About the event

In the not-so-far-off distance, you see it: a hot night to ring in the fall season. Halifax legends BOTFLY enter like a mirage, offering up their signature atmospheric, screamo-leaning sludge stylings to surround you. Squint, and you can barely make out NFDIY banger veterans LIFE IN VACUUM, adding waves of noisy post-punk to the mix. Finally, Niagara sludgy hardcore trio BUTCHER come into frame as the clock ticks, and the show draws ever closer. Don't let the good time slip past you.


Catch the season kickoff at BSMT254 on Friday, September 25th. Doors at 6 PM, music at 6:30 PM [EARLY SHOW, NO PUNK TIME NERDS]. 19+, $20.
