A DJ, a substitute teacher, a fashion designer, a lovechild, a geo-scientist, and an immigrant walk into a bar. After much debate and rhetoric our motley crew of mouth-breathers assign roles. The DJ makes it beat, the teacher makes it prompt, the fashionisto makes it glossy, the lovechild makes it work, the geo-scientist digs for fire, and the immigrant makes it gorgeous. Confined between four walls that drip with the sweat and history of Vancouver melody past, these six heroes join hands and voices and strings and sticks to craft the Voltron-esque megabot known to those who love them as “this band”. There's a bravery in showcasing verses and choruses of the tender variety. Luckily, a band wrapped in laughter and pastels will never shrink under its own sheepishness. Have you heard The Good News?
You guys blow me away!! One of my favourite sounds to date!! Haunting, and cheerful... thank you so much for putting out the Good Tuneage, Good News!!!
I wish I could be at Richards on Richards August 17th. It sounds like fun. IndieCan will be thinking of you. Let us know how it goes. We are honored to bring an hour of great emerging music to listeners, complete with artist and industry insider interviews, reviews and the best music you've never heard! We would love to hear from you - what you're liking and what you just need more of. We're listening.
