Featured Events in Barrie in March 2025 (May Updated)

Experimental rock trio Yoo Doo Right (Montréal, CA) wed noisy, melodic guitar parts, effects-laden synthesizer soundscapes, deep bass grooves and patented percussive furies into sprawling, cathartic musical pieces. Drawing inspiration from post-rock, krautrock, shoegaze, classical music, electroacoustics, and musique concrète, they create a unique sound where “towering monoliths of roaring riffs crash against swarms of restless rhythms” (Pop Matters). Since 2016, they have released two full-lengths (Don’t Think You Can Escape Your Purpose, A Murmur, Boundless to the East), three EPs (Nobody Panicked and Everybody Got On, EP2, The Sacred Fuck EP), and a few singles, including a 7” split with Acid Mothers Temple, whilst touring extensively in Canada, the United and Europe. Along the way, they have performed at notorious events such as SXSW, Levitation, Dunk! Fest, Sled Island, Treefort Music Fest, and M for Montreal, also opening for the likes of Acid Mothers Temple, DIIV, A Place to Bury Strangers, Wooden Shjips, Kikagaku Moyo, FACS, and Jessica. Scheduled for November 8th, 2024 via Mothland, From the Heights of Our Pastureland is yet another solemn if defiant entry in Yoo Doo Right’s rich music catalogue, an honest and patient sonic poem about the destructive process of unbridled expansion in the name of “progress”, the inevitable collapse and what it means to rebuild. Toronto-based band Strip Lacquer are the city’s latest post punk export. Drawing from art rock experimentation, industrial abrasiveness, and post-punk ethos – Strip Lacquer is an outfit that encompasses sharp emotional songwriting with nuanced dissonance and a diverse sonic palette. Local DJ Dioscuri playing pre and post show heavy hitters so don’t be late! Many Moons Events 2025 programming is possible with the support of @city.of.kingston and the @kingstonartscouncil.
