Warehouse Concert Hall presentsYUKON BLONDE | Vancouver, BC
"Yukon Blonde are indeed scene survivors, and the secret to their successful marriage is right at the core of their seventh studio LP. In fact, it’s right in the title: Friendship & Rock n' Roll. It’s a befitting thesis statement for a band that has spanned decades as indie-rock darlings, charted singles on rock radio, and built a dedicated audience as mainstays of the club touring circuit. If friendship comes naturally to Jeffrey Innes, Brandon Scott, Graham Jones & James Younger, so too does rock n’ roll. Yukon Blonde has always sounded classic, but they live in the present day. You won’t see them placating the myth of rock n’ roll. Never have they slipped into a “throwback” caricature of some supposed glory day. No posturing, or pretending - it’s guitar music that doesn’t wink at the camera.
On Friendship & Rock n’ Roll, the riffs are bold and the vibes are bright. Even when the lyrical tone is defeated or heart-broken, we get the sense that everything is going to be alright. There’s whimsy in the subtext of Keep On Breaking My Heart, where Innes welcomes the punishment from his distant lover. The mid-tempo burner harkens to Tom Petty’s golden era in tone and playfulness - a cheeky grin behind the melancholy."

PERMILLA | Niagara Falls, ON
"In the sunsetting months of 2023, Nicole Cerminara, her brother Joseph “Junior” Cerminara, and their adopted brother Myles Rogers, (FKA JIN THE BAND), fatefully met in a greasy Toronto diner with legendary producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, KISS, Phish). Even if they weren’t aware of it yet, the group that had entered that diner, already a powerhouse in the Niagara/Toronto gigging music scene, left as a band with a new found life: Permilla."
