Free event. Priority given to passholders.
sundayclub
Blurring hazy indie pop with dreamy textures and unfiltered storytelling, sundayclub’s songcraft doubles as grainy, glowing snapshots of early adulthood. Formed in rural Manitoba, the group captures the strange, beautiful in-between of who you were and who you’re becoming, sharpening in sound as their sense of self comes into focus.
Often Wrong
Combining a DIY attitude and emotionally vulnerable lyrics, Often Wrong creates a combination of emo and post-hardcore inspired by bands such as Unwound, Slint, and Train Breaks Down, and authors such as Franz Kafka and Sylvia Plath, coupling tragic monologues of spoken word with cathartic screamed choruses.
Kingdom of Birds
A grunge-punk three-piece formed in high school, Kingdom of Birds continue to rise five years after their fiery creation, having played over 100 shows, including opening slots for Maruja, Deerhoof, Cumgirl8 and Partner. Released this past February, their latest album, Vermin, finds the trio further spreading their wings, flaunting eight catchy tunes that demand your attention.
NIFE FITE
Loud, bad, and bleeding, NIFE FITE is a new, yet recognizable art-punk trio consisting of Matthew Springer (Radioactive Vampire Teeth, Dial Up), E. Collins (Thee Canadian Dispatch) and Kaiden Jackman (The Furnace). Satirizing violence in the media, the group plows through bite sized tunes about knives, stabbings, and childhood games with reckless abandon.
