recap of April 9th show by Mahmud
This is a recap of the April 9th show written by Mahmud Naqi:
Last Saturday, local noise makers ‘Indigenous Nudes’ and the mad men from
‘Dyslexik’ with their side project ‘Staph’ tore it up in the basement of
London’s Marigold Studios as part of ‘Hide and Seek Show and Tell’ the
ongoing original music and art event series.
It was a swell time.
Full disclosure, I helped out a bit with the Nudes set- I provided the
visuals and the audio from films was fiddled with by Nick from
Indigenous Nudes. Nick at some point let me fiddle some of the peddles,
which is cool, but I didn’t really get the hang of it and I felt kind of shy. So I'm a bit biased.
The Nudes are blessed with a weird mixture of talent and luck that they
manage to channel into these interesting and often quite pleasant
feeling soundscapes. I don’t understand why what they are doing turns
out well, because as far as I can they make the shit up as they go
along. They compliment each other quite well, while neither of them are
going to be making pop albums anytime soon, the sense I get is that
Colin is the one who tends towards the more harsh noise with screamed
vocals, where as Nick is more drone influenced and prefers the sound of
feedback. When they mix, it is some napalm like shit and will melt your
face off. This show was one of their more atmospheric and had this great creepy vibe.
Staph was like rolling around in a field of broken glass. These guys
knew how to crush skulls with pure sound. By comparison, the Nudes
seemed like Brian Eno. It was intense, room shaking noise. The set
started off insanely loud and managed (somehow) to get even louder. This
is music that taps into the stupid grin you get when you set fireworks
off because loud noises are fucking awesome. The best way to describe
the set was a rhythmic build up of feedback into something monstrous,
intense and terrifying.
Thanks to Hide and Seek for a killer show!

Our first art party was a great time for everyone who attended! There was lots of drawing, painting, and collage. We made a bunch of magnets, we learned about acrylic paints and mediums, we listened to loads of music and there was a lot of discussion about film and potential creative projects for the future. Throughout the day we kept a live photo journal of all the art we made.

April 2nd - The first ever HSST Art Party!
poster/bookmark by Billy Bert YoungThe first HSST Art Party is Saturday April 2nd from 1-6pm at EVAC. What's an "art party" you ask? It's an event where people get together to make art. You can bring your own art to work on or you can come and collaborate with other people. It's a chance to meet other creative people and stuff we make we can show off at the next HSST music events.
Some art supplies will be available but bring some of your own if you can! Also bring some music and we can take turns putting on songs. This is an alcohol free, all ages, kids friendly event!
We're asking a $2 donation to put towards EVAC and help pay for promotion.
CREATE, SHARE and COLLABORATE!
EVAC is located at 757 Dundas St.
