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 .

W of Ossington . E of Dufferin Tuesday February 27th . 8PM . PWYC (5$ suggested) . 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.

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. http://www.repair-lab.com . 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 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
