Out of this Spark (OOTS) returns to Pop Montreal to share music from our label artists and our friends. Since our last visit, The D’Urbervilles have been placing the final touches on their next album. Forest City Lovers released their highly acclaimed new album Carriage. Evening Hymns joined the OOTS fold and will spend part of the Fall conquering Europe. Light Fires was born as the beats duo of Reg Vermue (Gentleman Reg) and James Bunton (Ohbijou). Tasseomancy morphed from the gothic remains of Ghost Bees.

In addition to our showcase on Saturday night, OOTS will also be co-presenting the Saturday Pop Montreal BBQ at Notman House with our friends at Mint Records and Fuzzy Logic Recordings. More details on that to come, but it is going to be epic. Piñata epic.

Friday May 7th

Out of this Spark presents ...

KASHKA (Kat of Forest City Lovers) - http://www.myspace.com/yeskashka
Jenny Omnichord - http://www.myspace.com/jennyomnichord

Tranzac - 292 Brunswick Avenue - Toronto ON - 10 PM - PWYC

KASHKA is the ongoing project of Toronto based songwriter Kat Burns. While she keeps busy with her main project, Forest City Lovers, sometimes songs come along that need their own warm blanket to be wrapped in.

Jenny Omnichord is the alter ego of 25 year-old Jenny Mitchell, also a member of notable indie bands The Burning Hell and The Barmitzvah Brothers. While Jenny plays many instruments, the omnichord, forgotten marvel of the 1980’s, is her first true love. With two critically acclaimed albums under her belt – Cities of Gifts and Ghosts, and Charlotte or Otis: Duets for Children, their Parents, and Other People Too – Jenny Omnichord continues to captivate new audiences with her skills in unlocking her instrument’s secrets, and her trademark insightful songwriting. Her new album – her first with a full-band - is set to be released May of 2010.
