We are thrilled to announce that Wey Ya Call Dat Ting by John Orpheus will be featured in the trailer for and the first episode of CBC Gem’s Virgins television series. Here is the series description: “Too provocative for their African parents and too shy for Canada’s biggest city, Virgins follows the lives of four 20-something year old East African women straddling two cultural spheres, navigating adulthood as milennials, love and relationships as virgins and dodging the Aunties they see along the way.” Thanks to good friend Warren Bray for the great ears and creator Aden Abebe for the opportunity. Tune in!
We are excited to announce that The Confidence Emperors will be presenting a triple bill at The Garrison in Toronto on October 13th featuring John Orpheus, Sam Casey and Alex Exists. John combines hip-hop swagger, Afrobeat energy and dancehall rhythms to create a sound built on big catchy hooks. His rabble-rousing live shows are filled with audience participation, chanting and impromptu dance-offs. Sam Casey’s starkly honest music demonstrates that, as an artist, she is incredibly confident in articulating her personal life experiences through songwriting. Her “goosebumps” voice will send shivers down your spine. Alex Exists is fascinated by pop culture and his music is inspired by hyper surrealism with an acid tongue planted firmly in his cheek. His musical signature is his unique sonic touches, drum heavy rhythms and classic “pop through a blender” melodies. How can this live show be anything other than a can’t miss event?!

Today, we announce that The Wilderness of Manitoba will be performing at The Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto on October 5th with special guests Robinson Kirby. It will be a night to celebrate the band’s music and their most recent album, Farewell To Cathedral. It will also be a night to remember Adam Balsam.
Here is a statement from the band: “The Wilderness of Manitoba’s upcoming show at The Horseshoe Tavern comes with mixed emotions. Just a little under a year ago, the band was preparing to unveil their new record Farewell To Cathedral live on the very same stage when they received the tragic news that their beloved friend and bandmate, drummer Adam Balsam, had passed away. To honour Adam’s memory, the band will be performing the same set list that they had planned to do before his passing which includes a number of songs from Farewell To Cathedral as well as a diverse selection of songs from The Wilderness of Manitoba’s back catalogue.”
