First on our recommendation list is Toronto’s indie rock band ‘RatTail’

Performance Time:  3:00pm at Local Library on July 1

After years of sneaking into bars underage to see local indie rock shows Jasmyn Burke started writing music on her own. After the break up of her local darlings all girl group Hot Monogamy she began showcasing some of her new acoustic songs to Ryan Mounsey who had produced Hot Monogamys early recordings and released them on his now defunct Record label Haggard Beast. Together they decided to add a drummer to the songs that were slowly getting louder and more dense. Mounsey recruited long time drum coloborator and noise sculpturist Jesse Frank Matthews and Rattail was born. Soon after the band recorded there yet to be released full length with James Anderson at 6 Nassau Studios in Kensington Market. There first official release was the self produced basement 7 inch “George Mounsey E.P” on Unfamiliar Records. After some of the 6 Nassau demos leaked on the internet and spread to various blogs quickly “Said The Gramaphone” declared one of the demos number 29 on there 75 best on 2009 list. (230 Publicity)
