Luella + Royal CastlesFRI JUNE 7, 2024 • 7PM DOOR, 8PM SHOW
General Admission Standing | 19+ | $20 (+SC/HST) ADV.
Luella, the musical project of 20-year-old artist Liv Whitfield from Kingston/Montreal, is known for her soulful dream-pop sound featuring catchy baselines, crisp vocals, and honest lyrics. Her debut album, Luna, released in 2022 and produced in collaboration with her father, Zane Whitfield of North of Princess Recording Studio (Glorious Sons, Kathleen Edwards, Blue Stones), garnered over 100,000 streams on Spotify and 30k video streams within a year. She's shared stages with fanclubwallet, Dizzy, and Claudia Bouvette, playing sold-out shows. Now, Luella gears up for her sophomore album, Summer Bummer, set to release in Spring 2024. Reflecting her transition into adulthood, the album promises a bolder, more confident sound while maintaining her trademark vulnerability. She’s lined up performances at Elora Riverfest, Wolfe Island Music Festival, and Spring Reverb, with shows booked across Ontario and Quebec through June. Returning to Hamilton, where she previously performed at Supercrawl, she's excited to join with her pals, Royal Castles, at Mills Hardware on June 7.
Energetic, hard hitting and hooks for days, Royal Castles are making nostalgic but contemporary garage-rock. Hailing from the Royal City of Guelph, Ontario and featuring the power trio of Katrin Sawatzky, Jordan Gabriel and AJ Johnson (JUNO-nominated Cuff the Duke), the three-piece take influence from the bands of their formative years, delivering pounding drums, crunchy guitars and a healthy dose of wooly bass. The trio recently released their much-anticipated sophomore album, Just The Hits, recorded at North of Princess Studio with producer, Zane Whitfield (The Glorious Sons, Bluestones). The full-length album is filled with ear candy: killer drum fills, psychedelic-bubblegum harmonies and crunchy guitar tones that will be sure to make this album feel like sunshine year-round.
