One of this show's favourite weeks of the year is whenever North By North East (NXNE) festival is taking place. Over the space of a week, emerging music and artists take over the city of Toronto, with venues putting on showcases of some of the most exciting names in the Canadian underground, along with a number of international artists as well. The cooler, more underground cousin of SXSW. And by goodness, is Canadian music having a year.
Tune in to hear our coverage from over 4 days of the festival, bringing you a few highlights and music from some of the artists we managed to see, running between venues. We've also got exclusive interviews with the bands Black Paint, The Satisfactory and Neon Bloom!
Apart from NXNE, we also have an interview with the irreverent Welsh rock trio The Bug Club, who are undertaking a pretty extensive Canadian tour starting this week! If you spot me at the Toronto show on 18th, come say hello, as most bands in small venues say, I don't bite. Note: the podcast version of this show mentions a few more NXNE bands we had to cut for time on the live show, but I'll include link to here. The magic of podcasting. Music this week by:
Angine de Poitrine, Angelique Dancel, Black Paint, Teenage Joans, The Satisfactory, C. Ruth and the Mango Street Trio, Neon Bloom, The Bug Club.
More interviews to come next week, and look out on the Yellow Brit Road socials for Milo and Nolan's photography from NXNE. Podcast cover's a proxy until we get stuff edited.
