TONY WILSON’S BROKEN MERCHANDISE
The members of Broken Merchandise were raised in the same broken down house in the inner city of Juno, Alaska. Even though they are unrelated, the boys all ended up somehow growing up together. As they reached their late teens, they all moved to various Canadian WalMart stores, where they were employed as greeters. Welcome to WalMart, "we love you", was their mantra. For this very special event the boys will be reunited and will perform on broken WalMart hardware items. All WalMart employees will receive free admission, the rest of you pay up.

ELDRITCH PRIEST
Eldritch Priest is a composer and improviser. His compositions, which have been performed in NA and EU, are characterized by their ob/excessive approach to melody, not in a systematic or meaningful sense, but in the sense that they don’t stop and are utterly foolish. His improvisations are like this too, but improvised. Eldritch is co-founder and co-artistic director of the now defunct Toronto-based experiential music ensemble Neither/Nor and former member of the Ottawa Sun Ra tribute outfit Rake Star. Eldritch is also a professor At Simon Fraser University and a member of the experimental theory group The Occulture.
