One of the more delightfully zany concepts to land at Track Could Bend, this ad hoc band (with FASTER's Brian Abbot and Kayla Milmine plus Mike Lynn and Gord Fynes) was deployed to exploit one of Andy Dolgin's stranger talents: a perfect recall of the toy commercials, cereal ads and YTV PSA's from his youth. Over a rampaging improvised punkrock soundtrack (which is not particularly well-served by these recordings, I must apologize) Dolgin, cereal box armour and all, bounced through a whole heap of super-short jingle-sized tunes with hyperactive vigour. This was billed as a one-off, but there's no way this isn't happening again. I want it! I want it now! Buy meeee one!

[Track Could Bend will be back at Dundas Video on September 6th, with Isla Craig, Mark Hundevad & Mike Gennaro and Jesse James Laderoute's Catholic Wilt. Meanwhile, Professor Andy Dolgin will be extolling the virtues of his medicinal tonic at a night with the Candy Apple Jazz Band at The Local Pub on August 18th.]
