02.27.07 @ the PiNG > Aidan Baker + Building Castles Out Of Matchsticks + Greater Explosives



Winter's icy blast has finally frozen over the Great White North,
so what better way to escape Old Man Winter's harsh blast than
to check out the warm vibes emanating from the PiNG's new
digs at the Drake Hotel Underground on Tuesday February 27th.

As our recent crowds have discovered, the Drake has turned
out to be our nicest and warmest home since those fondly
remembered days at the fabled Club Nia.

Good beer on tap, attentive service, comfortable atmosphere,
three projectors, great surround sound system and an amazing
sound crew. What more could the PiNG ask for?

Well how about an early PiNG beer special? Now that the PiNG
starts earlier with our new and improved 8pm start time we
benefit from the Drake's early evening beer pricing.

There's lots of room to chill and like the old days, there's
room up top by the bar to chat and socialize.

It's a great place to space, so c'mon out on Feb. 27th
to experience the PiNG @ the Drake and show your support,
so we can continue to bring you the PiNG from this fine facility.

02.27.07 . The PiNG Presents UNDER SEE RECORDINGS'
CD RELEASE of the compilation CITIES BENEATH THE SEE

. This month the PiNG celebrates the release of the Under
See Recordings' compilation CD - "Cities Beneath The See" by
welcoming back PiNG favourites Aidan Baker and Anne Sukowski's
Building Castles Out of Matchsticks along with PiNG newcomer
Damian Valles aka Greater Explosives, all of whom have
tracks featured on the CD.

Around sets, sensehertz will be spinning tracks by artists from
Under See Recordings, Worthy Records, Arcolepsy
and Music Made By People.

Psychedelic eye candy projections will be courtesy of
our good friends from General Chaos Visuals.

Under See Recordings exists as a forum for those willing to
push the boundaries of musical experimentation. This incredible
CD compilation is strikingly eclectic as a whole, yet remains
somehow thematic through 17 tracks.

03.27.07 . The PiNG Presents REPAIR + ANACHRONIC XP
@ the UNDERGROUND downstairs @ the DRAKE HOTEL
1150 Queen St. W @ Beaconsfield . W of Ossington . E of Dufferin
Tuesday March 27th . 8PM - 11PM . PWYC (5$ suggested)

. What do you get when you cross a blushing singer with stage fright
and a pair of methodical twins? A powerhouse of tension: part boy,
part girl, and completely magnetic. A threesome known as Repair.

The techno trio Repair returns to the PiNG for the third time and
for the third year in a row. Join the musically uncompromising
twin brothers, Mat and Mark Thibideau, as they lay down the
beats behind the lush, sultry vocals of frontwoman Dawn Lewis.

. Fresh from their ALMOST LiVE performance on PiNG RADiO
comes our new friends from Quebec, Anachronic XP.

Tired and bored of traditional hip-hop, Quebec City based
Anachronic XP began their experimentations in 1999 by evolving
their music into a mix of electronic soundscapes with hip-hop
beats and patterns. Anachronic XP is a fresh breath from the Quebec
electronic scene as they perform all the beats and scapes live onstage
with synths, samplers and control boards. Guitarist JFO joined the
band last year, bringing his flavour of slide guitar, effects and
synth to the mix. http://www.myspace.com/anachronicxp
