Hamilton Arts Week 2021, with our (overdue) finale event:

WAX MANNEQUIN LIVE IN CONCERT!

Chris Adeney (Wax), and the band will be performing and streaming LIVE from Bridgeworks. “Adeney's music veers from scrappy prog oddness and distressed folk to absurdist stadium metal, all with a dark humour that borders on absurdism … He [Adney] has appeared in thousands of pub, gallery and festival stages worldwide and continues to carve an indelible groove in the modern music underground with his weekly web series Red Brain Show.”
