UP HERE 4: Chandra / Bleu Nuit / TV Freaks

Townehouse Tavern 206 Elgin Street, Sudbury, Canada

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).

UP HERE 4: Charlotte Day Wilson / Geoffroy / NYSSA

The Grand 23 Elgin Street, Sudbury

We'll close off this year's festival on Sunday night with Charlotte Day Wilson in the intimacy of Sudbury's century-old Grand Theatre. CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON Charlotte Day Wilson is a 25-year-old vocalist, producer and multi-instrumentalist from Toronto with roots in R&B, folk, and soul. Her singular voice and timeless sound has garnered global attention since her first EP in 2016. She's since released Stone Woman and has been streamed more than 25 million times. Her project is defined by clarity, vulnerability and strength. It is a clear statement of intent, a stirring demonstration of Charlotte’s power and poise and her certain emergence as an essential voice in 2018 and beyond. GEOFFROY Montreal-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Geoffroy has been gaining traction with his downtempo, electronica/trip-hop inspired sound. It's chill, it's smooth, it's groovy af. Geoffroy was named Apple Music’s Favourite New Artist and his collaboration with Men I Trust and Thirsty, reached the top spot on HypeMachine. Following the path of artists such as Chet Faker, SOHN or Sylvan Esso, this is one to watch and you'll get to say "I saw him here first." NYSSA Nyssa seems to inhabit some kind of enchanted forest-cum-trash palace where power-pop, punk, soul, glam, disco, and country all get doled out in equal, glitter-soaked measure. Nyssa is a singer, songwriter, producer, and performer for our age.
