Soothe the Savage Beast

Eyelevel Gallery's annual fundraiser, Pet Spectacle, celebrates our four-legged, feathered, floating and furry friends. Artists are creating one-of-a-kind, pet-inspired paraphernalia, including dwellings, accessories, toys, dishes and clothing (or pet-à-porter!). All masterpieces will be auctioned off at a dance party, November 25, at FRED.

To celebrate, we're launching a limited edition CD compilation of local bands and musicians who love their pets, or other people's animals. It can be a new song, an old song - we're not picky. It doesn't need an animal theme, but it should remind you of animals. In the wild or on the foot of your bed.

Here's what we're asking for:
-one MP3 track
-band bio (50 word limit)
-digital pet photo & bio. If there is more than one pet involved, send photos of them all!

Here's what you'll receive:
-one copy of the CD
-free admission to the November 25th party
-a darn good feeling knowing that you supported a good cause. All the proceeds go towards supporting Eyelevel
Gallery's free exhibitions, workshops, performances and community events such as the Go North! studio tour.

Please send all music, photos and bios by November 3rd:

I suggest a holiday tune, just in time for Christmas. Here's some inspiration:

Have you seen Mogwai?

Mogwai is missing from his loving home on Hunter St. near the Rock Garden on Oct 11. May have wandered to Oxford near Allan - his old 'hood. His meows apparently sound like "mo...mo....mo...." - which is adorable.

If you see him, fellow Haligonians, please visit this thread on HalifaxLocals.com and PM Mogwai's owner.
