Let's twist

Toronto fuzz brigade Twist paid a visit to Ottawa on Wednesday, teaming up with Winnipeg's Yes We Mystic and Ottawa's Trees for a fine set of art rock and fizzing pop. Trees were on first. They started off as an instrumental trio. With the addition of vocalist Jon they've moved into Jeff Buckley and Radiohead territory. Here's Jon!

Twist played a super set; I get the impression main brain Laura has a few Jesus and Mary Chain records in her collection. Soundwise I think the band also sounds a bit like a less-baked Mac DeMarco. Here's Laura!



Keyboard action with Patrick!
