OLD UGLY

We have two tremendous EP’s dropping in the next three weeks! November 30th will see Caity Fisher’s rock and roll debut, recorded live and mixed by Jom Comyn himself, titled Caity Fisher and The Final Frontier—a band consisting of OLD UGLIANS Caity, Jim (Jom Comyn), and Phil (DoT)! A couple weeks later, the ever evolving Thomas Michael aka Tom Mike aka Jaded Hipster Choir aka GHIBLI is dropping a new EP in what will result in a magnificent flurry of limbs at our huge dance party on December 17th. His new music is decidedly oriented for the dance floor so look forward to glorious sweat the smell of a billion roses, potpourri! And allow me to finish by saying that OLD UGLY extended family member HAPPY TRENDY has released his new Die Young EP this very day. It has appeared in anticipation of a European and American tour opening for Foxes In Fiction. See below.

HERE lay our shows for November. Carve them into your palm! They are all going to rule. They are all at Wunderbar. But before I tell you what’s what, let me share with you a video that a French gentlemen took it upon himself to make for our own Sugarglider‘s hit single Nobody (available here)!

AND HERE’S OUR NOVEMBER SHOWS!

13th: The Paint Movement (Toronto) / Doug Hoyer / Jessica Jalbert

The Paint Movement have put out one of my very favourite records of 2011. I play it on my show, The Ongoing Argument, on CJSR (where I first discovered the record) more often than absolutely anything else. So I had to holler at them and see if they could come play Wunderbar with some of our own. And who better than Doug and Jess, pop royalty in this town, who both have new records making maaaajor waaaaaves.

16th: Sheree Plett (Vancouver) / Tyler Butler / Jordan Norman / James Rockliff

Sheree Plett has been grinding for years. Her and her husband, Eisenhauer, have toured through Edmonton so many times I have lost count. They always put on a gorgeous show. This will be her Edmonton release of her brand new “Hello Night” record. Don’t miss it.

Facebook Event

20th: The Geese (Vancouver) / Zerbin / Ben Gorodetsky / Dylan Howard

The Geese do something very magical on their recordings, tightrope walking between a generous levity and a pensive depth. It is altogether admirable. Expect a heart lifting evening of wistful sing songs.

Facebook Event

30th: Caity Fisher & The Final Frontier (Album Launch) / Diehatzu Hijets / Sir Ma’am Ma’am

Caity Fisher is nothing short of a genius. As much as these new rock and roll songs of hers trade in the porch rocking lull of her Only The Wind recordings, the country breeze has not escaped these new jawns. Come enjoy it with a healthy heaping hand full of rock and RULE by our own Diehatzu Hijets and Jason Dublanko’s new Sir Ma’am Ma’am jammers.

Facebook Event

1st: MAPLE SIZZURP RAP FEST featuring Ghettosocks (Halifax) / Thesis Sahib (London) / Muneshine (Toronto) / Jeff Spec (Vancouver) / Timbuktu (London) / The Joe / Mitchmatic

Five of the coolest rappers in Canada are going to be in one room with your own OLD UGLY representative, The Joe and Mitchmatic. If you like rap music that doesn’t make you feel like a prick, you’ll love the MAPLE SIZZURP RAP FEST, brought to you in conjunction with Mattie Cuvilier’s own Clean-Up Yr Act Productions!

It is time we announce Mikey Maybe‘s February 3rd debut full length, Ladies Night! And what better way to build hype than a Halloween music video by Highwire Film’s Mike Robertson himself. Hush:

And while we have you, may we mention that Sunday October 30th’s show will be no small occasion, TEDDY HOLTBY will be moving back to Brooklyn but not without delivering a one hour mega show involving four distinct phases and featuring help from a dozen old uglians. This show will also see the live debut of his newest rock and roll material. Joining him are OLD UGLY powerplants Liam Trimble, Sugarglider, and Catgut. More details here.

AND LASTLY, Jessica Jalbert‘s album release was a smash success. If you missed it, catch her on Thursday November 3rd at the ARTery with Born Gold or Sunday November 13th at Wunderbar with Nevado Records’ The Paint Movement and alongside our own Doug Hoyer. Or just buy it from Blackbyrd, Permanent, or her bandcamp.

Mike Robertson, the don behind Highwire Films, has put together a new video for “Paris Green,” the single off Jessica Jalbert‘s brand new record, Brother Loyola. The full album is available now! Order it off Bandcamp or come to the release show this Friday at the Wunderbar ===> more details here.

For those who suffer from a deficiency in patience, wet your whistle with a pre-order of Jessica Jalbert’s 12″ and/or digital record! There are only 250 copies so it may turn out to be short sighted if you don’t get your foot in the door now! Click here.
