About the event
Pearly Moon
With a sound blending 12-string jangle, stompbox freakouts and melodic basslines, Pearly Moon’s tuneful lo-fi psychedelia invites you to turn off your mind, relax and float downstream. The group has shared stages with fellow psych purveyors Witch Victim, The Radiation Flowers, Doom Gong and more, and are working on a follow-up to their 2024 debut album Tragicomedy.
His His
The recording project of Halifax-based artist Aidan Belo, His His combines contemporary slacker rock and alt-folk, coupled with low fidelity analog production to create something that sounds honest and melancholic. Since their first release in 2020, they’ve exclusively recorded via cassette in an old wooden barn. We can’t wait to hear how it sounds live.
Bad Bodies
Born in 2018, Bad Bodies got their start jamming away in a snug attic. Combining the feel-good melodies of R&B with indie rock riffs and dreamy pop synths, they compose songs akin to paintings layered in warm pink, orange, and yellow. The resulting soundscapes build tension with confessional lyrics and infectious hooks, delivering a summer breeze of grooviness.
Medusas
Girls to the front! With feminist lyrics and fierce, electrifying performances, Medusas are a youth riot grrrl band from Calgary (and we love to see it)! Inspired by Bikini Kill, L7 and Joan Jett, the trio aims to encourage other young people to fight against injustice and stand up for what’s right.Our Friend Oscar
Blending dreamlike vocals, and fuzzy delayed guitar tones with a gritty ‘90s flair, slowcore/alternative group Our Friend, Oscar sonically and lyrically encapsulates what it's like to stay close with your upbringing and connected to your hometown. Perfect for partakers in "nostalgia-maxing" and seasonal depression.
Temps
Rooted in David Lavoie’s jazz background and Aidan O’Reilly’s post-punk sensibilities, Temps builds versatile textures and grooves through intertwining stereo guitars, resulting in angular riffs and technicolor chords. Their latest EP Wayside captures this interplay at its sharpest: jazzy, pop-leaning and mathy, with a precise yet unpredictable momentum.
