BOP PRESENTS SHOUT OUT OUT OUT OUT AND OUR MERCURY
Planet Ze, Edmonton, AB - Aug. 17-18/07



On August 17 & 18, Brent Oliver Presents (BOP) is proud to host a special show for two of Edmonton ’s best. Local Juno nominees and Normals Welcome/Six Shooter recording artists Shout out out out out play the Planet Ze Design Centre at 10055 80 Ave. This interesting and intimate venue is the perfect venue for the electro dance party that SO4 brings to the stage. This is the group’s first show since New Year’s Eve and may be their only performance of 2007.

Besides Shout out out out out headlining, both shows will feature the farewell performance for Edmonton ’s Our Mercury. Our Mercury evolved from solid punk rock background (as Misdemeanor) into a band with diverse influences and a purposeful sound and message. In keeping with what the name Our Mercury represents, John explains, "It means so many different things: it is the only metal that is liquid; it’s poisonous; it’s the name of a planet; it’s a Greek god who was a messenger. The music is our mercury, it is our message to the people, and not the same old message; it is unique, fluid and mobile." Calling it quits after being a band for close to 11 years, Our Mercury decides to send it off with their friends’ (and producer Nik Kozub) band, SO4.

Rounding out the bill is Boston ’s San Serac. After releasing Ice Age on his own Frog Man Jake label, San Serac played countless shows in the U.S. and Europe with ADULT, Wilderness, Chromatics, Height, Colder, Ratatat, DAT Politics and The Gossip to name a few, and at parties like Cobra Kai, P.S.1 Warm Up, Horse Meat Disco, Tax Lo, POP! and Dirty Down. Part of Trevor Jackson's (Playgroup) influential Output Recordings label in the UK (before it folded last year), San Serac is the newest signing to Normals Welcome Records with his new album, 'Professional', due out this fall. This will be his first Edmonton performance.
