SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 2026 Nate Waters (solo) + First show of 2026! Sometime back in 2025, Nate Waters (multi-reedist of various local jazz combos, including the Nate Waters Trio with Jeff Gammon and Afo Fapojuwo; leader of post-punk weirdos Eye of Newt; and member of Temps, Bennett Mitchell, and Samantha Savage Smith's band) played one of the finest sets of reeds & electronics that we've seen in recent memory. To help kick off the new year, Nate has agreed to revisit this approach on alto sax. Behold! Chris Dadge, along with Scott Munro and David Laing, formed Bug Incision some 20 years to release their own music and help audiences understand what they're getting into at their shows. Since then, he's played with many improvisors from all over the world (Joe Morris, Peter Evans, Eugene Chadbourne, Jason Kahn) and also established himself as a producer, engineer, and session musician in the pop music world (Alvvays, Chad Van Gaalen, Lab Coast, Samantha Savage Smith). On this night he will also play solo, on a relatively conventional drumkit. Jonathon Wilcke, the other runner of Bug Incision since 2012, is one of the city's most adventurous sonic explorers, most recently seen using the soprano saxophone as their highly potent method of delivery. Last year saw two fresh releases from Wilcke's mind, mouth, lungs, and fingers: the debut release from Eating Speed (their free jazz trio with Rob Oxoby and Eric Hamelin) and the head-spinning solo release My Horn Is Straighter Than Me. Jeremy Brown heads up the music department at the University of Calgary, and is widely regarded as one of the preeminent purveyors of reed-based new music. Recent highlights from him include Seas Coming For Me, a collaboration with experimental electronic duo NUM, and a few years ago, a killer duo recording with guitarist Joe Morris. This the first time these two intrepid hornspeople will have tussled, so don't miss it!
Tys Burger will be known to most as frontperson of the wonderfully weird and effusive post-punk ensemble Dial-Up, but is also a documentary filmmaker whose recent film Trans Canada was released in August and can be viewed on CBC Gem. This set will see Tys explore a short set of solo acoustic guitar music, that maybe has more in common with the solo album that was recently completed in late 2025. + in-between set music by DJ Jeremy Curry |

BUG INCISION ARCHIVES: |
In January of 2020, we began work on the Bug Incision Archives, which rounded up all audio, video, & photo documentation, press coverage, and promotional materials relating to the Bug Incision Presents concert series, dating back to early 2006. While this archive will undoubtedly result in some new documentation being available to the general public, the main goal is for it to be accessible to its participants (the artists and documenters) for their own uses, while also providing a thorough overview of the series' activities for internal purposes. HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Bug Incision has a huge archive of materials in its possession currently, but there are holes all over the 18 year history, not to mention more and potentially better-quality iterations of existing event documentation. If you have any photos, videos, or audio recordings of Bug Incision Presents concerts, we would be very interested in getting our hands on them for inclusion in the archive. For information on how to get us these media items, as well as information on privacy, credits, and more details about the planned usage of materials, please email: bugincision@gmail.com |
