Hot Concert Picks for January

Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West took an interesting approach with their debut album, releasing one single every month until its September 4th release. Now the London duo is taking their atmospheric synthpop project on the road for a 31-city tour across North America and the UK, including several sold out shows.

Neon Indian were one of the most exciting things to come out of the chillwave craze. Their debut album spawned several hits (including the quintessential summer track “Deadbeat Summer”) and was widely regarded as one the best albums of 2009. They’re currently touring in support of their third album, Vega Intl. Night School, which was released in October.

Givers

January 31 at The Drake Underground (1150 Queen St. W.)

givers

Formed in 2008 in Lafayette, Louisiana, Givers describe their sound as “Afro-beat, dancey pants, indie pop love music.” Canadian legend Neil Young is such a fan of the band that he gave them not one, but two shout outs in his autobiography. So cool!
