Legendary Toronto musical ensemble hold their end-of-year extravaganza at our place on Sunday, December 29th!

This band has managed to defy conventions and categories for the length of their near-22-year bizarro career.

They’ve been described as “…simultaneously playing with the precision of a classical chamber orchestra and the abandon of a garage-full of punks” - Matt Galloway, NOW.

“… some audiophiles can’t figure out whether they’ve been thrown into a Grateful Dead drums/space set with Sun Ra sitting in, a Turkish bazaar or a jazz nightclub” - John Lyttoe, Ottawa Express.

Don’t miss this experience!

It’s the most wonderful time of the yeaaaarrrrrrrrrr! It’s a HOLIDAY EDITION of DECADES DANCE PARTY!
🎄🎁🪔

Never been to Decades? Here’s how it works:

🎄Every hour is a new decade of music from the 70s until the 2020s.

🕎 Every hour is a new DJ.

🎅 The top of every hour is a confetti-fuelled countdown into the next decade.

It’s kinda like six new years’ parties in one. Except it’s not new years. And we’re dancing for six hours long. Don’t forget to bring comfy dancing shoes.

Round up your local holiday party and come through!!!!
