Vancouver buzz band Said the Whale to play Myer Horowitz Theatre April 25
Posted on January 20, 2012 By Albert Smith Front Slider, Music
Time for another buzz band you’ll probably not get a chance to see in a small theatre again: Said the Whale, winner of best new group at the 2011 Juno Awards, is playing the Myer Horowitz Theatre on Wednesday, April 25.
Crafting a crisp, snappy, happy, jingly-jangly poppy sound into a threat of modern rock chart domination, this Vancouver band will be touring behind its upcoming album Little Mountain, out March 6. Judging from the new single, Heavy Ceiling, it’s a “darker” sound for the synth-loving quintet whose main critical buzzword up to now seems to be “razor-sharp.” The Annual Gathering of the Music Critics should come up with a few new appropriate adjectives. Voted the 12th of “12 Rockstars to Watch for 2012 by Rockstar magazine – a list that includes the already thoroughly watched Van Halen and the Rolling Stones – Said the Whale will continue its holy quest for modern rock domination with a March appearance at the South By Southwest (SXSW) Music and Arts Festival in Austin, Texas. Get your tickets now – they are $18 and will go on sale Saturday.
