SUMMARY:Knitting\, Pith\, Girl with Dream\, Nick Bendsza
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 8\, performances start at 9. \n\n\n\nKnitting – What started out as a pandemic hibernation project is now the fully fledged Montreal indie-rock-unit knitting. With “sinuous\, bouncy guitars…and choruses that have the potential to metamorphose into earworms” (FME)\, knitting makes guitar driven and lyrically introspective indie rock evoking the nostalgia of 90s alternative rock bands like Pavement\, Pixies and Sonic Youth. Nestled among entwined guitars\, rousing basslines\, and explosive drums\, Dempsey’s subtle vocals recount bizarre crushes\, bad habits\, and summertime melancholy. knitting’s songs are earnest and raw\, giving reflexive queer/trans representation that diversifies the scope of narratives historically given space in indie rock music. \n\n\n\nPith – A freak folk fixture of the Ottawa-Montreal-Toronto corridor for over 10 years. With a 4th LP on the way Pith has honed their sound into psych-tinged queer cosmic country\, anchored by the effects-drenched nylon string of histrionic front-they Chrissy and backed by scene veterans Sarah Bartlett (Lake Urmia\, From Them) and Cole Emberley (Deathsticks). A little medieval\, slightly punk\, largely cathartic\, occasionally silly \n\n\n\nGirl with dream – Songs to make or break your heartNick Bendsza – Dark\, sensitive\, direct\, spiritual and tender; Bendzsa blends trap\, acoustic folk\, ambient\, and indie to texture and paint an exaggerated world of genuine experience and fantasy. Raised in Newfoundland\, the producer\, songwriter and audio engineer currently lives in Montreal. Bendzsa’s emotionally blunt yet subtly humorous lyrics are delivered by his distinctive voice; sometimes tortured\, sometimes sweet\, always deep\, strong and expressive.
