| Mon. May 6th: Peter
Murphy |
Peter Murphy began his
musical career as the front man and songwriter of the influential post-punk
band Bauhaus. With their own particular mystique and stark brooding music, it
was inevitable that Bauhaus would be classified as the vanguards of Goth. Dark,
distinct and intense, their music also contained humour, experimentation and
pure rock 'n roll energy. Bauhaus' distinguished body of work has remained
timeless. At the Phoenix, 410 Sherbourne. Tickets now available from
Ticketmaster for $25.50 + surcharges. 19+ only. Doors
8pm.

www.THEAMBiENTPiNG.com Visiting us from Albany New York,
Sara Ayers unleashes her sampled, looped and layered vocals with occasional
guitar washes and warm noise...ethereal atmospheres, dense memories of dreams
and sparkling fragments of stories conveyed by a voice that shifts from
guttural lows to silvery, trilling highs in the space of a heartbeat. Inspired
by falling rain, subway cars, white noise, and of course his increasingly vocal
cat, rik maclean returns to The Ambient Ping for another set of songs inspired
by absence and the burdens of geography. Playing songs from his forthcoming CD
"The Last Night is the Hardest" along with the dreaded Ambient-Ozzy
medley, Mara's Torment set will cover a broad range of human emotions and don't
be surprised if you see a collaboration with Sara. ( Photos and more info for
Sara at www.saraayers.com )
