Formed in Kingston, Ontario by Evan Khodeir (lead guitar), Sam Skolrood (vocals), Cory Scholtz (rhythm guitar), Kelby Gutz (bass), and Misko McGregor (drums), Kiss the Fish’s energetic and exciting show has quickly become one you can’t miss. Their smooth beats, heavy basslines, and nasty guitar solos are accentuated by a mellow rhythm guitar and the flare of a trumpet, bringing their sound to the forefront of indie rock. KTF’s diverse sound features modern manifestations of old-school blues, classic rock and roll progression, and alternative rock. Their subject matter is no derailment from their sonic diversity; from acid trips, to making a quick dollar, Kiss the Fish’s setlist will leave you head-banging and reminiscent of a rebellious past, all the while leaving you excited for the future of rock.

| And I Wonder Alex Nicol - All for Nada
|
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5S4nw6s9kM
Alex Nicol is a singer-songwriter based in Montreal, QC. Over the past five years, Alex has played with several different groups, most notably as the singer of Hoan, a group that achieved critical success with the release of their debut EP “Modern Phase”, out on Fantome Records. Now, Alex is venturing out on his own. In "All For Nada", Alex collaborated with his long-time partner Nada Temerinski, who helped produce the record and worked on everything from song titles to arrangements, mixing decisions to art direction. Acting as a creative unit, Alex and Nada seek to trivialize notions of the female muse so often credited as the source of male creativity, probing instead into the incandescent spaces where true collaborations - whether creative or romantic - live. Narratives are summoned and recounted over a sonic terrain that is haunting and surreal; warm but full of vigor. The eight songs on the album are a testament to the creative and emotional labor partners often put in to their loved ones’ work, and a statement of intent from two creative individuals intent on trivializing the status quo. Playing Friday! Claude Munson • Alex Nicol • Jonathan Pearce Friday, March 6, 2020 at 8 PM Cinqhole - 5b Fairmont Ave. https://www.facebook.com/events/846101505803117/ |
