Thank You's From Space

We did it! What a triumph last week was for us here at Wavelength as we jumped into a deeper end of the promoter pool then we usually do. With many sleepless days and lots of sweat and love we pulled off three sold-out concerts of Kid Koala's Space Cadet Headphone Experience. I hope you got a chance to see it; it was absolutely incredible! You can read one review here and another here.

Having been a fan of Kid Koala for almost fifteen years (since I was like 17 or 18 I think), putting this show on was a personal passion project but none of it would have been possible without the enormous help and time put in by all of these fine folk:

Firstly, of course, is Kid Koala and the whole Space Cadet crew: Ryhna, Pat, Vid, Matt, Terence, Corinne, Kim. Thanks for taking a chance on us ragtag group of music lovers!

Secondly, Miles Baker and the Toronto Comic Arts Festival for jumping on board with us 50/50 to make it happen.

Thirdly, the 918 Bathurst Centre, for providing the perfect venue for such a special and crazy show.

And just as much thanks to Jonathan Shedletzky for helping me kick this whole thing off back in 2011, to Dwayne Slack for providing technical production assistance and advice, to our tireless volunteers last week: Cheldon & Vanese (sorry if I'm spelling your name wrong!), Steve, Dan, Kat, Tara, Laura, Jordaan, Bryan, to Soundscapes, Rotate This, The Beguiling and GalleryAC for selling tickets and spreading the word, to Show Gopher and BlogTO for running contests and spreading the word, to Steam Whistle and Grace Foods, to the Ontario Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council for backing this and many of Wavelength's unusual projects, and to our own tenacious Wavelength team: Adham Ghanem, Adam Bradley, Dorice Tepley, Ryan McLaren and Jonathan Bunce (sorry you missed it all Duncan!), and thanks to you, the Audience, for filling the house with your smiles and wonder. What a show it was! (So sorry if I've forgotten someone, I'm still catching up on sleep).
