First Ever Murder Folk Night

with Ryan Kamstra + pals

Monday, March 30th, 2009

7-10pm

Board of Directors (1082 Queen st. W.)

A night of desperate, violent folk music in an art gallery where we make the band (community sing along).

This is a PASS THE HAT (pwyc) event.

Song-sheets, murderous weapons and noise makers will be on hand.

To sumit a request for a song to be learned by the band for that night email: [email protected]

WHAT'S MURDER FOLK?

Modeled after a fun, fun Murder Folk Kitchen Party I hosted at my tree house with a murder of my friends in the Dead of Winter 2008, Murder Folk is a self-coined style/genre of folk music where the sentiment and emotive quality grossly exceeds the subject matter, often dealing with subjects of killing your cheating lover, bank robberies, depression-era acts of amoral desperation, disaster capitalism, lewd and unholy courtships, suicide, insanity, bulimia, selling one's soul to the devil, the apocalypse, morbid episodes of unrequited lovesickness, sex sickness, ultraviolence, anything too much, too little but totally inappropriate and the ever present counter-weight of a dire and vindictive personal deity.
