Friends, I have so much going on this month of May! Hopefully some of it will be of interest. Every Tuesday night I am deejaying at the Beaver in Torotno, Cananda (1192 Queen West) playing some of my wildest albums (including an array of whistling records) as well as a midnight candlelight recitation by The Canadian Romantic. What are recitations? Intense spoken reflections of the soul in a romantic manner. We are here to help you get through this mortal life.
There is an art auction Benefit called Multiplier happening at/for Mercer Union, Wednesday May 11th. I don't have any art in it but I will be hosting it and it will be fast paced! If you want to see some of my art I have been regularly adding quick n dirty drawings to my THIS IS CANADIAN GLAM Tumblr: http://thisiscanadianglam.tumblr.com/
Also the NEW HORIZZZONS art booklet (with art by me and Michael Comeau who designed it and had it gorgeously risograph printed at ColourCode Printing) and music EPis available at various stores such as Parkdale Platters, Likely General and The Beguiling in Toronto as well as through our fine distributor, order here: http://www.tediumhouse.com/artists/new-horizzzons

Art For Eternity

Rock & Rule
Clive A. Smith 1983, 77min PG, Animation
With original songs by Blondie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick and Earth Wind & Fire.
The classic cult Canadian "animated post-apocalyptic rock ‘n’ roll sci-fi fantasy mutant musical" !!
Set in a post-apocalyptic future, humans have been wiped out and animals have mutated into humanoid creatures after being exposed to radiation from nuclear fallout. Angel, Omar and their band strive to be recognized in Ohmtown but the Legendary evil super rocker Mok kidnaps Angel to Nuke York where he plans to use her unique voice in a demon summoning against her will. Omar, Dizzy and Stretch steal a cop car and head to Nuke York to try to save their buddy Angel.
Rock & Rule was Toronto based animation house Nelvana's first and only animated feature. The original story was derived from a 1978 TV special, produced by Nelvana, called “The Devil and Daniel Mouse.” The film utilized over 300 hand animators and relatively few computer images were used as computer-created graphics and animation were still in their infancy at the time. Blondie, Cheap Trick, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and Earth, Wind, & Fire provide original songs that were then animated, the music and lyrics woven into the scenes of the film. These exclusive songs, including a collaboration between Blondie and Cheap Trick, were never released on a soundtrack.
Opening for the film will be Toronto's favourite "Canadian Glamrock" band NEW HORIZZZONS. Featuring Robert Dayton (Canned Hamm, The Canadian Romantic, July Fourth Toilet), Craig Daniels (Leather Uppers, Tijuana Bibles) and Michael Comeau (LSDoubleDCup, the comic book Hellberta, etc).
