DIY noise legends @102_i.o @pet.retina @voidpuppet make their return to Windsor at @meteorwindsor as part of their annual cross-Canada tour. The last time they were in town I slashed my finger open right before the show, but didn’t want to cancel so I taped it shut and did a fully improvised set with @crudeflame . We’re gonna try that again but with all the fingers this time. We also have one of my favourite emerging bands in the scene, @beautyindrowning playing some noisy math rock.

Pet Retina and i.o return to Winnipeg on Sunday, May 24th for a special outdoor show with Princess Dasha and Thomas Toews + During. Text 204-330-5507 for the address—don’t miss this springtime ritual.

Local YIMBY reporting here from “Victoria, BC,” AKA @gigtoria , where I live now. Between a 10PM noise bylaw, an aging workforce, earthquakes, and a restless underground scene, there’s plenty of friction here, so I put together a scene report for @newfeelingcoop ’s TECTONICS issue. 🔗 link in bio 🫨

dearest gigtorians, i am so sorry i lied to you all about there being three shows this saturday april 4, 2026…there are actually SIX FUCKING SHOWS this saturday april 4, 2026 and if you don’t go to them all you are false and a poser (jk i love you). check these other gigs feat @jisei_grind @pet.retina @slingjawtitle @csillasstarisgone @blacktreacleproject @pin.dee.in @busy_eating @sunshower.music @charmedtheband and more. rock over london, rock on @gigtoria - wesley willis
