Band Details

From the Promoter

POESY

POESY is an independent alternative rock artist based out of London, Ontario. Recently garnering much attention this past 150th Canada Day celebrations, POESY shared the stage with Canadian favourites such as Hollerado, Sloan and FeFe Dobson at Sesquifest held in London. Her debut EP entitled the Spotless Mind has been played and featured on campus radio stations across the country and has also gained press coverage. She is currently working on a new multimedia album focused on exploring the experiences of LGBTQ+ youth in London, ON.

THE NURSERY

The Nursery are a vibrant 3-piece band who weave hazy, neon-drenched atmospheres into irresistibly ear-worm worthy songs that bring light into the darker side of life. The Nursery took home Best Indie Band (2015) and Best Music Video (2016) at the Toronto Independent Music Awards for a self-produced video for their song "Digital Ashes". The song also appears in Season 1 of the CBC show Schitt's Creek. The Converse Shoe Company sponsored the band to record new music for their newest album, Life After Wartime (July 7).

MARLON CHAPLIN

Toronto born musician/songwriter/producer Marlon Chaplin has just released his EP 'Wanderer By Trade', recorded live off the floor with some of Toronto's most adept musicians (members of Zeus, Lemon Bucket Orkestra and the Skydiggers) as contributing members. Marlon formerly shared co-writing duties in pop/rock outfit Broken Bricks, before moving on a solo career as well as joining Freeman Dre & the Kitchen Party and Ada Dahli & the Pallbearers, producing the latter.

BEAUTIFUL NOTHING

Musically, an eighties ignited sphere of driving electronics, thick, grimace-inducing bass lines and soaring, dissonant guitar lines that would speak to the Pixies in their Bossanova years. Lyrically, the songs are an ode to youthful exuberance, sex, burning cities, ghosts and relationships past. Vocal leads casually pushing through like Edwynn Collins when he found his crooner meets punk rocker footing in Orange Juice. When all these sonic aspects combine in the melting pot we get... Beautiful Nothing.

Riding the momentum of their self-titled debut release which saw them sharing stages with names like The Trews, Monster Truck, The Arkells, and Finger Eleven, Burlington’s Beautiful Nothing recently released their new EP entitled Sleep Walk, which the band thoughtfully describes as an “indie electro-rock stream of consciousness”.

With plenty of live shows, cinematic music videos and an album release that could be the soundtrack to a science fiction teenage novel from 1984, 2017 is looking to be the perfect time for Beautiful Nothing to exponentially grow their blossoming cult following.

Beautiful Nothing is Anthony, Luke and Shane Ludgate, Sven Petrovic and James Featherstone.
