promise cherry beach sunday afternoon soundsystem

It's an interesting weekend for us. Irving's got his high school reunion,  and David is off in Thunder Bay helping with the rigging for a performance up there by Eli and friends of the Zero Gravity Circus. David flies back in time for sunday afternoon.

This sunday we team up with good friends Farbsie and the Make It Funky breaks crew. They're helping out all round with the afternoon and contributing some stellar djs that span the break beat genre from funky to dubby to tech-y to slow burn. Also joining us will be Anne McCullough (AMtrak) from Vancouver, and Katie's new favourite band Famous Lovers from Montreal in the midst of a east country tour.

Steve Lloyd - deep house
Farbsie and Sunpredictable - beach party funk
Famous Lovers - live from Montreal
AMtrak - techno and house from BC
Robb G - tech-y break beats
sunset surprise guest
Big League Chu - slow burn funk

3 to 11pm

CHANGE OF LOCATION!
Cherry Beach is just along Lakeshore past Parliament. Turn down Cherry Street and follow it to the end. At the roundabout go left - NOW HERE'S THE CHANGE - at the end of the east parking lot follow the bike path corridor through the fenced off area to the other side, then cut through the trees down to the lake. We're on the beach by the water beside the  windsurfing club.

Biking to Cherry Beach is easy along the paths beside the lake, a bus route from Union Station goes down there too.

Things to think about: Please bring only what you plan to take back out with you - leave no trace. Pack something warm (it gets cool after dark by the lake) and something to sit on and also something to keep sun off your head. Drink lots of water. Bring something to share.

And remember to take care of your friends, your neighbours, and what's going on around you. It's what makes afternoons at Cherry Beach happen smoothly.

Donations
Thanks everyone for your help with Cherry Beach. It's been tight keeping up with expenses and we really appreciate your continued support.

this MONDAY September 3rd - Final
promise cherry beach monday afternoon soundsystem

Thanks everyone for the kind and generous donations last sunday - in just that one day you donated exactly enough to cover the cost of the weekend plus enough to replace everything that had been stolen from our van the weekend before.  Thank you so much, it feels good to hold these events for such good people.

Join us for an early start at 2 on this last day of sunny summer afternoons down at the beach.

Two important things:
In a solid effort to reduce the amount of garbage generated by the afternoon, we encourage you to remember to bring reusable cups and bottles.

Also, consumption of alcohol in public space is not allowed. Simple. We've done a great job so far, let's keep it tight, and help friends on the blanket beside you to remember too. David and Irving are at the beach to enjoy the afternoon and patrolling around watching for open alcohol gets tedious.

Our lineup this weekend has a special feature. We recently have had a visitor who surprises us by playing saxophone really well along with the dj. It turns out his whole crew comes up from Buffalo each week to enjoy the party and they are awesome people. One of them is a good dj and they play together on small tours. As Canadians, we tend to generalize a lot about the U.S. and about Americans, but we need to remember that there are some millions of fine people just south of us. Here are two of them.

Here's the line up:

Aia - downtempo funk
Dalia - classic dub and hip hop
A Man Called Warwick - brazilian rare groove
Zuk and Killian from Buffalo - deep house with Killian on sax
Maracatu Nunca Antes - samba drum crew
Phat Conductor - breaks
Ian Guthrie - minimal techno
Alex Courner - deep trance

2 to 11pm

We recently had a cute Promise Cherry Beach sticker printed. If you like stickers for your gear remember to ask for one.
