Art’s Birthday - Radio Cabaret, broadcast live from the Artel.January 16th, 2011
“Art’s Birthday” is an annual event first proposed in 1963 by French artist Robert Filliou. He suggested that 1,000,000 years ago, there was no art. But one day, on the 17th of January to be precise, Art was born. Filliou proposed a public holiday to celebrate the presence of art in our lives. In recent years, the idea has been taken up by a loose network of artists and friends around the world. This year CFRC 101.9FM has partner…ed with The Artel to throw a blow-out, mind-altering, trans-cosmic, conceptual Birthday Cabaret for dear Art. Bring your best baked confectionery (CAKE!) to The Artel at 7:00PM to enter the Cake Contest. Cake’s will be judged by local celebrities!

Giant Hand with Winchester Warm and Megan HamiltonJanuary 2nd, 2011
YGK Productions present their first show of the year! Megan Hamilton (Kingston) …Winchester Warm (Ottawa) Giant Hand (Ottawa)
Giant Hand (from Giant Hand myspace page) Just two months after picking up a guitar for the first time, Ottawa’s Kirk Ramsay adopted the name Giant Hand, and was playing his first ever show, opening for Vancouver band, Immaculate Machine in the basement of a record store. A month later he found himself opening for Born Ruffians. For his third show Kirk was invited to perform at the prestigious Ottawa Bluesfest. Over the years since, Kirk has garnered opening slots for Daniel Johnston as well as a number of high-profile Canadian acts, including Handsome Furs, Ohbijou, Timber Timbre, and The Acorn. 2009 was a hallmark year for Kirk Ramsay/Giant Hand. Following the release of his debut full length album, Coming Home, MOG.com raved: “Giant Hand is one of the most interesting musicians to come out of Ottawa in recent years, and Coming Home is among the best albums of the year in Canadian music.” Also in 2009, Giant Hand played his second year in a row at Ottawa Bluesfest, had two showcases at Pop Montreal and played a sold out show in Toronto opening for Daniel Johnston at the MOD Club. Giant Hand was also nominated in three different categories in Ottawa Xpress’ “Best of 2009” poll, including Best Act, was listed as one of the top acts of 2009 in I(Heart)Music’s “Hottest Bands in Canada” list, and landed the front cover of Ottawa Magazine’s Winter issue. So far in 2010 Giant Hand has toured across Ontario and Canada‘s East Coast as well as shows in New York City and Vermont. He was interviewed for MTV News’ “On The Radar” played shows at Canadian Music Week, NXNE, and has finished recording a new EP, titled Starting as People, with The Acorn’s Rolf Klausener, which is set for release in early 2011.
