FREE MONDAY w/ Hélène Barbier / National Photo Committee / Answering Machines / Doug Mosurock DJ Set
Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+ RSVP DOES NOT GUARANTEE ENTRY Hélène Barbier seeds melodies that ferment and blossom in the shadows, pairing hummable lines with alien tunes conjured in someone else's psyche across time and space. Siamese fragments. She creates an imbalance through juxtaposition. Four simple notes become evocative alongside four disorienting, different notes, and this simplistic rule has become a basis for complex play. Barbier enlists musicians based on willingness to break from tired chords, worn fills, and needless flourish---expertise aside. She switches between English and French atop aggressively anti-complicated avant-pop melodies. Off-kilter beauty ensues. Pretension and contrived professionalism are kept far away as these sketches find mature forms in an album that keeps the tedium of square music at bay. Following Have You Met Elliot ? in 2019 and Regulus in 2021, the Montreal-based singer and bassist releases Panorama in the fall of 2025. With its gooey jangle pop riffs, throaty melodies, and tangled grooves, this third solo album evokes a dying jukebox spitting out its last perfect songs. Keen to highlight the humour and beauty of everyday life, whether it be a road trip with her dog Toody or gardening in the small flower bed in front of her house, Hélène Barbier has nevertheless written many songs from Panorama in response to anxiety and health problems that surface when everything else seems to be going well. Highly personal yet open to interpretation, these nine songs boast memorable melodies and simple choruses, making them feel like postcards s

Pallbearer / Ordh / Barren Heir
Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+Pallbearers Foundations of Burden (2025 Redux) is a meticulous sonic reconstruction of their transformative, landmark 2014 album. The newly remixed and remastered version arrives digitally on Nov. 7, with physical editions (2xLP and CD) available on Dec. 5.During the writing and preparation for Foundations, everything was ephemeral and we were practically feral, recalls bassist/vocalist Joseph D. Rowland. We had no real practice space, we barely had a single working computer between the four of us. Our demos of the record consisted of something barely discernible from white noise. Nevertheless, we knew we were working towards building a set of songs we were deeply enthusiastic about.Once in the thick of recording, the feeling went from dream to dreamlike very quickly, as we found ourselves in what felt like an endless churn of repetition. We slept at the studio on whatever soft surfaces we could find, waking each day to discover that some of the previous days work had been corrupted overnight. This resulted in some parts of the album being recorded many times over. The guitars in particular mutated into something Sisyphean.Rowland continues, Since the time that we finally committed the original version of Foundations to print, we knew it would be a sonic space we would eventually revisit. Its form did not unfold according to the original version as the numerous file corruptions, delays, and exhausted studio budget compounded into a final feverish push to finish the mix. We were relieved to get those massive and difficult mixes turned into finishe
