GlassEyeLashes w/ Earth Wind & Choir
GLASSEYELASHES
While a healthy number of song-based projects have successfully merged the wayward and soulful, Hamiltonian pop surrealists Glasseyelashes make an utterly distinct contribution to the lineage. Grounded by the longtime musical partnership of Sarah Good (guitar and voice) and Annie Shaw (keyboards and voice) the duo more recently expanded to welcome the ubiquitous Becky Katz. Each member is voraciously prolific, contributing to a number of the city's recent most adventurous and peculiar musical acts and community initiatives including Earth, Wind, and Choir, Freaky Boos, Strangewaves, Sourpussy, and Pucumber Sasssquash Family Band, while gathering Hamilton Arts Awards, and appearing at local institutions such as Supercrawl and the HPO's What Next? Festival. Glasseyelashes' music gleefully and irreverently mashes together the ramshackle rock of early Red Krayola or the Raincoats' The Odyshape, with the agile ethereality of artists such as Jane Siberry and Mary Margaret O'Hara.

EARTH WIND & CHOIR (Hamilton)
This ever-evolving local vocal institution introduced their fun, adventurous sound some ten ten years ago. Conductress Sarah Good plays the choir of 15-20 dedicated creative vocalists like an instrument, presenting idiosyncratic takes on the most beautiful, ugly and/or interesting music the group can find—from early polyphony to avant-pop.
