Ottawa favorites HILOTRONS have mostly been seen backing up silent movies for the past year or two, with few proper live performances as a band. That will change Saturday night at Wakefest in Wakefield, QC. Art thou prepared for sweaty dancing madness, young dragon warrior? (Yes, King Lorik!!).

The weekend festival features a whack of music, film, dance, theatre and art vernissage events; check out wakefest.org for full details.
