For the full schedule visit: www.nlfb.ca/events-schedule Thursday night after hours show ft. Brampton/Toronto rapper Haviah Mighty, with Sudbury's own Trapment warming things up. Haviah Mighty Haviah Mighty didn’t need to change her birth name when she decided to dedicate her career to music. In fact, Mighty couldn’t be more accurate to describe the 26-year-old artist, named one of XXL’s 15 Toronto Rappers You Should Know in 2019. Known for being one of the four MCs who make up The Sorority, Mighty is making equally large waves as a solo artist. Haviah’s explosive live show, filled with in-your-face intensity and her fast, technical flows, has also quickly developed her reputation. In 2019, she released her most fully realized body of work to date, and continues to carve out spaces that boldly defy gendered expectations for women in hip-hop. Trapment Originally from Dowling, ON, DJ and turntablist Trevor ‘Trapment’ Mantysaari is one of the country’s most skilled scratch & mix DJs. At Red Bull’s prestigious Thre3Style DJ competition in 2016, Trapment became the Canadian champion, and moved on to become the world’s vice-champion. He made a return at the 2019 edition, placing 3rd after a heated competition. Expect blazing hot routines and dancefloor igniting sets.

K'NAAN The product of a creative family, K’NAAN fled Mogadishu, Somalia with his family at age 13. After learning English, partly by immersing himself in the classic hip-hop albums of the ‘90s, he came to prominence in 1999 with a spoken word performance at the United Nations that caught the attention of Senegalese superstar Youssou N’Dour. K’NAAN’s debut album, 2005’s The Dusty Foot Philosopher, won the Juno for Rap Recording of the Year, and was nominated for the Polaris Music Prize. 2010’s Troubadour contained the smash single ‘Wavin’ Flag’. The song was first used as the soundtrack for the Haiti earthquake relief campaign, and then Coca-Cola’s theme song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The song quickly reached #1 on iTunes in 18 countries around the world, and launched K’NAAN into superstardom. 2012's God Country or the Girl included features from household names like Nas and Bono, and produced several hits of its own, marking a new trajectory for this eclectic artist.

Alex and Keaton, otherwise known as Social Furniture, make music about the nature of "things." Not about the David Suzuki show, but the mechanisms turning the world around us. Their music often plays with the dichotomy between urban centres and the natural world. And sometimes they just sing songs about drinking. The two met at a Halloween party Alex was hosting. A few years later they wrote their first song together. Music became the catalyst for their eventual marriage and creative collaboration. Fusing lyrics together out of prose and poetry, they compose songs that draw from the roots of colonial Canadiana folk music, with a dash of rock n’ roll. They are as comfortable playing Beatles covers as they are at regaling audiences with their own new-timey old-timey folk tunes. Their music always leaves audiences feeling at home no matter where they are.

Daniel Romano returns to Sudbury... We've seen him with Attack in Black, Ancient Shapes, many fine solo shows... now watch him combine it all into a hybrid of modern Folk and angular indie Rock... DANIEL ROMANO – “FINALLY FREE” “Finally Free” marks Daniel Romano’s eighth long playing album in the last eight years. He has had what understatedly would be considered a prolific output of incredibly entrancing, poignant and creative records in this span of time. Recording, producing, designing and landing his records into the minds and hearts of scores of fans the world over. He has been called a shapeshifter, contrived, a chameleon, a Charlatan, the best living songwriter, an asshole and a genius. His last record, “Modern pressure” received outstandingly high acclaim and praise from every notable publication out there and was acknowledged by most reputable “for-profit-prize-corporations” as well as a plethora of voguish “music-as-competitive-sport” year end lists. Despite being the bronze placeholder in most of these dogfights, he is most often noted as a person of astounding influence on all of his musically economic successors. “No matter what he does, everything he puts out is better than anything else being put out by anyone else.”– Unnamed Subjugate. Tickets $15.00 advance, $20 at the door + HST on sale tonight!!

Doors & Fours are coming from Hamilton, ON in support of their 2nd full length album, "Black Magik & Other Aphrodisiacs". Doors & Fours https://doorsandfours.bandcamp.com/ Perpetual War Machine https://perpetualwarmachine.bandcamp.com Lightmares https://lightmares.bandcamp.com Like A Girl https://likeagirl.bandcamp.com/track/dirty-dorito-hands Doors & Fours BIO: Doors & Fours spawned as a "protest" against the plethora of extremely overproduced and computerized music coming out of the heavy music scene as of late. Doors & Fours was created by Adam Peach & René Thivierge while playing in PYTHON (a heavy metal band from Hamilton, ON), in an effort to create raw, catchy, hook-driven songs, Peach moved from the mundane suburbs of Brampton to the mean streets of Hamilton to live on Thivierge's couch, with the clothes on his back and his guitar. From there, they began writing what would become the first Doors & Fours demo, containing just 3 songs: "Fight Song", "Pass The Time", "Full Go", with Joe Piccolo on drums. A month later, D4 released their first EP, titled "Skid", containing 5 brand new songs. "Skid" was recorded and produced in just 7 hours in July 2017 - just over 30 days after releasing their demo. Evan Greenaway (PYTHON) played drums on the EP. Keeping true to the original idea of producing raw, catchy, rock music, D4 produced both the demo and the EP from the house Peach and Thivierge reside at, using basic recording gear and a laptop computer. In November 2017, D4 decided to recruit Hamilton-based drummer Paige McAleney. With McAleney on drums, D4 finally had the final piece it was looking for, to adapt it's own unique sound - a heavy dose of explosive, raw, crunchy, punk-driven rock music, with meaningful lyrics and a "go f**k yourself" attitude. The band has since released 2 full-length albums, 2 EP's, and 2 live albums -...
