Entire Cities


Entire Cities jouent ce qu'ils appellent du punk psychédélique. A forte tendance country alternative, les sept énergumènes de Toronto expérimentent la musique, dérangeant Limbeck et Brakes dans leur folie, conviant l'originalité de Little Barrie à la noirceur de Blanche, mêlant assidûment/acidement tous les groupes d'indie pop mignonne à base d'instrumentations délicieuses, aussi bien canadiens (The New Pornographers, Apostle Of Hustle, The Unicorns, Immaculate Machine) qu'américains (Bishop Allen, The Terrordactyls, Coconut Records, The Deadly Syndrome).
Ils se nomment Simon Borer (guitare, chant), Tamara Lindeman (banjo, chant), Brendan Howlett (basse, trompette), Dwight Schenk (guitare), Ruhee Dewji (flûte, chant), Paul McCrady (clavier, chant) et Paul Weadick (batterie, chant) + Josh Lyon (clavier, accordéon, chant), Stefanie Bruce (harpe) et David Missio (guitare). Voici leur biographie :


"From gratuitously confusing time signatures to delightfully simple hooks, from meticulous choral and instrumental arrangements to their glorious train wreck of a live show, ENTIRE CITIES seem to have a personality disorder. The loosely defined orchestral rockabilly sound is the construct of no less than ten musicians, artists, writers and actors hell-bent on throwing the best party of the night each and every time they play. Discordant, melodic, barn-burning and mournful; ENTIRE CITIES' eclectic line up and musical influences make them feel like a band that is perfectly and precisely stumbling towards something big.

ENTIRE CITIES have fast become a mainstay on the Toronto club scene. From their initial, stripped down introduction at the Bedsprings Talent Show in April of 2006 to the current whirling dervish returning from touring the east coast, ENTIRE CITIES are undisputedly a live band, and one on a mission."
