UP HERE 4: Chandra / Bleu Nuit / TV Freaks

A night of weirdo punk with New York’s no-wave legend Chandra and the post-punk of Montréal’s Bleu Nuit. Presented by Stack Brewing.

CHANDRA
A child of the NYC underground art scene, Chandra Oppenheim showed musical promise at 7, and recorded music from 1980’s cult no-wave Transportation EP that same year when she was just 12. Completely in step with the Dadaist/minimalist impulses of the New York no wave scene of the day, this album launched the post-punk pre-teen’s career which continues today. Transportation was reissued in 2014 and Chandra now revisits the music she wrote as a child, reworking it for her growing audience, with the help of a who’s who of Toronto musicians. Commanding vocals lead bouncy bass lines, resonant organs, and deep echoes that all lead the listener to new territories.

BLEU NUIT
Bleu Nuit crafts french post-punk that blends spectral sounds with tension-packed lyrics for a truly haunting experience. Strong, fuzzy melodies back chant-like vocals that hearken back to the ‘80s.

TV FREAKS
TV Freaks are a four-piece from the post-industrial rust bed of Hamilton, ON. What began rather modestly as a group writing spastic, guitar-heavy, garage-punk songs has evolved into something with a significantly more wide-ranging sonic palette, disregarding any notion of genre purism. Traces of the Seeds, Velvets, Rick White, and Nick Cave can be heard, all while sounding like a coherent band, that is still inevitably punk (even if it’s a label they scoff at).
