C’est What Celebrates 19 Years of Firsts… and Looks to a Future in Music Online TORONTO, ON - December 21, 2006 – It was on the stage at Toronto’s C’est What that many of today’s leading independent musicians first got their road legs. A quick look back on an illustrious past two decades reveals memories of shows by local lights Barenaked Ladies, Feist, Hawksley Workman, Ron Sexsmith, Sarah Harmer, Sarah Slean, and The Tea Party as well as international stars of the magnitude of Jeff Buckley, Jewel, Roger Hodgson, and Wilco. Now with an almost entire re-modeling of the club and stage room, as well as becoming Toronto’s first venue to stream all of it’s live shows online at whatsnext.ca, C’est What definitely has it’s roots planted in the future. “The silver lining to all of this has been that it has allowed us to re-examine the role that we play in the culture of our community and put together a new, exciting way to present the abundance of talent in our City to the world,” says George Milbrandt, C’est What President. And with the advent of online culture, C’est What hopes to make the next 20 years of breakthrough performances available without the constraints of traditional music consumption. “The great thing about streaming radio is that it expands the possibilities for a cultural conversation,” offers Crispin Giles, music director of the venue. “Traditional radio is a one-way monologue. Internet streaming allows for a dialogue without interrupting the most important thing: the music.” Not only will all the shows be streamed live but the performances themselves will be archived for podcasts. The artists are also supported with web space courtesy of C’est What. “There is a lot more to facilitating great music performances than a room covered in black paint and we are committed to making that change in our community” Milbrandt states. With the opening of the new stage room and an inspired commitment to online support of the artists taking that stage, Toronto’s vanguard live music performance venue C’est What is sure to make the next 20 years of avant-garde, breakthrough performances that much more critical.
