A lot of people were out to check out a new Calgary supergroup at the Slice, Jan. 21.
Gold, a supergroup of sorts including members of Shematoma, Women, the Yukas and Extra Happy Ghost,” played an upbeat set of dreamy, delay ridden, jangly indie pop-rock music to an enthusiastic audience.
The two girls harmonized beautifully and hauntingly as they traded delay heavy guitar riffs, giving them a neo Go-Gos or Bangles type of ’80s pop sound. But their songs had enough of a diverse sound to keep the show interesting.
Their vocal harmonies were simply mesmerizing.
Redrum Triumph, aka Kelsey Jesperson and Steve Foord played a relaxed set of original folk/ pop combining an array of mandolin and guitar with Jesperson’s cello and violin.
They also opened for Shred Kelly the night before. I wasn’t able to stick around for Reuben Bullock, who closed the show.
