MUSIC: Tuesdays are instrumental surf nights at Mitzi’s Sister—no doubt due to the booking inclinations of Dodge Fiasco drummer Sean Dignan. This week the crazy carnival of sound Camp Combo plays, with Great Bob Scott on drums, Rachel Melas on bass, Nichol Robertson on guitar, and Fred Spek leading on sax and vocals. Mitzi’s Sister (1554 Queen Street West), 10 p.m., pay-what-you-can.

The approach to Trinity-Bellwoods on Tuesday night evoked a brain reel of pop-culture iconography: Morpheus triumphantly addressing a sweaty, gyrating crowd of robocracy-epoch survivalists; Eric Cartman's hippie drill on a crusade against jam-fests everywhere. Close enough to the Garrison Creek ravine near the park's center, the imagery assumes a vaguely post-apocalyptic quality; considering the circle's recent history, the dancing, percussive multitude brought together by Drummers In Exile must get the whole flight-of-humanity thing on some level.
