It's
not everyday that our fair city gets a visit from a band who has
travelled all the way from Birmingham, UK. Especially when the band
is as great and talented as lo-fi, punk rockers Johnny Foreigner.
The newly redesigned four piece will be making a stop at the Black Shire Pub (511 Talbot St.) when they touch ground in Canada during their “Johnny
Foreigner vs. The Atlantic” North American tour. Although the band,
who originally formed in 2006, are no strangers to this side of the
planet Johnny Foreigner will be a name more widely heard across
Canada and the United States thanks to their recent signing with
Chicago record label Swerp, as well as their latest EP release
“Names,” their first release with Swerp but fourth with UK label
Alcopop! Records. Full of energy and the right rhythm to get you on
your feet this band is one that cure your hump day blues. On
Wednesday, November 21st Johnny Foreigner (consisting of
Alexei Berrow, Kelly Southern, Junior Laidley and newest member Lewes
Herriot) will take the stage and bless us with some music along with
:
The
indie pop, progressive rock group that hail from Toronto who are
lucky enough to share the stage with the band on more than several
nights during the Canadian half of the tour. A band that displays the
prefect combination of synthy keys and stunning harmonies. A
combination that can be heard in their so new it's fresh EP
“Mother/Father” and in their latest single Feet
Here (which you can listen to here).
And
More More
These
local rock darlings are no stranger to the stage. With catchy, guitar
driven tunes that will make your toes tap and will never disappoint.
And how could you say no to a preview of new material set for the
studio. Their “Horse Head EP,” released earlier this year, was
greatly received on CHRW and the band has been featured on two local
compilations.
Did I mention that this show is only $5? FIVE DOLLARS!
Not
convinced? Need more information. Well lucky for you I was able to
ask Kelly from Johnny Foreigner a few questions that you can read
below! Yay!
