Big thanks (Fangs?) to everyone who came out to Academy of Lions last Saturday for the EPIC Wavelength #526, celebrating the CD release for Hooded Fang's Tosta Mista as well as the launch for the band's label, Daps Records. Thanks very much to our fine (and fit!) hosts at Academy of Lions — we were thrilled to present the first-ever music event at this unique community space. It felt like an old-fashioned block party, crossed with a weird Mexican-wrestling-themed art happening.

Thanks also must go out to SkyBlueSky Sandwich Co. for bringing their delicious sammiches, Wowee Zonk for creating some curious installation pieces, Scion Canada and Steam Whistle for their support, Wio-K and Odonis Odonis for their awesome opening sets and all the Wavelength Crew for going above and beyond for this one — Doc Pickles, Steve "General Chaos Visuals" Lindsey, Adam "Crayons" Bradley, Dorice Tepley, Adham Ghanem and Marissa Janes. Also cheers to soundguy Jon Shapiro, who is moving to Montreal this weekend, not unlike regular Garrison/Wavelength soundguy Steve Shoe - who's leading the charge to gentrify Hamilton. You guys will both be missed!

And if you're one of the few who happened to figure out how to get up to the roof, you are very, very bad. And very, very lucky.

For those who missed it, check out this moody mini-mini-doc created by the folks at RunPunch:
