The Over The Top Festival is Back (May 3-6, 2007)

[whacked]

For Immediate Release - March 1, 2007: The Over The Top Festival is Back

The Over The Top Festival is returning to Toronto for its sixth straight year and will run from May 3rd to 6th, 2007.

The upbeat, entirely all-ages music festival is making its first foray into film, theatre and visual art. This synergizes well with Over The Top’s main theme which, since its inception mandates exposing audiences of all ages to new and interesting artists in a variety of alternative music settings.

Over The Top 2007 promises to be the most exciting fest to date, especially with its innovative programming. Each year the festival has continued to grow in leaps and bounds; a true testament to its growing embrace from a very supportive audience excited to see their new favourite bands.

Musical performers for the Over The Top 2007 edition include: Daniel Johnston, Michael Gira, Mt. Eerie, Flosstradamus, Julie Doiron, Meligrove Band, Japanther, Matt & Kim, Page France, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Peter & The Wolf, Arnold Dreyblatt & many others.

Film screenings for the festival include: Jandek - A Duality of Self, The Guatemalan Handshake & Before The Music Dies amongst others. Over The Top is very excited to announce the inclusion of Giant Killer Shark: The Musical, a standout musical that is remarkably similar to a 1975 film about a killer shark that stalks the residents of a copyright-protected island.
