Spencer Krug
After fifteen years of writing and performing with projects like Wolf Parade,
Sunset Rubdown, Moonface, Swan Lake, and Frog eyes, this prolific artist has
decided to release and tour the music he makes under his own name - Spencer
Krug. First gaining attention in the mid 2000s as co-leader of Montreal's rock’n’roll
Wolf Parade, then soon after as the voice and mind behind the chaotic Sunset
Rubdown, Krug eventually used the now defunct Moonface as an outlet for his
more experimental and sporadic solo material. And while he still plays with both
Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown, there remains in him a need to express
something less rock-oriented, something more quiet and introverted. So,
returning to his first and favorite instrument, the piano, Krug has ventured back
into his own fantastic world of pseudo-classical balladeering; poetic lyricism laced
with twisted pop sensibility and jazz mimicry. Using this template, he now releases
solo work on his own label, Pronounced Kroog, and tours a variety of new and old
material as Spencer Krug.

Elbow Kiss
Elbow Kiss is a testament to love for the parts maybe not loved enough, at least that’s what it feels like on the ears. A hug you didn’t know you needed, or a kiss on the elbow right where it belongs. The project first launched onto the Victoria scene at Good Party 2023 and has quickly gathered a loyal following from anyone tuned to the pulse of honest, wonderful music.
Through both video and release, it’s clear that Elbow Kiss has spent the last decade quietly perfecting the craft. Writing, refining, and now collaborating across Victoria’s arts community in a way that uplifts everyone in the room. This is a creative storm blowing through our city at a time when honesty, vulnerability, and raw power feel more important than ever.
On stage, Elbow Kiss is radiant. Off stage, Em can be found supporting and collaborating with artists of every genre across the city. There’s a rare kind of joy that runs through their work, a joy that asks the listener to slow down, to feel more. Drawing inspiration from the sea to the stars, their songs drift between love and longing, gently plucking guitar, harp, and heartstrings. The result: a sound that carries you to your favourite seaside field or sacred forest path, softly dredging up deep roots of yearning, nostalgia, and heartbreak. This imagery is media realized in their stunning music video for Curtain Calls
