BOOM BY BOOM | Art Opening | This Thursday
When: 28/6/12 | Where: Studio 835 | Time: 10:30pm | What: In the Broadbent Sisters’ first collaborative exhibition, the sisters present a fireworks show in pen. This mixed-media show features YouTube screen-grabs of fireworks re-imagined through the mundane blue ink of grocery lists, diaries and exams. The sisters’ meditative process creates a vital and reflective series of large-scale works expressing a unique sense of pop spirituality. Explosions o!f light from beneath dark expansive spaces reveal fire and magic: spectacles turning to dust, stroke by stroke, boom by boom.

When: 29/6/12 | Where: WestJet Stage at Harbourfront Centre | Time: 9pm | What: The genre-mashing duo play their first hometown show since performing at this year’s South by South West Music Festival in Austin, Texas and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California. Their much acclaimed ‘Alignment’ mixtape is available for free download on their official website and can be streamed for free in its entirety at http://www.soundcloud.com/theairplaneboys.

 

When: 29/6/12 | Where: Sneaky Dee’s | Time: 10pm | What: When we started this little series on a cold December night in 2010, we did so alongside our favourite boys in the city’s music community at a little bar that no longer exists. Since then, both the band and the series have grown considerably. Smells like the perfect recipe for a little reunion. Special guest DJ: THE WOODEN SKY. As always, Bobby Kimberley will be picking the jams before and after.
