It is always great to see bands constantly improving. Local punk/ alternative rock trio Advertisement and Moose Jaw indie pop trio
PandaCorn both played extremely tight sets at the Slice, Jan. 16.
I arrived midway through a ferocious set from Advertisement.
Guitarist/ vocals Adrian Sutherland, weaved and leaped around playing thunderous riffs as bassist Nigel Derksen got lost in the groove while drummer Ryan Grieve flailed away at the skins.
The had amazing intensity and energy and a furious attack which had most of the dozen people in the audience jumping in front of the stage.
Megan Nash and Brodie Mohninger dressed in their trademark unicorn and panda costumes backed by drummer Ryan Schnell, played an incredibly tight set of ridiculously catchy indie-pop music mixed with electro pop music.
Mohninger added the indie rock on guitar and played a lot of great hooks, while Nash plunked away at her synthesizers adding bass and quirky sounds adding an ’80s feel to the music especially when she added what sounded like a few bars of Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean.’
The duo took turns singing lead. Nash sounded a lot like Serena Ryder especially on songs like ‘Mother’s Daughter.’ They also harmonized together beautifully.
“This is a song about parenting and how little we know about it. This next one is about love and how little we know about it,” she laughed in 
between songs.
They played the songs from their EP ‘Synthesis of Opposites’ and a few more to appear on the full length version.
They ended with one of these ‘Too Many Irons’, a catchy number which would have been at home on a Cars or Fountains of Wayne album.
