Tranzac NYE: Eucalyptus, Alex "Bad Baby" Lukashevsky & Cocoa Corner, Bag, DJs Raf Reza & trustfall

Event Details

Event type: Ages 19+

Since forming in 2009, Brodie West's octet EUCALYPTUS has become a favourite for a wide cross-section of listeners in their hometown of Toronto. They've also caught the ears of critics. It's easy to understand why on both counts the band's singular cocktail of styles is eminently listenable—an aromatic blend of off-kilter loungy repose, tropical polyrhythms, Sun Ra's intergalactic wonk, and a greasy dollop of proto-fusion groove.

ALEX ‘BAD BABY’ LUKASHEVSKY AND COCOA CORNER are a tricky and willful band; Aidan McConnell, Jack Johnston, Evan Cartwright, Charliecello and Alex Lukashevsky; a smoky intergenerational blend of experimental folk, blues, and rock n roll. Akin to Doctor John, Don Van Vliet and Mingus, but most definitely Toronto music. Check out their recent album on Tin Angel Records. Bless this planet of undying errors ... HuNnY!

BAG is a Toronto band that started during the Covid 19 outbreak. The members have been in other music projects like Still Boys, Wet Dirt, and Rozasia. They sound sort of like the Butthole Surfers and the Monkees.

RAF REZA is a Toronto based DJ and producer stitching the sonic links between the seemingly unrelated. Raf has touched many corners of Toronto’s music community over the last 10 years. Between curating the bins at Standard Time Record Shop and now running his record label Orphic Apparition, his ears are tuned to music coming from both the local and international community. His DJ and Live sets are genre-fluid in nature where tracks flow through a variety of tempos and sonic palettes.

Based in Toronto, TRUSTFALL is not just a DJ but also an artist, radio host, and organizer. Known for their eclectic, left-field selections and oddball psychedelia across all genres, they bring a unique vibe to every set. Recently, Trustfall has been organizing a bi-monthly event series called Freakers Corner at @bampothouse with their collective Freakers Union.
