bituwin and cigarette smoke

Met Ryllah (who manages itchyworms - the talented folk behind Little Monsters) and Mike Diaz (vocalist/guitarist of Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man, yep direct reference from Mulder).

Now these guys, along with Imago, Fish Trio and Matilda, are part of a multi-modal movement in the music scene. We have young people who have the Sugar Hiccup sound, play "real' jazz and alternative rock.

Do I see something between these bands and Pipeworx? Of course! We'll do numbers. Wait and see.

In the meantime, listen to them over at Freedom Bar along Anonas corner Aurora Blvd on Feb 15 (a benefit concert for orphans) and Feb 20 (for a lot of fun).

Sheesh. Now I really feel like an old fogie, given that I think of bands like The Dawn, After Image, Dean's December, Violent Playground, Introvoys and Under Blue Skies as still, somehow, new (despite the fact that they're all gone gone gone).
