Straight from Ottawa are the awesome Polymorphines, along with Waterloo based guests the The Wormwood Scrubs and London's own Oily Birds. This will be a great night of solid rock and roll, so come on out and support local and independent music!

The Polymorphines: The Polymorphines are a five piece garage-rock n' roll band influenced by late 60s and early 70s Rock N' Roll. This band is for those who love the twangy AND the jan...gly! A sonic and visual incarnation of everything that is cool about Rock N' Roll and that seems somewhat lost in today's current music trends.
This will be their second time playing London and is also the beginning of their trek westward, playing across Canada.
Their current EP, The Slip, is on the CHRW charts.
They will also be coming onair to CHRW Thursday Sept 15th, on Radio What Wave (7 to 8:30PM) prior to the evening's festivities.

Here's some songs by The Polymorphines:

The Wormwood Scrubs:
I first felt a fist, and then a kick, I could now smell their breath, they smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs. This lyric, from the 1978 song "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" by The Jam, resonated powerfully with four Waterloo musicians, despite their eclectic tastes. A rocker, a mod, a punk, and a music purist, who had been jamming together in the back of a Waterloo woodshop in the summer of 2007, had found their collective name: The Wormwood Scrubs. What better way to exemplify the gritty, high-octane sound they were developing than to name the band after a notorious prison in a rough borough of London. That summer - the "summer of love," the guys jokingly call it - Steven Foy, Jay Dawe, Brandon Sanders, and Shaun Foy melded a psychedelic '60s sound with the aggression of grunge; later being compared to Jefferson Airplane covering Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun. Since they were teenagers, Steven and Jay have made their guitars wail and sing in electric harmony. Brandon's tight, rollicking basslines brought depth to their sound. Shaun Foy added the backbeat only when he was satisfied with the high level of respect the rest would give The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The band's self-titled full length debut, recorded at Brixton Recording Studios in the summer of 2010, captures the intensity for which their live shows are known. The Wormwood Scrubs have found permanence in a downtown jam hall with a view of the city they all call home and a place to store the vintage equipment that emits their unique sound. Having released their debut album and found the perfect space in which to write and rehearse The Wormwood Scrubs have completed their metamorphosis from four guys in the "summer of love" to an established force on the music scene. The Wormwood Scrubs are ready to wiggle their way into your Saturday night, iPod, and
