Fort Street Café (742 Fort Street, Victoria BC)
"Rowan Lipkovits fronts the jug band of the damned, the Creaking Planks, and specializes in musical impishness: squeezing music out of his box which was never intended for it and playing sad songs with great gusto and happy abandon. Once you feel you know what to expect, he ducks and weaves again, throwing the listener and avoiding being pinned down.
Natasha Enquist straddles the worlds of the musical, the visual and the dramatic, cutting a figure on the theatrical stage and no less striking behind the megaphone with her gypsy band. On this occasion she is playing in partnership with Alexander "Sunheart" Cooper, controlling an impressive and startling array of electronic sound manipulation equipment to make you forget every prior way you've heard the accordion used or abused.
Accordion Noir is alone in its field, for three and a half years the pre-eminent podcast covering the global beat of the punky and vibrant accordion renaissance. Doors at 7:30, admission is $5." - Rowan Lipkovits
