Sounds Like
squeeky door hinge melodies with cardboard box and metal object beats. or maybe just a synth or two forgetting they're synths. sometimes its just a great big wall of noise. sometimes its ambient. sometimes its hard. sometimes its soft. sometimes its just whatever i feel like. always will the rules be broken.

Yo not halfasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
Thought this might help with your home-town "Familiarity breeds contempt" syndrome. :D

“Winnipeg has some of the largest and longest running festivals in the world. While here why not travel the world during Folklorama, listen to some groovy tunes at the Cool Jazz Winnipeg Festival or kid around at Kidsfest?”
“Looking an evening adventure? From large nightclubs to hip lounges to quaint pubs to live music, Winnipeg night life has a little something for everyone….., whether you’re into live bands or dancing the night away at an urban nightclub there’s a way for you and your friends to stay up late and paint the town red in Winnipeg.”
