Robot (Kat) Report
The storms just won't stop in Calgary. None the less I danced away the doldrums this weekend and got the juices for my next zine flowing again (it's been at least a year). Pretty pumped.
Is anyone going to be in town for Sled Island? Let me know. CJSW is presenting an awesome show headlined by Duchess Says with Grave Babies, Teledrome and Sissys! I'm super stoked for everything though (Thurston Moore, Willis Earl Beal, Terry Malts, Yamankaka // Sonic Titans, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera). But before that action happens there are more wonderfully fun noisy shows this week including the inaugural release from the No Face Records label and my favourite Alberta industrial act iVardensphere. Good week.
