Toronto’s live dance-party favourites, the Chameleon Project, are headlining The Bicycle Film Festival: Bikes Rock! at the Ex party at the CNE band shell.
'Hey, let's go to the Ex!'
After 14 months in the studio, crafting their highly acclaimed recent release, "if it takes all night”, the Chameleon Project are back to laying down some massive electronic-improv jams for their live audience. I recently spoke with bassist Snappy Homefry.

LM: Chameleon Project fills up some of Toronto’s bigger venues and was recently added to the high-caliber line up at this year’s Camp Bisco Festival in New York wasn't it? Why take time out to play a show for the benefit of Toronto’s cycling community?

One of our I Bike T.O. regular readers forwarded us the following email. Sounds like a creative way to have fun with bikes!

MUSIC FOR 6008 SPOKES
New Music Arts Projects
Track field, King Edward PS, 112 Lippincott St., Toronto

Sometimes, interesting means simple, and a bicycle with a bell is more useful than a graduate degree in making music. Case in point - Mauricio Kagel's Eine Brise for 111 cyclists. This musical work may have been intended as a two-page testament to conceptual art, but mere technicalities cannot stop the two-wheeled artistic soul. A critical mass of cyclists will ride around the audience in formation, creating a web of sonic undulation. It could sound wonderful, it could sound awful, but in truth we'll have no idea until the actual performance!

If you have a bike with a bell or horn, are not too ashamed to make strange noises, can ride in formation at a comfortably moderate speed, and are interested in "riding" some Kagel, go here to find more details on how to join in the fun: gregoryoh.com/6008spokes
