TRANSCANADARADIO is proud to celebrate Canada’s Current Cultural artists and their locations! Traveling across Canada’s vast surface and finding the best of the under and above-ground artists, and where to check them out in your favorite Canadian city! Pack your bags! We’re going on a road trip!
As we wrap up our NXNE coverage, we wanted to give you one last chance to grasp a taste of what it was like to be in Toronto for one sweaty week of music. Check out the best images we took of NXNE (ignore the poor composition and low resolution; we’re very DIY).
The Small Sins played on Thursday night following The Wet Secrets. These guys had a really intriguing electro sound. Often times during the set I found them to be similar to late 80’s Radiohead or mid 90’s Pulp though, as we all know, I’m hesitant to compare — but I’ll qualify it by saying that I totally love both Radiohead and Pulp so needless to say, these guys are great in my books.
My favourite song from their set was “On The Line” which has very catchy lyrics and a pretty driving percussion bit.
Like many bands Doug and I saw this weekend, Small Sins had a very enthusiastic tambourine player — which was super fascinating to watch! He was really into the songs which is always great to see!
But don’t take my word for it, listen for yourself!
