Proving that some of their squeezy bills of 2010 were impossible to top, CFRO’s Accordion Noir is proud to present a repeat bill from a show they and us hosted in May, this time at the Railway Club (579 Dunsmuir Street) with the sing-along sensation Fang and Winnipeg’s squeezing siren Ingrid Gatin. Start the year off on a high note and see if we can top it in 2011!

All that plus at midnight we turn over the Railway’s stage to Gold Stars Are For Suckers, who have nothing to do with great accordion music but can still give up a good time. $10 / $8 for Railway members.

2010-05-13: Accordion Noir presents… Still More Pleasing Squeezing

Posted: May 1st, 2010 | Author: Blackbox Squeezebeard | Filed under: Show announcements and recaps | Tags: , , , | 3 Comments »

The latest installment in the Accordion Noir radio show’s series of exciting alt-accordion concerts, this evening of Pleasing Squeezing (Thurs May 13th) returns to Cafe Montmartre (4362 Main Street at 28th Ave) with an exciting triple-bill: not only does the jug band of the damned return to its old squeezing grounds, but joining us are Fang, the new duo side-project of Barbara Adler (who last played with us there at last year’s memorable Accordion Noir Festival launch party) and Winnipeg’s fabulous Ingrid Gatin.  We play for tips at Montmartre, so you have no excuse not to join us and our joyful noise!
