Matt Mays & El Torpedo is Matt Mays (guitar, vocals), Jay Smith (guitar, vocals), Andy Patil (bass, vocals), and Tim Jim Baker (drums). Since forming in 2003 to perform shows in support of Matt's self-titled debut album the band has toured Canada countless times as well as performing numerous dates in the US and the UK. From the first listen, it's obvious that they have that indefinable element that carries a group's music beyond the sum of its parts. "It's one of those things that you couldn't really construct with anyone," claims Mays' of the band's chemistry. "It's a really natural solidification in music of four friends who like, listen to and laugh at all the same things." "...One of Canada's most exciting live rock acts." - MacLean's "One dazzling set and you're a convert - that's how it works." - NOW Magazine, Toronto

Uncle Monk is an alt-country indie-bluegrass duo featuring Tommy Ramone on vocals, mandolin, guitar, banjo and dobro, and Claudia Tienan on vocals, guitar and bass. The duo’s music is rooted in old-time and bluegrass influences, to which they have added unique musical textures to create a sound with a new sensibility. “We are working with what feels natural to us.” says Ramone. “We are making use of string-band instrumentation along with alternative rock flavorings. There is a similarity between punk and old time music, both are home brewed as opposed to schooled, both have earthy energy, and there is a certain cool in old time music that is found in the best alternative acts.” click http://knittingfactory.com/show.php?event_id=108076 for ticketweb and show info!

The band further distinguishes itself by using the electric violin as a lead instrument, with violinist Spencer Swain adding swirling textures and searing melodies that range from the pretty to the profane.

Plants and Animals

Like all great flora and fauna, Montreal trio Plants and Animals know that evolution is a simultaneously delicate and rough endeavor. It's important to have solid roots and serious chops (which this bands has in folds), but you've also got to know when to go out on an exciting new limb that's just steady enough to blow minds. And that's pretty much what they do. The soil might promise bluegrass tempos or classic seventies guitar tones (post-classic-rock?), but by the blossoms you've got perfect pop songs or full blown orchestral might...and one mighty serious beast. Plants and Animals are two friends who have been playing together since they were 12, and a third they met in the hallowed music department halls of Montreal's Concordia University. Lead vocalist and guitarist Warren Spicer is easily recognizable in Montreal as an increasingly sought-after producer, guitar hero, mustachioed gambler. Matthew Woodley (aka the Woodman) handles the rolling backend of the trio on drums with Graceland-like soul (and headband), and Nicolas Basque rounds out the group on guitar and bass, having abandoned his acclaimed career as a theatre composer for imminent rock glory. Rapidly gaining a reputation for their ferociously large live shows, Plants and Animals have recently shared bills with Wolf Parade, Patrick Watson, Akron/Family, Calexico and Iron & Wine, Andrew Bird, and Grizzly Bear.
