Will McGuirk June 11, 2023

By Will McGuirk

Temples at Lee’s Palace Tuesday June 13 2023. Tickets here.

British psych-rockers released their new album Exotico on April 14th (via ATO Records). It was produced by Sean Ono Lennon and mixed by GRAMMY® Award-winner Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, MGMT). 

A stunning effort all-around, it is a pleasure to have Temples back, the prospect of where they can go from here is one of excitement and thrill." - CLASH (8/10)

Upcoming Toronto concerts: Altin Gün, Billy Nomates, Big Joanie, shame, and the Murder Capital

Will McGuirk January 12, 2023

By Will McGuirk

Some rad shows coming up in Toronto just announced by Collective Concerts. Dutch/Turkish psych rockers Altin Gün play the Danforth Music Hall Aug 2 2023. Its a ways away but tickets are on sale Jan 13. I’ve been a fan for sometime, headed to River & Sky to see them sometime back but unfortunately had too much fun-juice and slept through it hahahah. So yes to being awake in August!! They have a new album, Ask, due March 10.

I’ve also been a fan of Billy Nomates, recommended as they say if you like Dry Cleaning, the Wet Leg, Yard Act, Bob Vylan, Fontaines DC, that speakeasy post punk sound the Idles kinda kicked off. Billy Nomates plays the Garrison Friday May 19. Guaranteed her next TO show will be a much bigger room.

Also in the nouveau-post punk scene are the Murder Capital. The Irish kats will be in at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern Saturday April 1. Ok fine, no joke lol! Their new album Gigi’s Recovery is out Jan 20.

Also at the Garrison is Big Joanie on Tuesday May 30. New to me, introduced to the tunes by a pal; I’m sure it was the Pixies/Cure/Breeders vibes . So yes to Big Joanie.

Yes also to Shame, bit of a pattern I know, more clangy Brit post-punk, although I think its more post-shoegaze like its post-punk if Television are punk, like post-that, but ya know either way tis good stuff. This band has been airing around my home for some time so time to check them out myself I think.
