Status/Non-Status and By Divine Right with guests Self Cut Bangs, sadbirthdays

Status/Non-Status (London, ON)

With a name that demands attention, Status/Non-Status is a band that boldly explores Indigenous identity, politics, and ancestry. Their music blends folk rock, psychedelia, post-rock, and grunge into powerful soundscapes that resonate with emotional depth and cultural significance.

By Divine Right (Toronto, ON)

By Divine Right features the psych-infused art-pop songwriting of Chilean-born singer/guitarist José Contreras. In the early days, By Divine Right’s ever-evolving line-up, counting amongst some of its members Feist, Brendan Canning (Broken Social Scene) and Brian Bordchert (Holy Fuck), made it one of Canada’s first indie rock collectives.

Self Cut Bangs

Two weddings and a baby. Just a few of the major life events to account for the gap between Self-Cut Bangs’ sophomore album and their latest, Growth Spurts, a true family affair. Now featuring two married couples, they self-describe as “like Fleetwood Mac, but replacing the drama and drugs with more guitar solos.” A retro future rock & roll statement powered by a cotton candy jet engine.
