Hot Tickets: November 6-12

Fun Palace Radio

A ray of hope in an otherwise bleak week and a half of ongoing news about the abuse allegations against Jian Ghomeshi has been the petition and fundraiser Gesture Of Love And Support for the victims by musicians, authors and artists from across the country. 

“We condemn the PR attempt to make you out to be a ‘jilted ex’ and we see through the deplorable strategy of rerouting a conversation that should be about consent and assault to one about BDSM,” reads the petition, before ending with, “We believe you.” 

As of Monday, November 3, close to 8,000 people had added their signatures, including Owen Pallett, Shary Boyle, Fucked Up, Geoff Berner, Austra’s Katie Stelmanis and several Constantines, to name but a handful. 

And who penned these powerful words? Artist Amy Lam and the ever active, ever socially aware Simone Schmidt of Fiver and the Highest Order. 

You can show Schmidt your support for her haunting, narrative-driven psych-roots music by heading to the eclectic variety show she plays Friday alongside Sasha Chapin and Lisa Bozikovic.
