Tiffany's, is a pretty small place and it would be a shame to destroy the intimacy of the Friday and Saturday night open · stages by having too many people turn up and make the place into a rowdy Market venue. As it is you can actually make out lyrics and hear some of the subtleties in the music that is played. So don't tell too many people about it. Keep it a Mar- ket secret. - Centre 276 Tired of hearing sensitive singer songwriters? Bored with country covers? How about an open stage South African style? Hosted by the band Diliia, the - evening is more of a jam than an open stage. It's sort of a do it yourself party. The Centre provides a good sound system, drums and various implements of percussion (did you catch that H?). So bring a guitar, sitar, kalimba, or jew's harp and join in. It happens every Friday night. 486·DRUG If you or someone you care about has a drug or alcohol problem, help is close by. Just call, free of charge.

Digital Archiving Completed by the Ethnography Lab, A University of Toronto Anthropology Initiative and Produced in Collaboration with David Perlman/Wholenote Media Inc between July-December 2015. November- 1991 Kensington Market Drum, page nineteen Of Note by Colin Puffer Since we had to print an apology to the matriphiles for spelling their name with a capital M, we figured we may as well continue in the same mode and rave on about this band. After an extensive series of gigs around Toronto the matriphiles are taking some time off to work on a new recording, a 10 song offering this time. , The matriphiles have already released an indie cassette entitled momolith. Though it lacks the power of their live shows it is a pretty good reflection of the group's individual talents and strong song writing. Party Time A couple of months ago The DRUM. reported on a robbery that relieved the matriphiles of the bulk of their equipment. They are still recovering from this loss. On Saturday, Novem-· ber 9, CKLN' s Denise Benson will DJ a party at the Cameron from 10:30 until 2:00 am. Proceeds from the party will go toward helping replace the band 's equipment. The first 25 people to arrive get a free catburglar mask. Sounds too good to miss. Ani DiFranco: A Preview . Every now and then there appears an artist who blows people away. Critics search their thesauruses for suitable superlatives and the public ignores all those wonderful things the critics have to say and falls in love with the performer anyway. Ani DiFranco is one of these performers. DiFranco is probably unfamiliar to people who didn't attend this year's Mariposa. And although she was an unknown at the beginning of the Festival, by the finish of the weekend she ended up selling more product than any other performers at the Festival, John Prine, Los Lobos and Jane Siberry not excepted. Her manager was pven forced to phone back to Buffalo for a emergency shipment of more tapes. (It may be hard for a Torontonian to believe that someone this good is from Buffalo but indeed she is). Many of DiFranco's songs are what could loosely be termed "relationship songs". But they're not the type of tunes that you'd hear Madonna singing. She looks at her relationships (and herselt) through very criti .cal and analytical eyes. Most of today's songwriters have abandoned consciously poetic lyrics, preferring a straight-ahead, street-level approach. Ani's songs are often poetry set to music, and sometimes just poetry without the music. Be not afraid. Certairily there are some embarrassingly twee lyrics written in the name of poetry but DiFranco isn't this type of writer. Her lyrics, combined with a strong sense of· rhythm and a wonderful gift for melody make her one of the most promising new performers on the scene today. Ani DiFranco will be appearing at the Ultrasound Showbar on Thursday, November 14, with Cate Friesen opening. This is an absolute must see concert. Ani DiFranco Live at The Greeks After . a . couple of musically rather slow months the Market's favourite nightclub is back with a stronger lineup than· ever. During the past month Johnny has played host to Lori Yates with Strum and Twang, Jim Heineman and John T. Davis, the blues guitar stylings of Ernest Lee and the Cotton Tractor as well as regulars such as AI Cromwell, Ted Rush, the Foggy Mountain Deadboys and Andy Carruthers and the Others. Some of the above mentioned new faces are returning . for regular gigs at the Greeks. Jim Heineman and John T., long time favourites at the Rex, will be performing regularly on Thursday evenings. These two superb musicians play a very accessible jazz - the type of jazz you can sing along with. Well, almost. Steve Hall and Imagine Rainbow Warriors is in for one night only on. Saturday, November 9. As for the rest of the Greeks programming? Check it out. There's music happening almost every night. And when there's no music, you can just. soak up the atmosphere. , Correction In last month's review of The Angels of Montenegro, a typographical error misspelled Darcy McFayden's name. ·· We apologize for that error.
