SUMMARY:Late Hours Western Canada Tour
DESCRIPTION:LATE HOURS \nWESTERN CANADA TOUR 2025 \nMUSIC BY KARL HIRZER & JOSUÉ VALDEPEÑAS \nFILMS BY BRADEN DERENIWSKI & VICKI VAN CHAU \nSPECIAL GUEST DANIELA CINEL \nDoors 6:30 Show 7:00pm \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1234318633259 \nProminent figures in the Canadian classical music scene\, Karl Hirzer and Josué Valdepeñas perform standard works from the modern and classical repertoire in addition to original songs\, mixing electronic and acoustic instruments. Drawing from a wide variety of influences\, their music has been described as “heady and psychedelic” and “Satie meets Radiohead”. \nBased on Hirzer and Valdepeñas’ track of the same name\, Crystal Clear is an innovative and gripping music and dance film. It follows a young woman who undertakes a visceral journey through her own psyche as she reflects on both her actions and the events that will decide her fate. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Braden Dereniwski\, it features captivating performances by Kelsie Vanstone and Ashley Mae Johnston\, with choreography by Yukichi Hattori. We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and Calgary Arts Development for this film. \nFeaturing and inspired by Hirzer’s track Daphne and Desmond\, off his recent album Relaxer Distractor\, In Tandem is a short film shot on Super 8 by awardwinning filmmaker Vicki Van Chau. It is a love letter to the meaningful spaces between two cities\, where Hirzer found sources of inspiration\, nostalgia and the feeling of home. Recently it received the ‘Best Experimental’ award at the 2024 Edmonton Short Film Festival. This film is supported by the Alberta Media Arts Alliance Society and the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers. \nTraversing the multi-sensory landscape\, Canadian artist Daniela Cinel O’Fee creates immersive experiences to investigate the flux between acoustic and visual realms. With a Bachelor of Music degree from University of Victoria\, Daniela has worked as a pianist\, director\, composer and educator in British Columbia for over forty years. Informed by her sonic curiosity\, her practice extends the act of listening beyond traditional music making toward experimental intermedia using repurposed instrument parts\, obsolete media machines\, sculptural installation\, field recording\, performative soundwalks and graphic scores. \nRuntime: Approx. 130 minute performance including 1 intermission. \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1234318633259

SUMMARY:Miesha & the Spanks with Minx
DESCRIPTION:Miesha and The Spanks are back in Kamloops with local buds MINX! \nDoors 7:30pm // Music 8pm $20 Adv // $25 Door \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1254110441089 \nWhere have all the riot grrrls gone? You ask – Miesha & The Spanks answer. If you’ve got a yearning for flashy yet classic hard rock\, look no further – this Calgary-based duo has the guitar hero-worshipping\, face melting\, whisky belting sound that you’ve been seeking. A modern singer/guitarist and beloved fixture on the local scene\, frontwoman Miesha Louie is the integral driving force behind Miesha & The Spanks. A mixed-Secwépemc artist living in Treaty 7 Territory\, she’s devoted her entire career to inventing and playing instrumentally brilliant melodies that unleash her passions and her full-throated vocal tones. As a result\, Miesha & The Spanks have become a tighter and more muscular version of themselves with each new release. Miesha’s riffs are as quintessentially rock as they come. Her anarchic\, femme-powered vibes causing audiences to erupt in devil-horn-raising celebration of razor-sharp hooks delivered with fire and flare. Percussionist Sean Hamilton (an accomplished singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist in his own right) is her psychic counterpart\, intuitively punctuating her soulful choruses with a pounding intensity that simultaneously elevates heart rates and ceiling rafters. From their inception\, Miesha & The Spanks has chronicled their ascent through a post-punk modernist lens that speaks of a love affair with early-nineties underground and grunge bands. 2021 Nominees for Rock Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards\, the proudly DIY outfit packs a sound befitting a group from Portland or Seattle. With a resume that boasts performing as direct support to Queens Of The Stone Age\, Death From Above 1979\, Hot Snakes\, Propagandhi\, Pack AD\, White Lung\, Reignwolf and countless others\, Miesha & The Spanks can be seductive and stirring\, or gritty and urgent depending on what the situation calls for. Whether entertaining the heavier/doomier crowd or belting out epic rock heartbreakers\, their musical journeys remain firmly grounded in punchy riffs and catchy choruses. With all of this poetic leather-jacket wickedness in its prime\, comparisons are inevitable; Kim Gordon; PJ Harvey\, Joan Jett\, Melissa Auf der Maur\, Sleater-Kinney\, St. Vincent – you get the idea – it’s all expected\, but never taken for granted. Naturally gifted with a knack for relentlessly channeling the garage rock greats of yore\, Miesha & The Spanks prefer to be perfectly frank. They don’t shy away from the darkness. Armed with a black sense of humour and a serious howl. Nothing is beyond their grasp. Their next full album “Unconditional Love In Hi-Fi” will be released on Mint Records on April 14 this year. \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1254110441089 \n+++++++ \n“infectious production smashes down our self-doubts and urges us to dream as big as we want.” – EARMILK \n“a sizeable dosage of feel-good vibes peppered with a dash of teenage angst” – Wonderland Magazine \n“…blistering guitar work and motorik drum fills” – Northern Transmissions “Gritty\, grungy\, rock.” – Alan Cross
