The bitchin' sessions

Our last show at the Gladstone Hotel, Art Bar, the webcast with live streaming audio to the Internet did not work. So people have been asking when we are going to try it again.

Right now! You can access the live audio stream after 8:00 p.m. on November 13.

This live event is PWYC at the Gladstone Hotel, Art Bar. If you feel like making a donation, you can do that either by online credit card or PayPal.

If you are here listening, you can send me a comment. Thanks.

There are some special treats in store for the Tuesday, November 13 show at the Gladstone Art Bar. Mike Hansen will be doing his turntable thing with ATM and the Tom Glenne 5.5 will do a set. Noah Zacharin (one "c") will be sitting in with the bitchin' group, since Rod Campbell is on hiatus.

The Tom Glenne 5.5 have been for about ten years. varying wildly in instrumentation and players - it's always made music which hovers on the edge of chaos, ducking walking on Calgary bar tables, playing the red light district in Amsterdam, busking at Yonge and Dundas, just toured across from Victoria as a duo with Paul Kolinski (woodchoppers/woodshed orchestra) on kit. a decade of playing together means they can turn on a dime as a duo - this will be their fifteenth show on the tour, and the first back in Toronto in 11 months. That spells "bring the kids" (according to Tom, anyway).
