LEISURE is a New Zealand collective known for their genre-blending evolution and laid-back ethos. Formed in 2015 during a spontaneous beach getaway, the six members—producers and songwriters from acts like Kids of 88 and Goodnight Nurse—set out to make music on their own terms. The result is a signature sound fusing indie and psychedelic pop with sensual R&B/soul grooves and funk.
From their self-titled 2016 debut to 2023’s Leisurevision, LEISURE’s catalog showcases a freeform exploration into pop psychedelia, smooth R&B, and modern soul. Early hits like “Got It Bad” introduced shimmering, laid-back funk vibes, while their sophomore album Twister injected danceable energy and a slick blend of R&B, disco, and psych rock. In 2020, the band embarked on an EP series (Side A and Side B), writing in a French countryside retreat to refresh their inspiration. These tracks—steeped in ‘70s funk, ‘90s boom-bap, and soulful harmonies—were later compiled into the album Sunsetter.
Throughout their journey, LEISURE has remained focused on vibe and feel over formulas: lush melodies, groovy basslines, and dreamy vocals create an unusual melting pot of funk, hip-hop, R&B, and lush pop. Critics praise the group’s fundamental elements of groove, melody, and atmosphere, hailing LEISURE as a psychedelic pop outfit making waves globally.
Four albums in, LEISURE continues to evolve—blending genres into a warm, escapist sound that invites you to kick back and enjoy the ride at your leisure. Their unhurried approach and eclectic style have become the band’s calling card, proving that taking the scenic route can yield golden results.

Balu Brigada is a charismatic alt-pop duo of New Zealand brothers Henry and Pierre Beasley, known for their genre-blending musical evolution and signature style that fuses indie-pop hooks, synth-driven production, and hip-hop-influenced grooves. The pair cut their teeth jamming in their family home, steadily honing songwriting and production chops since their teens. Early releases, including their 2019, Almost Feel Good, mixtape, showcased a carefree mix of funk-tinged pop and laid-back beats. With each project, Balu Brigada have refined their sound, moving from breezy bedroom-pop beginnings to a polished, groove-pop identity. Their 2022 EP, I Should Be Home, and 2023 EP, Find a Way, expanded the duo’s sonic palette – think shimmering synth lines, R&B textures, and playful rap-style rhythms – while retaining their “ultimate chiller” vibe inspired by Baloo from The Jungle Book. Today, Balu Brigada’s music radiates “effortless, laidback cool,” equally fit for coastal road trips or flirty dance floors. Citing genre-mashing heroes like Gorillaz, OutKast, and Frank Ocean, they aren’t afraid to blend funky basslines, rap-style beats, and pop melodies into their own unique brew. This “groove-pop” ethos, a term coined by Henry, defines Balu Brigada’s evolution: always experimental yet irresistibly catchy. Now based in New York, the brothers continue to push boundaries, self-producing an upcoming debut album that promises to distill their journey into a fresh, genre-defying sound.

Corbin (FKA Spooky Black) makes captivating, honest, and raw music that harkens back to the days when the singer-songwriter’s artistic vision prioritized vulnerability over image. For over a decade, the SoundCloud legend has made moody and intimate R&B that has helped listeners through some of their most difficult times. The 26-year-old St. Paul, Minnesota native came to prominence during the rise of the SoundCloud gold rush, influencing a new generation of songwriters. Songs such as the haunting portrait of addiction “Diazepam”, and his battle with insecurity and instability in relationships “ICE BOY”, highlighted his ability to connect with the plight of modern youth. But it was the internet-breaking, classic ballad of yearning “Without You” that inspired a generation of disaffected and abandoned adolescents, serving as a soundtrack to make the alienated feel a little less alone. The song was named one of the best of 2014 by Complex and Consequence Of Sound. His work, notably 2017’s, Mourn, has been lauded by Pitchfork, Dazed, NPR, and TheNeedleDrop and was named one of the best albums of the year by Dazed. He’s attracted some of the biggest names in music, featuring on songs with Chief Keef, Trippie Redd, Skrillex, and The Kid Laroi, among others. With his latest single, Carbon Monoxide, Corbin presents a down-tempo, piercing work, displaying his familiar aughts of genre-juggling with a degree of vulnerability that’s both earnest and downtrodden. His draught, monochrome lyricism cuts through –– with Corbin posterizing his agony and self-criticism with lyrics like –– “You can see all the walls I put up caving in / slowly creep in my lungs your my carcinogen.” Contrasted with glowing guitar riffs and tight drums, an air of poignant melancholy and steward vulnerability –– he pieces together a single that will leave listeners wondering what influences and experiences shaped this, and what will follow for the artist known for his unpredictability and distance. The 9-date US headlining Clown on Stage tour kicks off this Spring, giving his fans a long-awaited opportunity to witness the elusive singer and to experience his self-assured reformation.

Globally acclaimed Australian band The Temper Trap make their long-awaited return in 2025 with their first new music in nine years. Since the release of their seminal debut album Conditions in 2009, The Temper Trap’s sound has transcended generations, its cinematic, emotionally-charged songwriting leaving a lasting imprint on popular culture across three album releases (including two Australian #1’s). Recent years have seen a resurgence of love for the band. In 2021, fan favourite ‘Love Lost’ was flung back into the spotlight, when it appeared on Mac Miller’s posthumously re-released Faces mixtape (400 million streams), connecting with an entirely new audience.

Durand Jones & The Indications are equally beloved for their energetic, joyous shows, dual lead singers, and thoughtful songwriting. From an Indiana basement (where the band recorded their 2016 self-titled debut LP as college students), the band has catapulted into the soul limelight and onto an international stage. Pushing beyond the boundaries of the funk and soul on their previous releases, The Indications’ third album, Private Space, unlocks the door to a wider range of sounds and launches boldly into a world of synthy modern soul and disco beats dotted with strings. Anchored by a crate-digging sensibility and the high-low harmonies of Aaron Frazer and Durand Jones, Private Space shows The Indications’ mastery at melding revival sounds with a modern attitude. It’s an organic, timeless record that’s as fresh as clean kicks and familiar as your favourite well-worn LP.

Not Dead Yet Presents
bar italia emerged from London’s underground in 2019 with an enigmatic, DIY spirit that quickly earned cult status among indie die-hards. The trio – Nina Cristante, Sam Fenton, and Jezmi Tarik Fehmi – craft lo-fi, post-punk and shoegaze-infused songs that feel like midnight whispers in a city café. Early releases on Dean Blunt’s World Music label, including debut LP Quarrel and follow-up Bedhead, shrouded the band in mystery while showcasing their knack for dissonant yet hooky melodies and raw, bedroom-recorded intimacy. By the time Tracey Denim dropped in 2023, bar italia had sharpened their sound without losing their edge – layers of sleety guitars, dual vocals, and woozy atmospherics coalesced into something both haunting and catchy. “We just wanted to write catchy, good songs, not endless experiments,” they’ve hinted, a manifesto reflected in every aching chord and off-kilter pop hook. Influenced by the moody romanticism of The Cure, the haze of Slowdive, and Sonic Youth’s artful noise, bar italia channel familiar nostalgia through a fractured, contemporary lens. Their aesthetic – lowercase, low-profile, and laden with moody collage imagery – mirrors the music’s gritty elegance. From the jangling gloom of underground EPs like Angelica Pilled to the recent one-two punch of Tracey Denim and The Twits, bar italia’s evolution is a testament to staying true to one’s DIY roots while quietly redefining the sound of modern alternative rock.

Beach Fossils is a Brooklyn-based indie band that helped spearhead the lo-fi dream pop movement of the 2010s. From the beginning, they have been known for their hazy, lo-fi, atmospheric sound with confessional, nostalgic lyrics and a laid-back vocal delivery. Early Beach Fossils recordings, largely crafted by frontman Dustin Payseur as a home project, embodied a raw, jangly dream-pop ethos—think reverb-drenched guitars and minimalist percussion creating an aura of wistful summer afternoons.
Over time, the band’s music has grown in scope and sophistication. Beach Fossils evolved from the energetic jangle pop of their early releases to a more layered and textured sound rooted in baroque pop and indie rock. Lush arrangements, including the incorporation of strings and woodwinds, began to enrich their songs, lending a fuller, more eclectic sonic depth compared to the straightforward four-piece feel of earlier records. Throughout their albums, the group retained their dreamy, mellow core while refining their melodic sensibilities and songwriting craft. Later tracks showcase nuanced instrumentation and polished melodies, blending gentle guitar hooks with ornate touches and subtle studio experimentation.
Today, Beach Fossils’ signature style is both sophisticated and melodic, yet still undeniably dreamy. They strike a balance between nostalgia and growth—bridging their lo-fi dream-pop roots with a matured, graceful indie sound that remains atmospheric and emotionally resonant. The result is a catalog that charts an artistic progression: intimate bedroom pop beginnings blossoming into vibrant, contemplative songs that float with breezy harmonies and earnest, evolved songwriting.

Macy Gray stands as one of R&B and neo-soul’s most singular voices—her raspy delivery and raw emotional textures echoing Billie Holiday while forging an unmistakable, modern identity. From the moment she broke through with On How Life Is in 1999—featuring the worldwide smash “I Try”—she proved that vulnerability wrapped in grit could become a universal language.
She followed with The Id (2001), melding quirky introspection with collaborations that ranged from Erykah Badu to John Frusciante, expanding her palette beyond neo-soul into playful, genre-blending territory. The Trouble with Being Myself (2003) embraced a more personal introspective vibe, while Big (2007) marked a spirited comeback—infused with high-profile collaborators and Stylistic swagger.
In the 2010s, she leaned into bold concepts: The Sellout (2010) sparkled with irreverent commentary; Covered (2012) reimagined contemporary hits in her husky timbre; followed swiftly by Talking Book, a soulful homage to Stevie Wonder’s classic. With The Way (2014), she embraced experimental grooves, then surprised fans with Stripped (2016), her first overtly jazz-leaning album—raw, live-in-studio, beautifully intimate. Her most recent, Ruby (2018), balances polished finesse with emotional authenticity.
Throughout her evolution, Macy Gray remains deeply rooted in individuality—her voice, her stories, and her fearless reinventions define an artist whose signature style continues to surprise and resonate.

Wednesday are known for their fuzzy shoegaze guitars and country-tinged storytelling, creating a sound that straddles indie rock and alternative country. Formed in Asheville, NC, the band started as Karly Hartzman’s solo project but soon grew into a full-fledged group. Wednesday’s music marries feedback-drenched noise with lap-steel twang, often dubbed “country-gaze,” yielding “the great fuzzy guitars of shoegaze with a faint Southern twang” in their songs. This distinctive blend provides the backdrop for Hartzman’s evocative lyrics about small-town life and personal memories, delivered with equal parts grit and heart. Over time, Wednesday’s musical evolution has amplified their signature style. Hartzman’s early lo-fi recordings gave way to 2020’s, I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone, where lush shoegaze textures met confessional alt-country lyricism. With MJ Lenderman joining on guitar, 2021’s, Twin Plagues, introduced a fuller, more explosive band dynamic. By 2023’s, Rat Saw God, their first release on Dead Oceans, Wednesday had honed an even bigger, emotionally powerful sound without losing their raw edge. Throughout, the band’s influences range from noisy 90s rock to classic country storytellers, resulting in a potent mix that’s both melancholic and raucous. Wednesday stand out for forging a bold, “melting pot” style that is uniquely theirs.
Wednesday’s genre-bending approach – equal parts shoegaze haze and alt-country twang – has earned them critical acclaim as one of today’s most exciting indie rock bands. Their catalog shows a band continually pushing their sonic boundaries while staying true to the rough-hewn honesty at their core. Wednesday invite listeners into a world where distortion and Southern Gothic imagery collide, producing an electrifying, “bootgaze” sound that is instantly recognizable as their own.

Nine Vicious (Treyvion Echols) emerged from the Athens, GA underground with a fearless fusion of trap and rage energy. Bursting onto the scene via SoundCloud in 2024 with tracks like “I Love You” and “I’ll Neva,” he quickly gained momentum. His debut EP, B4SA, and mixtape, Studio Addict, introduced a chameleonic flow and drew comparisons to early Young Thug and Ken Carson. Major outlets noticed; he’s been featured in Rap-Up and Pitchfork, validating the buzz around his distinctive style.
By 2025, Nine’s evolution hit overdrive. A high-profile co-sign from Young Thug led to a deal with YSL Records, and he dropped two ambitious albums that year. Tumblr Music, his label debut, flaunted “raw, unapologetic, rockstar sound” with gritty Southern beats and experimental twists. Just months later, follow-up, For Nothing, continued his meteoric rise, blending melodic hooks with dark, barbed-wire energy. Both records showcase Nine’s ferocious delivery and genre-blurring production, from cloud rap ambiance to bass-heavy rage anthems.
What truly defines Nine Vicious is his magnetic presence and unfiltered creativity. Critics note his “unhinged ability” to captivate listeners, while fans connect to his rebellious charisma and heartfelt honesty. Whether paying homage to hip-hop legends in cover art or dropping viral singles like the Pitchfork-praised “U Fancy?”, Nine Vicious constantly pushes boundaries. He stands as a bold new voice turning Atlanta’s rap template on its head, forging his own lane with a signature blend of innovation and attitude.

Formed in 1994, Russian rock band Splean (Сплин) emerged from St. Petersburg’s alternative scene with raw, guitar-driven energy. Early on, their music bore hallmarks of alternative rock and post-grunge angst, but Splean never stood still. Lead singer Alexander Vasilyev – a literary soul whose very band name nods to poetic melancholia – guided the group through constant reinvention. Over the years, they experimented boldly with genre and style, so much so that newer albums “sound almost nothing like the first ones.” Splean’s signature today is a blend of introspective rock and artful lyricism: brooding folk-rock balladry, dreamy indie sounds, and even electronic or orchestral flourishes coalesce under Vasilyev’s voice. His lyrics, rife with rich metaphors and existential themes, have earned Splean a reputation as “Russia’s poetic rockers,” pairing the mundane and the profound in equal measure. The band’s evolution from the edgy angst of 90s albums to the experimental, philosophical tone of recent releases showcases a relentless creative “searching, searching, searching” in Vasilyev’s words. Splean today delivers melodic, genre-blending compositions that retain rock’s bite but prioritize poetic depth and atmospheric experimentation. Fans cherish their ever-evolving sound – one that marries rock riffs with soulful introspection – proving Splean’s music only grows more lyrically poignant and sonically adventurous with time.

Born Ruffians – Luke Lalonde, Mitch Derosier, and Steve Hamelin - rose to prominence in the aughts indie blog era, the same Toronto scene that produced Canadian indie icons like Broken Social Scene, Tokyo Police Club, and Metric. Since that time, they’ve become one of Canada’s biggest indie rock exports, releasing 8 albums and 3 EPs on some of the world’s most acclaimed record labels - Warp Records, XL Recordings, Yep Roc Records, Paper Bag Records, and their newly-minted Wavy Haze Records.
The group has toured internationally, supporting renowned artists like Caribou, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip, and The New Pornographers, while also headlining tours throughout North America, UK, Europe, and Australia. Uncle, Duke & The Chief (2018), one of the final projects produced by the late, exceptionally-great producer Richard Swift (The Shins, Nathaniel Rateliff, Foxygen), brought the band into a new era: the album was lauded by NPR Music, Rolling Stone, and American Songwriter as a mature, confident evolution of the band’s hooky left-of-center pop sensibilities. Their follow-up COVID-era trilogy, JUICE (2020), SQUEEZE (2020), and PULP (2021), produced by Graham Walsh (Alvvays, Holy Fuck, METZ), charted on Billboard and US Alternative Radio Charts and garnered widespread acclaim from press outlets in North America and Europe.
In 2025 they return with, Beauty’s Pride, with new band member Maddy Wilde in tow. Here, the band set out to create a record that sounds like it was made in 2025: it’s a maximalist indie rock album that embraces hi-fi production techniques. It presents Born Ruffians as the rare veteran act that can still make you feel like you’re discovering your new favourite band.

Cattle Decapitation have spent over two decades pushing the boundaries of extreme metal. Formed in 1996, this San Diego outfit evolved from a ferocious gore-grind side project into a full-fledged force of nature in modern death metal. Early releases showcased a raw blend of grindcore savagery and gruesome imagery, driven by the band’s fervent ethical stance. As albums rolled out, their sound grew more sophisticated and intense, with each release upping the ante. By the time of 2012’s Monolith of Inhumanity, Travis Ryan’s vocal innovations – ranging from inhuman gutturals to eerily melodic snarls – and the technical prowess of the band had coalesced into a signature style. The group took on a more polished yet no less punishing death metal approach, drawing comparisons to legends like Carcass and Cannibal Corpse while carving out a niche entirely their own. 2015’s The Anthropocene Extinction and 2019’s Death Atlas further cemented Cattle Decapitation’s reputation for combining blistering, intricate riffs with apocalyptic atmosphere. The latter album was a career peak – a bleak, cinematic opus of misanthropic fury. Rather than rest on their laurels, the band reinvented itself yet again on 2023’s Terrasite, infusing new layers of melody and experimental texture without sacrificing intensity. Through it all, they have retained a brutal honesty in their lyrics – tackling humanity’s collapse, environmental ruin, and animal suffering with unflinching imagery – ensuring that Cattle Decapitation’s message hits just as hard as their music.

Abraham and visuals artist Mr. B) have built a reputation for concept albums that “teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future”.
Each album in PSB’s discography explores a distinct theme. Their 2013 debut Inform – Educate – Entertain blended wartime speeches and mountaineering broadcasts with driving rhythms, setting the template for their sample-rich sound. 2015’s The Race for Space celebrated the space race era, layering mission control audio over pulsating krautrock beats. 2017’s Every Valley delved into the rise and fall of Welsh coal mining with poignant interviews and guest vocals. On 2021’s Bright Magic, the band shifted to a more impressionistic approach, capturing the spirit of Berlin with krautrock grooves and sparing use of English vocals. Throughout these releases, PSB’s signature combination of surging guitar rock, textured electronics, and historic samples delivers an emotive, educational journey. From triumphant saxophone hooks (“Go!”) to haunting orchestral collaborations (This New Noise), Public Service Broadcasting continually evolve while remaining true to their core mission: making the past alive and thrilling in the present.

Cate Le Bon stands at the intersection of spectral folk, art-pop intrigue, and restless sonic ambition. Across seven solo albums, she has built a singular voice that seems to drift in half-light, part oracle, part guitarist coaxing colors from chords. On Me Oh My she unfolded a modest palette of folk intimacy; by Cyrk she bent her melodies into psych-pop loops and unexpected detours. Mug Museum pared things down, letting space amplify what lingers, what mourns, what hums underneath. With Crab Day she leaned into ambiguity, weaving off-kilter riffs and lyrical frays that refract meaning. Reward felt like a leap, bringing richer textures and sharper turns, with voice and instruments turning on one another and pulling the listener into a tighter orbit. Then Pompeii arrived as an incandescent excavation of her own interior, where synths glint like mirrors and guitars ripple in shifting light. Her newest record, Michelangelo Dying, channels heartbreak, obsession, and rebirth. It is an album steeped in tension, love as erosion, sorrow as method, in which she produces, arranges, and performs with full reckoning. Through it all, she moves with an unflinching gaze. Her songs linger between the seen and unseen, the personal and the mythic. Her production work for Wilco, Horsegirl, and Devendra Banhart underscores a restless curiosity. To hear Cate Le Bon live is to feel the air charged, guitar strings vibrating like stained glass, voices faltering and returning, the fragile engine of creation humming just beneath.

Dry Cleaning stand at the center of a modern avant-rock movement built on trust, detail, and the peculiar tension of ordinary life. The South London quartet of Florence Shaw, Tom Dowse, Lewis Maynard, and Nick Buxton shape their music through mutual response, beginning with ideas in rehearsal rooms that stretch outward into layered soundscapes. Shaw’s voice remains a quiet force, weaving her found words and postcards into rhythmic speech that sits inside the pulse of each song rather than above it.
Their debut New Long Leg and its follow-up Stumpwork established a framework of angular guitars, heavy basslines, and dry humor. On Secret Love, they deepen that palette, filtering paranoia, no wave, and pastoral tones through the lens of intimacy and reflection. Recorded across studios in London, Chicago, Dublin, and the Loire Valley with producer Cate Le Bon, the album carries both playfulness and gravity. Its tracks move between darkness and clarity, between the political and the personal, searching for connection through shared honesty.
Secret Love feels both inward and expansive, a document of friendship and persistence. Dry Cleaning approach each song as a conversation among equals, exploring trust, humor, and the strange coherence that exists between chaos and calm. Their music captures the unease of modern life while finding beauty in the act of simply listening to one another.

Toronto’s renewed and reimagined premiere event space located centrally in beautiful Yorkville. Our concert hall and supporting spaces, turning 100 years old this year, guarantee your event will be unforgettable and one of a kind. Radiating with character and history, having hosted thousands of musical events across the last century, there’s a story and an experience around every corner.
Complete with a raised stage, ornate proscenium arch, active theatre lighting rig, hardwood dance floor, and awe inspiring acoustics, the hall is second to none in the city.
The Masonic Temple was opened with great ceremony on January 1, 1918. Owned by an independent corporation of Masons, the Temple was intended to house a disparate group of lodges and chapters; at one point, thirty-eight different groups called the temple home.
Unlike the rest of the Temple, the Concert Hall was intended as rental public space to help defray operating costs, with dressing rooms, a stage, and food preparation areas.
It’s been known by many names as music and owners changed: The Concert Hall; The Auditorium; Club 888; The Rockpile, Regency Ballroom. The Concert hall started out mainly being used as a lecture-hall (“G. K. Chesterton: Literature as Luggage”), ballroom (“Canada’s Largest Public Dance Every Wed. – Fri. – Sat.”) and to host community concerts.
That’s not to say there weren’t more fantastic events too - Frank Sinatra used to rent the building for private parties, and the Rolling Stones used the space as a summer rehearsal studio for years.
The Concert Hall started to gain traction as a rock concert venue in the 1960s, attracting performers like Wilson Pickett, Tina Turner, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Johnny Lee Hooker, Canned Heat, and Buddy Guy by 1968.
1969 was a massive year: Led Zeppelin, Muddy Waters, Frank Zappa, Chuck Berry, The Who, B. B. King, the Grateful Dead, Mothers of Invention. And that was just a lead into the 70s: The Animals, Iggy Pop, The Ramones, Toots and the Maytals, Hugh Masekela. The 80s starred Iron Maiden, The Cure, Dead Kennedys, King Crimson and Depeche Mode
But things were starting to look bleak. The Building’s condition had rapidly deteriorated throughout the 70s, and as Masons started moving to the suburbs, the Temple started to fall on hard times. The corporation started looking to sell in the mid 90s, but the bands played on, ranging from Vanilla Ice to Weird Al Yankovic, The Tragically Hip to Ice-T. Rage Against the Machine. Phish. Queen Latifah. David Bowie. Pearl Jam & The Smashing Pumpkins opened for The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Green Day opened for Bad Religion. It wasn’t enough.
The building narrowly escaped demolition in 1997 by being declared a heritage site (the ‘lucky’ 888 address was coveted by developers). CTV bought it in 1998 as a news bureau and venue for the Mike Bullard show. MTV took over in 2006, and, despite closing the Concert Hall, still managed to cage a performance from U2 in 2009.
MTV decided to up-stakes and move down to Queen Street in 2012, but the Temple only had to wait a year before Info-Tech Research Group bought and thoroughly renovated it. The Concert Hall has been opened for special events, like listening sessions lead by Jimmy Page, concerts by Luke and the Apostles and Platinum Blond, boxing events, and much more. Now that 888 Yonge Inc. has the reins, we can expect more fantastic events in this beautiful, historic space.
