   About Muskox
Muskox, a Toronto-based post-minimalist band, was formed by Toronto multi-instrumentalist and composer Michael Smith in August of 2006 for the Bummer in the Summer music festival. Since that time, the group has released three mini-cds – Caveman Caveman Crystal Skulls (2006), Fever Dream (2007), and Gallantries (2008), all available at Soundscapes (572 College st.), through muskoxhq.net, or from Mike directly. And, of course, if you prefer the ethereal to the tangible, digital versions of all three are available at Zunior for a mere $3.33 apiece. Bonus!

Foot Locker at St-Andrew-By-The-Lake on Toronto Island

from the Bruce Peninsula 7" release show.

Debut performance in the Tranzac garden, August 6th 2006:

from Kevin Hainey's Bummer In The Summer documentary.

NxEW.ca is a new Canadian music group blog. We have 60 + writers across Canada (and a few in the U.S.). We welcome anyone who wants to write about Canadian music - including musicians, promoters, managers, etc. (We're not the CBC and we exist to promote Canadian music, so conflict of interest is not an issue).
If you'd like to chip in on the blog or want to submit stuff for consideration for the podcast get in touch at northbyeastwest at gmail.com

Cheers!

Excellent that you were nominated as the best jazz act in Now Magazine 'A refreshingly unpretentious group of U of T grads who came together with an unusual combination of instruments to create an entrancing minimalist sound of their own, completely unbound by tradition'

you should have a try with sardinian "launeddas".
not joking. If you're looking for a peculiar flute-like instrument..

greetings from Sardinia
