ABOUT THE BANDS
*The Consumer Goods* are a wickedly sharp absurdist political indie pop band from Winnipeg/Toronto/other places. They play crunchy pop songs with a hint of alt-country and death-folk, and they sing fun songs about oppression, imperialism and resistance. The band is made up of five (sometimes six and seven) good friends who have all made their mark in Winnipeg’s beautifully cohesive and under-attentioned music scene. Their members have collectively played on something like 50 different records (seriously) in projects like the Horribly Awfuls, Cone Five, Paper Moon, the Bonaduces, Cheatron, Enjoy Your Pumas, the Honeybuckets, the Haste, Use Every Part of the Deer, Mr. Pine, the Poets, and lonely hunters.

*use every part of the deer* is an Ottawa-based death-roots band comprising Susanna Wiens, Matt McLennan and, when playing in Winnipeg, Sean Pauls. Matt is the principle songwriter, and is otherwise known for his work with Canadian college radio success stories Cone Five and Mr. Pine. use every part of the deer is inspired by such American musics as bluegrass, gospel, classic country, and punk. Having formed in summer of 2007, the band is looking to establish itself as a live presence in Ottawa and to release its first album on Grumpy Cloud Records in 2008.
