Sad to say but the last…(gasp) last BURN ROME IN A DREAM show is this Thursday November 24th at Sneaky Dee’s. If you remember B.R.I.A.D. from their “Holding Pattern” days or are just hearing about them this is definitely a great show to check out. These dudes from Toronto have played accross our land with many noteable shows. One of my faves was when they opened for Jeff Healey’s jazz band at the Toronto Jazz Festival. What style do they play…? Jazz? Rock? Punk? Math? Instrumental? All of the above or not all. This band kind of escapes genre, they are simply GOOD!

The cover for their final show is low, only $5!!! (Plus there will also be 2 other bands on the bill!) I must mention that the third and final CD (funeral CD?), will be on sale as well. A sort of bittersweet CD release but word has it that there may be some free baked goods to go with your CD purchase. Cupcakes maybe???

Cupcakes or no it will be sad to see yet another amazing local band fall to the wayside. Come dance in the ambers or check out their back catalogue at THE BLUE HOUSE…

All through the night Rome went burning. Put that in the noontide and it loses some of its age-old significance, does it not? Why? Because it has existed to the eye of the mind all these years against a black sky. Burn Rome in a dream, and you reach and claw down the true calamity. For dreams have only the pigmentation of fact. A man who has to deal in no colour cannot find his match, or, if he does, it is for a different rage. Rome was the egg, but colour was the tread.
