October 2008 Chart magazine cover stars The Waking Eyes will play a free show on Thursday at Winnipeg's Centennial Concert Hall as part of the Manitoba Music & Film Showcase.

The band will appear with many other Manitoban musicians, including Eagle & Hawk, Fresh I.E., Ray St. Germain, Bryce Pallister, Twilight Hotel, Inward Eye, Dominique Reynolds, Steve Bell, Heather Bishop, Alana Levandoski and Flo. The event will also feature films written and directed by Manitoban filmmakers.

"The aim of this event is to showcase Manitoba's outstanding and diverse film and music talent right here in our own backyard, and, right on site, educate Manitobans on how to enter and/or further develop their skills in Manitoba's film and music industries," says Manitoba Film & Music CEO Carole Vivier.

The Waking Eyes' third studio album, Holding On To Whatever It Is, was released in November. The Winnipeg band temporarily moved to Toronto from September to November to promote it. Check out video footage of their Chart photo shoot at their humble abode on "Asshole" Avenue in Etobicoke here.
