Grind Central Records presents… Bloc Rock the Cathedral N’hood Centre’s Accessnow radio stage + The Mercury Cafe & Grill
Curated by Grind Central Records, Bloc Rock is a musical mashup of two venues located on opposite ends of the same block: The Mercury & the CNC. Six bands will play staggered sets, and you can venue hop to catch them all!
8:45pm Modern Apartments at CNC
Modern Apartments does not care. Modern Apartments is a band.
9:30pm ditchwitch at CNC
ditchwitch, fronted by singer/songwriter Ella Reichert, is comprised of a revolving door of friends who are down for a jam. Hopping on the nu-gaze bandwagon, they pull inspo from 90s shoegaze and indie, crafting a sound that is fuzzy, melodic, and laced with nostalgia.
10pm Day/Use at The Merc
Speculation has surrounded prairie-based rent-to-work outfit DAY/USE as likely conduits of several special radio broadcasts, but there is yet to be confirmed factual evidence linking them to the strange anomalies sent out from 101.3 OFT.
10:30pm Failed States at CNC
Prairie hardcore veterans since 2008. Fast, aggressive, in-your-face hardcore punk. Politically-driven, zero compromise, and built on DIY ethics: Failed States are here to say it how it is.
11pm Both Doors Have Tigers at The Merc
Featuring members of Trash Hawks, The Wedding Band, Limblifter, and The Won’ts, BDHT is a high-energy trio that is equally adept at rocking your socks off and making friends.
11:30pm Stucco at CNC
Featuring former members of DRI HIEV, Slut Prophet, and Body Lens, Calgary post-punk outfit Stucco create music to reflect the vortex of consumerism, capitalism, and technology while carrying out rhythmic explorations into the angularity of music.
