Focusing on their craft, staying out of the fray, and holding fast their faith to find new ways to express the discord and delight of being alive, to turn the duality of existence into hymns we can share, Low present HEY WHAT. These ten pieces—each built around their own instantaneous, undeniable hook—are turbocharged by the vivid textures that surround them.The ineffable, familiar harmonies of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker break through the chaos like a life raft. Layers of distorted sound accrete with each new verse - building, breaking, colossal then restrained, a solemn vow only whispered. There will be time to unravel and attribute meaning to the music and art of these times, but the creative moment looks FORWARD, with teeth.

HEY WHAT is Low’s thirteenth full length release in twenty seven years, and their third with producer BJ Burton.

The Pineapple Thief  Featuring Gavin Harrison

Doors 7:00 Show 8:00
&nbsp;
British prog rock band the Pineapple Thief, led by founder and frontman Bruce Soord, have become one of the most restless rock outfits of the 21st century and, while spending years as a cult attraction, nonetheless possess a large following in Europe, Asia, and the United States. While the group's music is often likened to Radiohead's and Porcupine Tree's, the generalization falls far short in describing a constantly evolving sound that deftly balances sophisticated indie pop, theatrical rock, 21st century prog, textured electro-acoustic ambiences, and neo-psychedelia.

Born Ruffians – Juice, Squeeze & Pulp Tour

with Sham Family special guests 
Doors 7:00 Show 8:00 PM
 
Acclaimed Toronto- based <a href="https://www.bornruffians.ca/">Born Ruffians</a> are pleased to announce their 2022 JUICE, SQUEEZE &amp; PULP tour beginning April 27, 2022, in Rochester, New York; the 33-city tour in support of the band’s recent trilogy series will culminate June 25 in Winnipeg. 
 
A complete list of dates is below, and tickets are now on sale <a href="http://www.bornruffians.ca">here</a>.
 
“For thirteen years, we were on tour,” says the band’s bassist Mitch DeRosier, “our entire adult lives were spent on the road. When such a big part of you disappears, all it means is that you’re going to cherish it when it comes back - we’re grateful, anxious, and excited to have tour life return this spring and to see you all again on the road.” 
 
For the JUICE, SQUEEZE &amp; PULP tour, the band—Luke Lalonde (guitar/vocals), Mitch DeRosier (bass), and Steve Hamelin (drums)—will introduce a new fourth member, Maddy Wilde, to the lineup. 
 
Following the recording of Uncle, Duke &amp; The Chief in 2018, the band still had a batch of songs that they wanted to record, so they entered the studio without knowing what would become of them. Those prolific recording sessions churned out more and more music, resulting in a multi-album release plan: JUICE (2020), SQUEEZE (2020), and PULP (2021).
 
Formed in rural Ontario, Born Ruffians arrived on the Toronto scene in 2004 and released a self-titled EP in 2006 on XL/Warp Records. The latter released the band’s debut full-length album, Red, Yellow &amp; Blue and Say It (2010). Birthmarks (2013) and RUFF (2015) followed on Yep Roc Records and has received critical praise from NPR, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Noisey, Magnet, Under The Radar, and more.
