FRIDAY MARCH 6!!!! A night to remember!! Tean Dream’s 70s inspired dream pop (w full band) and Marker Starling’s melancholy pop music (since 1999!!) at Mauds!!!! @maudsvariety
Marker Starling - @markerstarling Toronto’s Chris A. Cummings (Marker Starling, formerly Mantler), has been making records and performing his own brand of melancholic art-pop music since 1999, both as a solo artist and with a backing band. Primarily working with a Wurlitzer electric piano and Rhythm Ace drum machine, Cummings’ atmospheric music has won him many fans, both locally and internationally.
Tean Dream - @teandreammusic London, Ontario based 70s inspired dream pop group led by Tina Powell. It’s pop-rock song-writing foundations mixed with lo-fi indie vocal stylings – the sound is somewhere between Carole King and Clairo. With jazz-inspired chording, a persistent groove, and lyrical themes of freedom and connection, the music is as serious as it is whimsical, as quirky as it is classic.The full band features Brent Jackson @waxy_snacks on bass and backup vocals, Thomas Perquin @thomasperquin on drums, and Imogen Wasse @imogenwasse on backup vocals.
FOR REAL!! A rare DJ night for me...I will be spelling off with Los Angeles' own Languid Machinations for a special night of selections at the Little Jerry on Sun Feb 22!
Expect to hear international sounds of the 70s and 80s, some rare tracks from Liquid Machinations, and some 1977-84 era American Soul Music from me.
This is coming one night after our Marker Starling Full Band Appearance opening for Montreal's Rapallo at Dina's Tavern (Sat Feb 21 at 8pm). If you're asking me, I think you should probably be there for both nights!!
HANK COLLECTIVE are making a rare Toronto appearance on Fri Dec 12!
This is a band I have been playing with since 2007, who have been cranking out the hits since even earlier, and are a part of the Blocks Recording Club legacy of Toronto acts! Don't miss this legendary appearance!
With support from Steve Tidy & The Unkempt and Jo Snyder!
There will also be a HANK Kitchener show on Sat Dec 13 at The Union (second image)!
