Chinese Food's Future Is On Fire

Spadina Avenue is the home of Toronto's main Chinatown and a great place to enjoy oriental cooking. But if you're more into music than gastronomy, the Horseshoe Tavern at Spadina and Queen will present some Chinese Food of its own when a local band of that name release their When The Future Caught On Fire debut album there on Nov. 1.

Fans will be able to buy vinyl copies or digital download cards for the album, which won't be released on CD. When The Future Caught On Fire was mixed by Adam King (Cancel Winter, Sue Passmore) and mastered by Noah Mintz (Broken Social Scene, Stars). You can hear four songs from When The Future Caught On Fire on Chinese Food's MySpace page.

Singer/guitarist Tim Beresford, bassist/vocalist Miles Peart, keyboarist/vocalist Eric Schwindt and drummer Doug Wilson have been playing rhythmic rock together since 2006. Their When The Future Caught On Fire EP, which features four tracks from the LP, came out last year.

Chinese Food will also play Othello's in Stratford, Ont. on Nov. 7.
