He’ll read, with slideshow accompaniment, from his new memoir, Rough Description: Love Letters and Ghost Stories from a Life in Music (ECW Press/Misfit). Rough Description is Don Pyle’s tantalizing memoir, recalling first bands, the absurdity and incredible rewards of touring, and reflections on groups and situations he’s been in, most prominently as drummer and co-founder of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. He recounts friend and work relationships with musician Dallas Good, venerable producer/engineer Steve Albini, comedy troupe Kids In The Hall, whose series and theme music his group created, and more. He describes laughable experiences attending hair school, his evolving relationship with his mother, how the Ramones affected his young teen brain, a life-changing car accident, and other situations from a creative life lived fully, with a bit of dish. Hear how a punk rock penpal lead to a career in showbiz, and how to put out the same record over and over again. Don Pyle is a Toronto-based artist working in music, sound, photography, and writing. He is co-founder and drummer of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, Long Branch, and Phono-Comb, and has scored numerous films, both solo and collaboratively. A Juno Award winner and nominee with Shadowy Men, and a Genie Award nominee for Best Original Score, he co-created the theme and score for The Kids in the Hall. As a producer and engineer, he has worked extensively with The Sadies. His punk-era Toronto photographs are the subject of his book Trouble In The Camera Club (ECW Press). Shot In a Mirror (Midnight Mass) is his second book. ============================ DON PYLE Vendredi 5 juin Ouverture des portes : 19 h Show : 19 h 30 7 $ Paiement possible via notre billetterie en ligne, par virement Interac (ralph@bongobeat.com) ou par carte de crédit par téléphone (Ralph : 514-952-6190).
