How Ketamines can create such warming, vibrant sounds in the great white
north is still confusing our team of scientists, but the three raw and
sunny-sounding blasts of pop on this debut EP will surely have your
chest pounding with excitement, and I’m not even a doctor. Formed from
the ashes of the revered Myelin Sheaths
and Endangered Ape, and current Fist City and Mammoth Cave Recordings
figure heads, Ketamines are truly the Alberta super group you need to
hear. It’s a rush of swirling pop psychedelia that doesn’t veer too far
off the deep end, and ropes you into a technicolor world conjuring
visions of the UFO Club, cross-wired with luxuriously textured Simply
Saucer vibes, all crushed comfortably around teetering lysergic song
structures.
Whether it’s the metronomically phased choruses and
flanged nuances that shift effortlessly between the inescapable hooks,
or the eerily cheerful songs you simply can’t shake out of your head for
days, the Ketamines debut EP is everything you wouldn’t think they’d be
based on their moniker alone. They still harness the hazy, confident
stride of the dazed legends that came before them, and their psychedelic
pop should carry them straight into the arms of today’s most jaded with
ease.
WITH:
UNCLE BAD TOUCH (Montreal, QU)
http://unclebadtouchband.t
Uncle Bad Touch is a collaborative effort between Priestess' lead
vocalist Mikey Heppner and newcommer Kathryn McCaughey. In a short year,
they've been building the reputation of one of the most exciting bands
in the current Montreal scene. Their debut LP (being reissued by
Infinity Cat) is one of our personal favourite musical discoveries of
the year, alternating between ballsy rockers and melancholy torch songs
meant for rainy days.
AND:
Babysitter (Victoria, BC)

Second time in Lethbridge for Babysitter this year, everyone's favourite new band.
