… We are paying so…

More hot words on that next week when we are still hungover from the incredible pre-party!!!

One of our favorite venues here in our beautifull lil’ hometown Utrecht could get in some serious trouble since the city’s planning on cutting down their funding. As always, there’s quite a backstory attached to this plan and to be honest, things are smelling a bit fishy. Read all about it at 3voor12.
Over the years Utrecht has developed a healthy and diverse musicscene and Tivoli played a major part in this. Please show your support for this great venue and sign the partition they’ve opened on their site.

‘A Black House, A Coloured Home’, the second full-length album by We vs. Death will  be released the 11th of April in Tivoli de Helling. Crazy rumours are spreading that these instrumental post-rockers actually started singing. Can it be true?!

Come and listen to two exclusive preview tracks. Read the rest of this entry »
