It’s not usually my style to put up show posters but here’s an event that’s definitely on my radar for the weekend: Tacoma Hellfarm Tragedy and Innes Wilson & His Opposition are in town as the good ol’ boys from Guelph’s Out of Sound Records take over the Tranzac on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Having just released a brand-new compilation on Cassette (with digital download) as well as co-releasing HotKid’s The Cost EP, these purveyors of “DIgital DIY” are busy and show no signs of slowing down.  Speaking of DDIY, here’s a brief explanation of the intriguing concept from the guys themselves:

“It’s high time people start recognizing what’s going on with the world of music these days. Digital D.I.Y (do-it-yourself ) is a rebuttal to the insincere,
corporate world of digital media. Digital DIY Incorporates innovative and generally hand-made material items for sale along with digital portions for
download. In essence D.DIY is an attempt at foreshadowing the digital revolution while paying respect to the indie spirit of times past.”

Wonderfully romantic stuff, if you ask me. It’s always nice to see creative-minded people contemplating the evolving methods of distributing independent music.

Keen observers will note that the poster below lacks some necessary info—the date and location of the show for instance. The finished version would also have told you that this show is in conjunction with Zunior.com—Canada’s independent digital music store.  Let the local indie community unite!

Hope to see you there.
