Expanda Fuzz played a pop-up show at McCranks Cycles on Dec 23 to raise money for the Ottawa Food Bank
Thanks to everyone who came out to our show as part of 'Shanks at McCranks'. While admission was free, we accepted donations for the Ottawa Food Bank.
We played alongside friends Patrick Shanks, Casey Comeau, Clear and Sean Tansey.
The final take was over $630 for the Food Bank! Thank you to everyone who donated.
What a fantastic way to end 2018.
We're joining some friends to put on a show in a fantastic little local business to raise some funds for the Ottawa Food Bank this season.
Come by McCrank's Bike Shop on Bank St. in Ottawa, 6pm on Sunday Dec 23.
Bring your own cheer, but more importantly, bring some bills to stuff in the pot for the food bank.

About:
Expanda Fuzz was conceived attempting to rip apart a Pink Floyd song with a distorted bass and a fuzz-driven guitar through a ripped speaker cabinet...while playing to a Roland 404 sampler. The result of that experiment can be heard on the duo’s records, where they showcase their brand of catchy, droney, post-punk songs that hook heavily into a psych-garage sound.
Think Kim Deal fronting the Velvet Underground, or Mary Timony jamming with Suicide. For more info, check out the bio page.
