Skin and Bones Music Series // How To Survive A High Rise Hotel Fire & Wizard Meat

After a three year hiatus, the Skin and Bones Music Series has returned!

For those who may not be familiar, the Skin And Bones Music Series is an Okanagan Arts Award nominated concert series dedicated to the presentation of experimental music in the Okanagan, and is produced through the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art. Since 2015 the series has created space for emerging, innovative, and unique musical performances across the Okanagan.

Ushering in this resurgence of experimental music is How To Survive A High Rise Hotel Fire and Wizard Meat, preforming at DunnEnzies Pizza Co. on August 2nd!

Started by bassist Nikko Whitworth and oboist Haley Bird, How To Survive A High Rise Hotel Fire's collective of musicians, meld elements of noise and free jazz to create a community around co-regulation, meaning-making and nonsense-making through sound.

Wizard Meat describes themselves as the unholy trio of Adam Preston on electric bass, PJ Hermann on drums, and Darren Williams on baritone saxophone. “Our music is our meat, our instruments our abattoir.” Joining them for this performance will be guitarist Brian Looney of High Horse and Behemoth Sleeps fame.

Doors open at 8pm, with music starting at 9pm. Tickets are $10 at the door - $5 for Alternator Members and students. For more information about this event, click here.
