Jon Cohen Ex, Couteau Papillon and Black River Soul

$10 – DOORS AT 8 PM: JON COHEN EX Touring with Wax Mannequin, and interested in touring, new instruments, one man bands, flowers, BBQ, and riding the great beast of rock, Jon Cohen Ex have been making the psych-rock/trip-flow rounds for years with boots filled with led cred. With influential accent-notes from Beatle, ELO, ENO, Bowie, Ween, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Fugazi, Flaming Lips, Stones, Of Montreal, Ty Segall, Simon and Garfunkel, TV Girl, Alan Parsons Project, Guided By Voices, Gorillaz, Blur, Pavement, Dungen, Broadcast, and then some, this outfit works hard to keep the music fresh and boundary-bashing. COUTEAU PAPILLON Couteau Papillon is an art rock ensemble from Montreal, creating original songs that equally invite introspection and fill the dance floor. In the group’s music, rich vocal harmonies blend with syncopated guitar rhythms and synth lines to form an evocative portrait: the strange and the familiar are woven together into modern fables told by a unique and contemporary musical imagination. BLACK RIVER SOUL Influenced by Allmand Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bad Company, Government Mule and the Black Crowes, this Ottawa southern comfort rock outfit pulls no sonic punches with its true grit flavour.
