art apostate

Official Album Release Show for Art Bergmann’s new album, The Apostate – with special guests Gerry Hannah and the New Questioning Coyote Brigade, and Mac Pontiac.

Art Bergmann’s career began with his first band, The Schmorgs in 1977. He joined the K-Tels the following year, releasing two EPs before changing their name to The Young Canadians. In 1981, Bergmann joined Los Popularos and the band recorded a four-song EP. In 1984, he formed Poisoned and they recorded two demo tapes and a 6-song EP with producers Bob Rock and Paul Hyde. In 1988, Bergmann signed with Duke Street Records and released his first album under his own name, Crawl With Me, produced by John Cale. 1989’s Sexual Roulette and 1991’s Art Bergmann soon followed and in 1995, What Fresh Hell Is This? earned him a Juno Award. Bergmann released two more albums, 1998’s Design Flaw and 2000’s Vultura Freeway before relocating to a farm in Alberta and retiring from the music racket – temporarily. After a period of self-imposed exile, Bergmann began writing again and returned to the stage in 2013, performing sold-out shows in Calgary, Victoria, Vancouver and Toronto. Bergmann released a critically acclaimed 4-song EP in 2014, Songs For The Underclass, and his new full-length album, The Apostate, is finally our, with it's official release being tonight at The Fox.This show is sold out, but there will be tickets available at the door.

SUNSHINE
Live Music Show
7pm-10:30pm

sunshine insta2

The Fox Cabaret presents alternative dream pop band SUNSHINE with special guests Les Chausettes and Gum Country. Sunshine, longtime exponents of the derriere-garde in Canadian music, are entirely mythical figures, figments of their parents’ warped imaginations. They were raised by yaks, by whom they were always treated as members of the family, and ever since they were old enough to eat with the grownups they have been merely the front for a vast international syndicate of ne’er-do-wells. But enough of Sunshine the artists. What of Sunshine the bon vivants, men about town, and idols of three continents? At last reports they had settled in Vancouver, British Columbia, where they earn precarious livings peddling dope to the local school children and rolling the occasional drunk. Here they spend their declining years with their shrunken head collection, their Nobel Prizes, and their memories. With Special Guests Les Chaussettes + Gum Country.
