biographical info
At a place in between post, kraut, psychedelic and punk rock; nestled
in the hills and valleys of electronic, experimental and drone, is a
space that is Off The International Radar. Formed by Henry Sansom, Don
Kennedy and Aaron Dawson in the basement of the Toronto house they
shared, OTIR has grown from parties crammed with projected images and
sweaty minds to sharing stages with Holy Fuck, A Place to Bury
Strangers, Polmo Polpo, Mahogany and Quintron. A vast record collection
and a deep love of music combined to bring them together, taking their
different influences and honing them down into a sound variously
described as epic, hypnotic and throbbing.
