Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Friday, Sept 22nd IMU & CiTR present Macula, The Glim Project, Peratus + Tenant @ The BACKSTAGE LOUNGE, 1585 Johnston Street, Granville Island . 8pm / $10

MACULA means darkness, the unknown, layers of reality beneath the surface of what we perceive. It is the driving hammer of time, always there but never visible, a void to be filled with shattered light, breaking the monotony of our way. Be sure to catch their unique dark rock blend as they tear the roof off this evening!

The GLIM PROJECT is a full out rock band; a unique, hyper-energetic mish mash that cannot easily fit into one category in today's rock scene. Too progressive to get radio play, not progressive enough to be considered prog rock... too loud and aggressive for the hipsters, but not enough for extreme metal heads. Furious guitars loop around heavy percussive drumming, while galloping bass riffs cut right down the middle. Visually, it's quite a feast, as the band pours out every bit of energy they have in bringing their creations to life. http://www.glimproject.com

PERATUS mixes pop metal and punk rock with heart and soul, as well as impassioned acoustic rock, unplugged and stripped down. Formed with the aim "to rock out and have a blast doing it", the band delivers empathic music "that people can literally imagine that the song could have been about them." http://www.peratus.net

TENANT mixes complex rhythms and timings into solid rock grooves, powerful melodies and forward-thinking songs. http://www.tenantband.com
