. Friday, November 24th IMU & CiTR present The FEBRUARYS, ORGAN TRAIL, SK ROBOT, Orchards & Vines + Huge Manatease @ The LAMPLIGHTER, 210 Abbott Street . Doors 8pm / $10

THE FEBRUARYS' atmospheric, experimental indie rock sound focuses on songwriting over volume, with influences ranging from The Beatles to Taking Back Sunday. Garnering new fans at every show, their latest CD "Brighter Side of Things" runs the gamut from love songs to sad songs, songs about selling out, and comments on those who have a heightened sense of their intelligence due to fixating on the daily news. http://www.thefebs.com

ORGAN TRAIL - Melodic and sometimes funkified, rusty & "raggedy-pretty", Organ Trail makes instrumental hobo noises to warm your pioneer souls like a blazing campfire. http://www.myspace.com/organtrail

S.K. ROBOT - featuring members of Bossanova, Cinderpop, Speedbuggy, The Liars and Space Kid, S.K. Robot creates addictive harmony and hook-laden pop/rock that sounds both fresh and familiar. http://www.skrobotrocks.com

ORCHARDS & VINES reveal a rich, dark musical territory of compelling songs and lyrics, with powerful, dynamic female vocals fronting raw, intense guitars and drums. Their explosive modern sound invokes an intense musical experience. http://www.ovweb.com

HUGE MANATEASE - Formed by Trevor Hargreaves (vocals, guitar) , Iain W. Reeve (xylophone, melodica, cowbell, etc.), Natalie (vocals, keyboards, tambourine) and Juli (drums) one drunken nite at the Railway, this new Rock-Glam-Shoegaze-Folk band will keep you entertained as you drink and dance in time to their solid rhythms and twistedly funny lyrics! http://www.myspace.com/hugemanatease
