    Pigeon Breeders (alone and with guests Waters and Dadge) + Nate Waters solo

    PIGEON BREEDERS
    We are very excited to have Edmonton's Pigeon Breeders (Myles Bartel and Will Scott) back after too-long of an absence. The last time they graced a Bug Incision stage was back in 2015, but they've been busy ever since. Most recently working as a trio with fellow Edmontonian Matt Belton's Ghost Cars project, they released Stasis last fall on the Pseudo Laboratories label.

    This group has been active since the early '10s, and when I say active, I mean active: they've played tons of shows around Alberta (they were in Calgary not too long ago on a juicy double bill with Jung People) and have released an impressive pile of cassettes and CDRs over the years, all documenting their increasingly refined vision of bric-a-brac-laden, electro-acoustic improvised music. As we wrote in an earlier write-up about them, "Edmonton’s kings of drift, this trio has honed in on a compelling mixture of liberally-effected guitars, assorted amplified junk and household objects, and electronics.”



    They will perform a set on their own, and then another joined by Nate Waters and Chris Dadge.

    NATE WATERS
    One of the city's busiest and consistently excellent musicians, Waters spends equal amounts of time in Calgary's jazz and indie rock scenes. He fronts his own angular art-pop project Eye of Newt, plays in Temps, Victrix, Ryan Bourne & The Plant City Band, and Samantha Savage Smith's backing band. In the jazz world, he gets around equally mightily, and can be seen most Tuesday nights at Betty Lou's Jazz Library with his own quartet. Aside from ripping on most members of the woodwind family, he can also handle most rhythm section duties with equal aplomb. His solo set on this night will likely involve saxophones, pedals, and other electronic goodies.

BUG INCISION ARCHIVES:

In January of this year, we began work on the Bug Incision Archives, which will round up all audio, video, & photo documentation, press coverage, and promotional materials relating to the Bug Incision Presents concert series, dating back to early 2006.

While this archive will undoubtedly result in some new documentation being available to the general public, the main goal is for it to be accessible to its participants (the artists and documenters) for their own uses, while also providing a thorough overview of the series' activities for internal purposes.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Bug Incision has a huge archive of materials in its possession currently, but there are holes all over the 14 year history, not to mention more and potentially better-quality iterations of existing event documentation. If you have any photos, videos, or audio recordings of Bug Incision Presents concerts, we would be very interested in getting our hands on them for inclusion in the archive.

For information on how to get us these media items, as well as information on privacy, credits, and more details about the planned usage of materials, please email: bugincision@gmail.com
