Crushing Death & Grief

EARTHBALL
Edges have got to be edges. Push at them, but don’t smooth them off. We need edges. Vancouver Island’s Earthball are right there at them, stretching, jostling, and poking. Striving against the prevailing mundanity the band is a project of totalimprov with an unsettled lineup, committed to complete psychedelic spontaneous composition. The result? Sprawling, zoned-out jams of wild horns, freely crunching guitars, syrupy beats, unrestrained fx, and amorphous vocalisations. Earthball are a relentless tornado of elemental energy, railing against the tedious but with an aggressively positive intent, surfing the same waves as folks like Sunburned Hand Of The Man, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Sly & The Family Drone, and No Neck Blues Band. Come close to the edge of the Earthball and prepare to get scorched.

HEXAKAIDECAGON
Rumours about Hexakaidecagon have been seeping out of unexpected places. They are the Ruby Slippers, the Grand Ole Opry and The House on the Rock. Hexakaidecagon is an upside-down power couple, they are a whirlwind survey of knocking in the night and rushing tides.  A typical concert performance could include an array of percussion sourced from a dump, glossolalic jibber-jabber, a radio telescope, long lists spoken with big voices, and FaceTime calls to Mom & Dad. Hexakaidecagon is a duo that shares band members with Benicio del Trainwreck, Asparagus Piss Raindrop, Dome Riders, Peeesseye, etc. They are absolutely thrilled to welcome situations in which possibilities overpower intentions.
