Velour Underground launches May residency @ The Baby G, Tuesday

Flowers Of Hell members transform into Velour Underground to play your Velvets faves at The Baby G on Tuesdays in May. 

Here's the scoop... 

Lou Reed championed Toronto’s Flowers Of Hell, so this May they’ll be performing two sets of Velvet Underground songs at The Baby G (1608 Dundas St. West) every Tuesday in May as The Velour Underground. Expect fan favourites and a changing array of deep cuts each week, plus a light show. With the similar capacities of the Baby G and NYC’s Max’s Kansas City where the Velvets did their 1970 residency, this is as close as you can get to the real experience! Take a walk on the wild side! 

100 tickets available in advance (no charge via Dice right here), remaining tickets available at the door on a first come-first served basis. Doors open at 8 pm. Velour Underground residency at The Baby G continues May 12, May 19 and May 26. Check out The Velour Underground in action below.

Don Byron with NOJO @ The Rex, May 6th thru 9th

Clarinetist/saxophonist Don Byron will join Toronto's own Neufeld-Occhipinti Jazz Orchestra for four nights at The Rex starting Wednesday (May 6).

Don Byron with NOJO

The Rex Jazz & Blues Bar

May 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th at 8 pm

 

Don Byron and NOJO, the Neufeld-Occhipinti Jazz Orchestra, have played together for almost thirty years, and Don appears on NOJO's JUNO nominated albums You Are Here and Highwire.  Don is no stranger to the Rex, having played a number of truly jaw-dropping shows over the years, while NOJO is the brainchild of guitarist Michael Occhipinti and pianist Paul Neufeld, a large ensemble dedicated to performing their bold and memorable original compositions the Globe and Mail called "the sound of surprise."  NOJO was the first big band to set up long running residence at the Rex starting in 1995, so it is only fitting that Don and the band are reuniting at the Rex once again. This show is not to be missed!
