POSTDATA is the solo project of songwriter, vocalist and producer Paul Murphy, who is also known for his work in the Canadian band Wintersleep. Written and recorded in his small hometown of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, the first record was a gift to his mother that he made with his brother Michael - an intimate offering largely centered around acoustic guitar, and his trademark gravelly tenor, with a light mixture of electronic and acoustic instrumentation & ambience stitching it all together. From there the project has evolved into a more fleshed out and dynamic production that has featured an all-star cast of performers and friends Simone Pace (Blonde Redhead), Andy Monaghan (Frightened Rabbit), Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian), Ali Chant (Perfume Genius, Soccer Mommy) as well as his friends in Wintersleep.
Murphy’s latest releases “Twin Flames” and “Run Wild” have garnered world-wide acclaim and has been described by MOJO as “Proof that inventive, envelope-pushing indie rock hasn’t disappeared off the map just yet”
He has toured extensively in the US, Europe, Canada and the UK, and is known for his powerful live performances. Paul Murphy is currently working on new music to be released in 2026.
Drawing from many different musical influences, Scott Nicks is a “melody-first” singer-songwriter. Originally from Truro, NS, Scott has released three full-length records and multiple EPs since 2006. His music has gone through many permutations, from quietly introspective folk, to heavily distorted indie rock dripping with sludge, to bright piano pop epics lush with symphonic instrumentation. Scott Nicks is backed by seasoned musicians in drummer Jordan Murphy ( Walrus ), bassist Andrew Mawko ( Verry Gerry ) and guitarist Justin McGrath ( Shadow Folk ). Having a significant amount of unreleased music and taken a nearly decade-long hiatus from playing his own music, Scott and his band are back to play a mix of older songs and newer unreleased material that will leave you wanting more.
"Scott Nicks, if he wanted to, probably could have categorized his latest album—almost five years since his last—as dream pop. If he decided to go in that direction, he would be one of the few artists on the planet whose music actually fits that description." - Michael Thomas, Gray Owl Point , on Scott Nicks’ 2015 release, “String of Dreams” .
Electric Company can be described as sunshine rock with influences from Mac Demarco to George Harrison. we are super stoked to be part of the subvert line of shows which has feature many of our friends and beloved bands. electric company is comprised of 3 members at this time, Keith "Verry Gerry " Doiron on the drums, Andrew "mac de"mawko on the bass and myself Dillon Pidgeon as guitarist, Vocalist and pianist.
