The Wrecking Ball: Autumn Edition

Saturday, October 22, 2011 - 8:00pm

Trash Palace
89 B Niagara Street
Toronto, ON

Golden Spruce Entertainment presents a mixed media event featuring performances by heavy metal bands and short story writers. There will also be an video component, with films being projected behind the performers.

READERS:

Jessica Westhead's recent collection of short fiction, And Also Sharks (Cormorant Books 2011), knocked everyone's socks off. She writes about mundane, wholesome people in a way that is deeply intimate and unsettling. Sweet mistress of the sucker punch.

Jamie Popowich once wore a terrifying bunny mask to one of Natalie Zed and Eugenia Catroppa's parties. He wore it all night, drinking through a straw, and talking to no one. His newest collection, Metraville (Insomniac Press 2011), is going to be a doozy.

BANDS:

Kosmograd have been called progressive, post-metal, post-hardcore, sludge, and post-punk. They are crushing and weird, and play with light and dark textures in their sound, tenderness mixed with violence. They like dinosaurs and outer space. See http://kosmograd.bandcamp.com/.

Black Faxes are heavy, gritty, and nerdy enough to refer to themselves as level 70 orc-mages in their bio. They fuse punk and metal brilliantly, while making capes and wizardry dangerous. See http://blackfaxes.bandcamp.com/.

Event runs from 8 to 11pm.
