To celebrate one year of Audio Blood being in business we have teamed up with Third Estate Merchandise to present possibly the most stacked bill of this year! With our favourite partners on-board, AUX TV and Exclaim.ca, this is sure to be a night you won’t forget, or you wish you could remember!
The show is at the Horseshoe Tavern (368 Queen St. W, Toronto) on Dec. 12th, 2009. Cover is 7$. Doors 9pm.
OH NO FOREST FIRES Amidst juicy and dynamic pop songs, Oh No Forest Fires find a home for epic post rock guitar frenzies. With too-catchy-too-be-true choruses tying the beautifully messy songs together, anything can happen while the four piece is on stage. This year the band nearly topped the CBC Radio 3 and campus charts with their debut EP, The War on Geometry. They were also featured at this year’s NXNE, Over the Top Fest, Pop Montreal and Halifax Pop Explosion festivals! MYSPACE http://www.myspace.com/ohnoforestfires MAKE YOUR EXIT Four part vocal harmonies akin to Fleet Foxes, with the addition of jazzy saxophone parts, and just the right tasteful amount of Canadiana twang – Make Your Exit is unlike anything you’ve heard before, yet it won’t be hard to wrap your head around. This year the band released their second EP, Remind Me the Reason I Came to a sold out Sneaky Dees. Often referred to as the best EP released this year, expect to hear much more from these young and restless musicians. MYSPACE http://www.myspace.com/makeyourexit CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN Fist pumping in the form of group sing-a-longs so huge and juicy it could make you sick. And yet, in the midst of all this aggression and rage, emerges some of the biggest hearted songs this culturally confused city of Toronto could bear to emit. In between the dripping sweat and guitar heavy choruses, the band opens their collective 8 arms and hugs the audience with their vicious wall of sound. And whether you like it or not, you’re getting a big wet one! Their raging rock anthems on their debut self titled release brought them to venues across the country, sharing stages with Cancer Bats, Moneen, The Dears, Malajube, Attack in Black. 2009 saw them holed up in the studio with producer Julius “Juice” Butty (Alexisonfire) working on their second LP, Distance, to be released in 2009 with a bang!

All with extensive music backgrounds, the Balconies have a knack for writing songs that are timeless and memorable instantaneously. Having played alongside Mother Mother, Dog Day, and at this year’s NXNE, Pop Montreal, and Ottawa Bluesfest, keep your eyes peeled for what’s next from this truly unique outfit.
