Manitoba Live Music Event

About

Our debut LP 'Forgiver' was recorded at Montreal's Breakglass Studio and Winnipeg's Private Ear with Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes, Patrick Watson, Wolf Parade). We invite you to celebrate the release of this album with us at these two hometown shows before we head to play in Europe for a month!

The first of the two release shows will be hosted by our friends at The Park Theatre. We are proud to be playing alongside one of our favourite artists in this country, Andrew Judah (Kelowna) as well as local songsmith The Shoal Lake Kid.

Tickets are $15 in advance, and $20 at the door. Available at Music Trader, ticketfly, and the venue.

Yes We Mystic:

Delivering at times like a dive into a dark, warm ocean, and at others like a blast of icy water on bare skin, Yes We Mystic is a dynamic and emotional musical powerhouse originating out of Winnipeg, Canada. Approaching genre as a tool rather than a barrier, the band takes instruments, ideas, and sounds from wherever they can to craft something that is all at once exhilarating, heartrending, pummelling, and grand. Hurling rock together with folk, hip-hop, and R&B, strings and mandolins together with synthesizers, pedals, samples, and vocal effects, they come up with songs that can mellow and groove but climb in an instant to towering, frenzied heights. Throwing opposites together has been a practice that they keep coming back to. The result is both unconventional and weirdly relatable. 

Praised as “the purest orchestral pop”, and charged with a “fearless creative energy”, Yes We Mystic has in recent years become a steadily growing force on the Canadian indie scene. In 2016, with their debut record Forgiver set for release in Canada and Germany, they will for the first time bring their commanding live show to the other side of the Atlantic, playing in Germany, France and the UK.

Andrew Judah:

Andrew Judah is a songwriter/composer from British Columbia whose songs are as complex as they are powerful. Judah, the namesake of the band, commands attention with his delicate, jittery vocals, atop unorthodox grooves layed down by drummer Zac Gauthier and bassist Jonathan Tromsness. In 2014, Judah released the dark, sprawling and progressive 'Monster' as a solo artist. In late 2015 the newly formed band received 1st place in the Music BC emerging artist program and released their first single together, "Running Home". 

Judah released his first full-length album The Preacher’s Basement in 2011, which he quickly followed up with his most innovative work, the short and heavy-hitting Albino Black Bear EP. In 2012 Judah reworked a song for Son Lux’s We Are Rising REMIXED album, and took on an artist residency for Butter Music in NYC. In 2013 his tracks appeared in over 15 television ad campaigns, including the holy grail of advertising: a Super Bowl spot.

Andrew is also a composer for film and television. He has written music for Lincoln, Google, Adidas, Toyota and many others. He is currently recording a new album, and scoring several films.


THE SHOAL LAKE KID:

The Shoal Lake Kid is Amos Nadlersmith, a singer-songwriter from Winnipeg MB. His music is inspired by time spent on a small island in Northern Ontario.
