TWM and Handlebar are getting loud and dirty with a wicked night featuring 4 of the better garage/punk rock bands going in and around Toronto right now. Starting early with Bardos ex Cursed Arrows and raging all the way through to YEAST LORDS with special guest bass player Antony East. Expand for full info, links etc:

Bardos: https://www.facebook.com/bardosmusic at 9:40:

For years Cursed Arrows were favourites of Two Way Monologues and also one of the most criminally underappreciated touring indie bands in Canada. Now Cursed Arrows is done for the time being and Bardos has emerged from the ashes. They have an absolutely monster American tour coming up and a Canadian one to follow and if you listen to the hauntingly powerful psyched garage-punk songs up on their bandcamp one can only wonder how far it will go. Get in at the ground level, don't be late!

Jesse and the boys have been asking to play a show with YEAST LORDS for several minutes now and it is finally happening. Who knows what will happen? But I imagine there will be moshing, perhaps crowd surfing, many shots and in between all of that some old school style throw a fist up and rock the hell out style punk from the Joatmm crew.

Billie Dre & the Poor Boys: https://www.facebook.com/BillieDre at 11:20:

Billie Dre & the Poor Boys were one of the highlights of an action packed CMW at Rancho. We are beyond thrilled to be hosting them again and on a bill this strong. Recently relocated from Halifax, Billie Dre & the Poor Boys are quickly establishing themselves in Toronto as a band on the serious rise. With so many bands going and the garage/punk seen as full as it is that is not a feat to be taken lightly.

YEAST LORDS: https://www.facebook.com/yeastlords at 12:15:

YEAST LORDS are the most intense, the most fun, the most angry and the most powerful punk act out of Toronto that you don't know yet. For this night only they play as a trio as Antony East of The '92 Blue Jays on bass. You are going to want to come down, possibly wear a helmet and get ready for this one.
