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

Event Description

Fakejazz Orchestra is a Kinston-based, jazz-adjacent duo comprised of Nicholas Lennox (saxophones) and Henry Lawrence (drums). Despite their minimalist instrumentation, this unlikely pairing conveys a dynamic and mighty sound, offering fresh interpretations of jazz, funk, and rock standards. With this project, Lennox and Lawrence harness years of prior collaboration to create a new experience that is at once tightly calculated and highly exploratory. Taking inspiration from small horn-based ensembles such as Moon Hooch and Too Many Zooz, Fakejazz Orchestra brings a full band’s worth of energy with half the players, one note at a time.

Super K is a four-piece, instrumental group based in Vancouver, bc. their songs intertwine melodies inspired by traditional Balkan music with contemporary sounds of surf, psych and electronic music.

“Dense Dense Dense delivered an electrifying debut at the Toucan, weaving heavy tones that resonated deeply into the uncharted, I felt as if it transcended the ordinary experience, a psychedelic journey that liberated the soul! An unforgettable night which I felt fortunate to be part of ….I am so stoked for their next performance! The boys, have something special!” - Josh Garrett
