I wrote this whole section out on ‘Charcoal Heather’ and how I felt weird about having my old band from my hometown up here and not Tie Dye or Ear Heart but it deleted the whole section on me after I tried to add Tie Dye and Ear Heart to this list lol and I got frustrated so this is just Charcoal Heather's description now
Death Wears Tie Dye is a funk adjacent, opens for Weezer aesthetic, cover band from another universe that has none of the same songs as our universe. Our keyboardist is in that band and their bassist is one of my best friends. They've got a couple singles and stuff released and are working on an album right now. They play very tight and technical music and are a cool live act who've gathered a decent and consistent following. Definitely worth catching a show if you're in Toronto
Amelia Ear Heart's Sonic Aviary is the Beatles but not at all. Kinda like how we're the Cars but not at all. Moreso weed Beatles than acid Beatles tho. Their live show consists of the main band, and a cast of other recurring performers including at least 1 dancer (often 2), a sample machine player, and even ocassionally a painter. Amelia Ear Heart's Sonic Aviary is ¾ members of Death wears Tie Dye but their singer is playing drums now and their keyboardist is still our keyboardist and their bassist is still one of my best friends. They don't really have a linktree up so I'll juist link the instagram. If you live in Toronto you owe it to yourself to check out a live show of theirs
