A Decade of Sundays - Aidan Baker
With our Wavelength 500 Tenth Anniversary Festival starting this week, Wavelength will be printing a special commemorative edition of the WL zine that will not only act as a festival program guide, but also look back over the last decade of Sunday nights. We asked members of the Toronto music community to share their remembrances and tell us what Wavelength means to them. We didn't have room to include all the submissions in print, so we'll be posting those didn't make it into the zine here on the Wavelog.
AIDAN BAKER I've played Wavelength a number of times with a number of groups, some still active, some long-defunct, at all four venues Wavelength has called home. But I still remember fondly the first time, way back in May of 2000 at Ted's Wrecking Yard with my trio ARC. It wasn't my very first show, but it was one of the first. We opened for Michelle McAdorey, which we all thought was pretty cool — we might not have been the biggest Crash Vegas fans, but still, it was... cool. Plus, Eric Chenaux was playing with her. I told him I'd been a Phleg Camp fan, which he said made him feel old. After our set, Jonny compared us to Can — which made sense — and Doc compared us to Genesis — which kind of didn't... but that was all right. I’ve played a lot of shows in a lot of different cities since then and the Wavelengthers definitely number among the more supportive and enthusiastic promoters out there. — Aidan Baker is a guitarist/composer/improviser and a member of doom metal duo Nadja.

Wavelength is a weekly live music series based in Toronto. It was founded in late 1999 by a loose collective of frustrated yet hopeful independent musicians trying breathe some life into some of the darker corners of Toronto's perpetually overlooked indie music scene.
