THEATRE | 300 Tapes by Public Recordings
Tonight marks the opening of 300 Tapes, an experimental theatre project which finds audio as a central component of the production. The premise of this work involves three individuals recording their everyday lives onto 100 tapes each. This play was developed in residency at The Theatre Centre here in Toronto, and will also be staged in early 2011 in Calgary.
The Theatre Centre (100-1087 Queen Street West), 8pm, Public: $22/Student-Senior-Artsworker: $15
MUSIC | Bilal presented by The Main Ingredient
Bilal rolls in to T-Dot, with a 5 piece band in tow, supporting his latest platter, Airtight's Revenge on the Plug Research label. This soulful artist has collabed with some of the best, including Dr. Dre, J Dilla, and Nottz. Label complications surrounding his last album haven't kept this good man down - his spirits are high and tonight will be a blast. Also on the bill are Slakah The Beatchild, and a host of DJs.
Revival (783 College Street), 10pm, $30
MUSIC | Skrillex
California native Sonny John Moore, aka Skrillex, hits the Wrongbar tonight blasting out his unique and aggressive blend of dub-step, electronica, and more.
