Q: WTF?
A: This is event is a mix between a music event and a performance event. The main focus is on originality. Groups, bands, individuals, people, and artists have played songs they wrote or they improvised, people made noise, and people acted in characters, they spoke and sang as different people as if they were the same. All sort these things have happened and will surely happen again.

Starting off with Hide and Seek Show and Tell, there will be ten or more 15 minute performances by local musicians and performance artists. The Canadian Romantic will be headlining and hosting for part of the night. SMS Crew will be the house DJ.

Nice Wet Dirt Uk review

Having made music for bunches of years I’ve gotten lotsa lotsa great (and nasty and not so great too) press, though virtually ignored by Exclaim Magazine the so-called “Canada’ Music Authority” distributed free through Canada, I have been receiving good notices from countries I’ve never been to- such as this reputable rave, link here, scrolll down to WET DIRT:
http://terrascope.co.uk/Reviews/Rumbles_January_13.htm
“Coming across like an early seventies, slightly-fried, band of freaks, the rather excellent Wet Dirt sound suitably messed up on their album “Self Sabotage, The Early Years” with the stoned groove of “Bad Choices” setting out their stall with the chorus “Bad choices, made some bad choices, gonna make some more”. Add to this fine guitar playing, a solid rhythm section,and  an ear for melody, and you have a perfect opening song and statement. Moving on, “The Chill Out Man” is weird and creepy, nonsensical word play, and a crawling guitar line creating a strange atmosphere, the song sounding like something Zappa could have created. As the album progresses the band get weirder, louder, more interesting by turns with “Hot Pink” managing all three at once. Elsewhere, “Invalids” is post-punk noise, angular guitar and an individual vocal delivery adding to the tension of the lyrics reminding me of Pere Ubu, whilst “Of Felt” is a song about the tactile pleasures of felt, as it should be. If you are searching for something different, energetic, angry and weird then this should hit the spot, a minor classic. (www.inyrdisk.com)”
