Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Vethaken Vethaken (formally Pravin Thompson Quartet) is the Brain Child of Guitarist, Pravin Thompson. This project has been performing in the United States, Canada, and India over the last 10 years but only recently has dawned a new Identity. Vethaken is a mix of Post-Hardcore and Prog-Jazz. Vethaken means wise eyes in “Tamil,” a South Indian language that Pravin’s family speaks. This name has significance in his family tree, but to Pravin it is more of a mantra. For him, it means you can always find beauty in whatever struggle that is presented to you, as most of the music in the Vethaken catalog has been written during times of distress. In 2019 Pravin was able to bring his band to play the Toronto Undergraduate Jazz Festival, opening for the incredible Donny McCaslin. In March 2020 Vethaken released their first LP, “A Thoughtful Collapse.” With the pandemic in full swing the band relied heavily on digital marketing. Utilizing Facebook and Instagram Ads along with great content to build a solid fan base throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. As of April 2026, Vethaken has made over $20,000 in online Merch sales across the United States. They have generated well over 1600 customers. Their next EP, “I’m all out of Beautiful Thoughts,” has been gaining traction across streaming platforms, and has brought a whole new dimension to their current sound. We Used to Cut The Grass We Used to Cut the Grass is a shapeshifting experimental ensemble from New Jersey led by composer/bassist Cody McCorry. Known for wildly varying instrumentation, the band is heavily inspired by the likes of Frank Zappa, John Zorn and Sun Ra, with roots in the blurred zone between progressive rock and jazz fusion. The group’s sophomore album, “We Used to Cut the Grass #2,” the follow up to their similarly self-titled album released in 2022, simultaneously made waves in the jazz, prog and math rock scenes, affirming the band’s unorthodox approach to composition. The album made it into Arctic Drones’ top 20 best jazz fusion albums of 2025, who described it as “a beautiful mess you didn’t know you needed.” My So Called Summer-For more than a decade, songwriter Claire Cuny and composer/producer Monte Weber have co-created the Brooklyn-born indie project first known as Reliant Tom and now re-imagined as My So-Called Summer. Blending Monte’s textural, boundary-pushing production with Claire’s visceral choreography and haunting vocals, the duo carved out a singular space in the Brooklyn indie scene—one that lived equally onstage, onscreen, and in immersive performance environments.

With a tip of the hat to the 90s Aus rock scene they grew up on, idolising greats such as The Celebrate Rifles and Radio Birdman.
