Ragtime goes digital

Welcome to Ragtime Promotions; a Toronto based promotions company that focuses on providing an artist-friendly environment, and on providing an inviting atmosphere for music fans to come and discover new and exciting sounds each and every time they come out.

Currently, Ragtime Promotions is booking for Ragtime Thursdays, and is accepting submissions for the Split Level Festival in Mid-August.

Ragtime Thursday – May 20th, 2010

If you love independent rock, then this is definitely a night that you cannot afford to miss.

The night begins with you taking a trip through the the lush, layered soundscapes created by Brampton’s own Animatist.

Next comes the recently-relocated-from-Montreal, ready to bowl you over with their remarkably unique, yet somehow familiar brand of experimental rock Derbert Plaza

Closing the night is the ever-so-tight, delightfully-funkalicious grooves of the uncategorizable Amnesia Vivace.

So there you have it.  Add in $12 Pitchers, and you have the makings of an absolutely unforgettable evening.

Hard Luck Bar (812 Dundas Street West)

Doors at 8 pm.  PWYC

Ragtime Thursday – May 27, 2010

This week’s Ragtime Thursday features some of Toronto’s best independent hip hop!

Marvel at the lyrical abilities of DueyDoWhat?

Tremble with fear as Abstract Random brings a sound to the stage that you are certain should not come from only two people!

Thrill to the genre-bending, heart-rending, message-sending, pants-mending* stylings of Crossword!

Show is at Hard Luck Bar, as usual (812 Dundas West) Doors at 8:30, music at 9:30!

PWYC

*Note – Crosswords stylings may be awesome, but their pants-mending abilities may be greatly exaggerated.

Ragtime Thursday, May 13th, 2010

This week’s Ragtime Thursday features some incredible independent rock n’roll from Toronto bands!

Kicking off the night are The Snipes, who provide a high-octane, stripped down, fuzzed-up rock n’roll assault.

Following the Snipes come the youthful exuberance, pounding drum beats and relentless guitar sounds of THE STORMALONGS

Bringing the night to a head is the joyous, melodic prog-pop stylings of The Decade of Sleep

To add to all the great music, there are also $12 pitchers at the bar!

Hard Luck Bar (812 Dundas Street West)

PWYC, doors at 8 pm.

If you aren’t excited about this bill, you have ice water in your veins!
