this is wrongIn 1983, UNIT/PITT presented the Wrong Wave Festival. Twenty-eight years later, we are pleased to present three nights of music by artists, or more specifically music by artists’ bands. Curated by The Music Appreciation Society, the festival will consist of two nights of bands and DJs at The Waldorf Hotel (Wednesday the 14th and Thursday the 15th), a one-night “chamber performance” by Mathew Sawyer at UNIT/PITT (Friday the 16th), and a panel discussion /listening event on the history of the influential Vancouver art band UJ3RK5, at Emily Carr University (Saturday, September 17, at 2pm).
