U.S. Girls is the creative force of a lone American woman, Meghan Remy. Since 2007 she has pursued her minimalist aesthetic in music and visual art alike with a militant, by-any-means-necessary attitude. With an eye for collage regardless of medium, her music has touched upon genres as diverse as experimental four track recording, torch songs, Springsteen covers, and an arty Hip-Pop sensibility as defined on her most recent EP - Free Advice Column, a collaboration with fellow Torontonian Onakabazien.
Petra Glynt is the solo project of Alexandra Mackenzie (Pachamama, Dentata, Wet Nurse, Romo Roto, + Machetes). The music gathers together aspects of her background as a drummer and trained vocalist, employing heavy percussion, vocal looping, and sample-based sound collage: composed with a range of instruments from synths to kazoos, and from bells to gongs. In likeness with her visual art practice, Alexandra finds freedom and comfort in the infinite world of composition as synesthetic representations of colour, form, and rhythm with lyrics that speak to what is an increasingly conflicted society and the cost of our dependence on a consumer and capital-driven system on our planet and its people.
See DJ Kiki Leaks in Walker Court before the bands and DJ Brendan Canning in Galleria Italia all night long.
