. THIS SATURDAY! March 31st IMU presents ATTICS AND CELLARS, DARKBLUEWORLD & PRAIRIE CAT @ The BACKSTAGE LOUNGE on Granville Island (1585 Johnston St.) . 9pm / $10 - Get your advance tickets online at http://www.imuproductions.com/tix
ATTICS AND CELLARS are the local "baroque pop" act Sparrow operating under the equally meaningless mantle of "cinematic chamber folk". A string trio playing by ear, an upright piano and esoteric percussion, this is progressive pop that takes more from Vangelis than Peter Gabriel. Easy on the eyes too! http://www.inflightmusic.com
DARKBLUEWORLD - With unusual rhythmic textures and an uncompromising approach to music, DarkBlueWorld constructs songs that are direct yet sophisticated in their lyrical and musical conception, speaking with courage and conviction. Often acerbic and darkly satirical, DarkBlueWorld's music is emotionally layered with subtly complex harmonic and rhythmic turns, combining artful simplicity, originality and inherent beauty. Their culturally engaged, profoundly melancholic songs intelligently communicate the complexities of human experience, "visceral and enraged and yet with tenderness and naked vulnerability." (The Georgia Straight) http://www.darkblueworld.ca
PRAIRIE CAT is a one man bedroom-band turned rock project. Cary Pratt, with help from friends Dan Moxon (Bend Sinister), Scott August (French Paddleboat), Rob Iannone, and guest Laura Smith bring the music from the closet to the stage. Rhodes, drums, guitar, bass, trumpet, and percussion...what more do you want? http://www.myspace.com/prairiecat
