Gillian Stone + Picastro + Funeral Lakes at Tranzac

Gillian Stone is a multi-instrumentalist and interdisciplinary artist based in Toronto (Tkaronto). Her vocally-driven work, which draws from post-rock, folk, ambience, and minimalism, has been described as "beyond characterization" and "surreal in its composition" (The Revue).

Picastro is a slowcore band based in Toronto that formed in 1999 and has toured internationally. They have records out on Polyvinyl, Monotreme, Alien 8 and Blocks Recording Club and blend soundscapes and experimentation within traditional song structures.

Funeral Lakes began in the spring of 2018, self-producing music in their apartment, seeking a creative medium to share their fears and frustrations. Embracing a DIY ethos, the duo learned and honed their skills throughout an insular recording process. After a well-received debut album and a series of EPs, Funeral Lakes has expanded their blend of shoegaze and folk, finding regular rotation on campus and community radio across Canada.

Doors at 8:00 PM, tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

This event is made possible by the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, FACTOR, the Government of Canada, and Canada’s Private Radio Broadcasters.
