Empty Spaces

Tonight at Refined Fool!
FREE SHOW

Sponsor Appreciation post!
We have always loved , not only for their mean pies, but also for the amazing people behind Sarnia's best pizza factory 🍕🍕 The Giresi brother's have played a crucial part in the history of Empty Spaces. Their absolutely seminal band The Chocolate Robots played the very first show in April 2008 in a small workshop in the Lochiel Street courtyard, alongside Toronto's Ruby Coast, as well as a percussion/citar set by and Brock Dale.
The Robots would continue to play many Empty Spaces shows (including the very first Empty Fest the following year) and begin to make waves nationally. When they decided to put the band on hold to focus on the pizza business, I think it broke many a music fans hearts. But of course, everyone respected the dedication these hardworking gents had towards the family business and Giresi's remains the city's best pizzeria to this day.

To conclude, one of the most badass rock n roll moments in Sarnia history (to me anyways) was when the Robots rolled up in a fully decked out Uhaul (lasers, PA system, generator etc) to a random north-end party in the summer of 2011, performing Misirlou by Dick Dale (aka the Pulp Fiction theme song). They gave us a quick taste of their cube truck rock, before closing the hatch and rolling up to multiple other parties that night.
Imo, this is why the Giresi's are legends ❤️🍕🎸

The stages of this year’s festival are going to receive a major visual boost thanks to the colorful and psychedelic live projections of the Oscillitarium. Over the past decade, the trio has worked hard to elevate the festival going experience with their unique blend of liquid light techniques and original footage. It’s an honor to bring them to Sarnia for the final Empty Fest ❤️❤️❤️ Come see their amazing visual creations for yourself when they light up the stages at Refined Fool Brewing Co. and Maud's Variety this weekend!
