A Weakerthans Tribute - The Feeble Strength
The Feeble Strength is on a mission to keep the songs of The Weakerthans ringing out in dive bars and old derelict haunts all across Canada.
Made up of four pals with a genuine love and fascination for the music of Canada’s most earnest and literate indie rock group, Cailen Alcorn Pygott (No, It’s Fine), Nicholas Laugher (Ocean Charter Of Values), Alaska McMillan (Alaska D’Alifax) and Evan Matthews (Devarrow) joined forces in 2017 for a Holiday tribute show, and have been serenading sweet souls with the music of The Weakerthans since!
With lyrics about love, loss, cats, and pennies for the GST, the Weakerthans captured our hearts and compelled us to scream our throats raw along to the songs for years, and we endeavour to keep that wonderful spirit alive as long as we can
Shivering Songs 2025 with Cut Cult + Nate & the Busy Boys + Shriven
the CAP
doors 8:30 / show 9:00
Why are Cut Cult?
Because lugging heavy gear around the world to produce music and play concerts is a
cathartic and religious experience.
Who are Cut Cult?
Brian Borcherdt, Loel Campbell, and Matt McQuaid are three of the forming, former, and
current members of Holy Fuck (XL Records, Kobalt), who live in Nova Scotia and really enjoy
making sounds together. Brian and Loel met while Brian was a record store employee and Loel
was a fifteen year old aspiring drummer. Both were from ‘the sticks’ and both wanted to find
some kind of community. They made the first Holy Fuck records together and were later joined
by Matt ‘punchy’ McQuaid on bass. Once scattered and no longer playing together
professionally, they convened as friends in Montreal to make late night noisy confessions. Now,
back in their home province, they are Cut Cult.
Their resume includes: producing music for other artists, like their own Dusted (Polyvinyl), and
co-remixing Radiohead, MIA, etc, warping records into the viral Chipmunks on 16 Speed,
playing drums in Wintersleep subbing in for Broken Social Scene and Billy Talent, as well as
co-founding (finding?) the Nowadays festival in Dartmouth.

Shivering Songs 2025 with The Brood and Michelle Morrison
The CAP
Doors 8:30 / Show 9:00
The Brood - Dark and quirky songs that float along like scenes from a night’s dream. Lynchian vibes at the discotheque. Intricate musical interplay, but over a beat you can groove to. The band’s musical recipe is thus: equal parts vocals, keyboards, bass, guitar and drums, interlocking in an electric dixieland tapestry with nods to new wave, disco, psychedelia and grunge. Like a Long Island Iced Tea, there’s a lot going on but it goes down smooth.
Experiencing The Brood live is like getting swallowed up by a black hole that chews you up and spits you out into Studio 54.
