Canadian Music Weeks gets goin tonight right here in Toronto. Here are some bands you should keep on your radar!
Bike Thiefs – Monday May 2 @ Bovine Sex Club
3 piece alt-punk group out of Mississauga. Their name may be grammatically incorrect but if the Maple Leafs can do it then why not Bike Thiefs too.
The Naked Wild – Tuesday May 3 @ Bovine Sex Club
Catchy pop-rock group from Toronto. Past winners of the Delis Band of the Month Poll. Formerly a 3 piece but now employ a full time drummer. Go enjoy these easy rock tunes.
Stonetrotter – Tuesday May 3 @ Cameron House
Soulful rock n roll out of Barrie. Real Canadian tunes with nice harmonies and mellow guitarmonies. Cut from the same cloth as the Sheepdogs.
Pony – Wednesday May 4 @ The Silver Dollar Room
I’ve been waitin’ to hear more from Pony. Hoping for a new record from them soon. These gals play very nice lo-fi garage pop that’ll hook you instantly.
Pet Sun – Wednesday May 4 @ Smiling Buddha AND Friday May 6 @ Lee’s Palace
One of our favorites here at the Deli. Pet Sun comes from Hamilton with top notch doom garage. They are about to take over so don’t miss either of these opportunities to see them "before it was cool"
Ol’CD – Thursday May 5 @ Handlebar
Garage/surf/psych/all around awesome friggin’ tunes. This band will make you want to party…straight up. They go on super late on Thursday so you’ll be primed and ready. Don’t even think about working on Friday.
Chastity – Friday May 6 @ Velvet Underground
Very mysterious band out of Whitby. Interesting tunes with cool arrangements and a laziness to the vocals that keeps you concentrated. Alt-rock with a progessive twist.
Get a CMW Pass and enjoy! -Kris Gies
