Billy Moon

Billy Moon has arrived to prove that wearing a dress onstage and playing 90s-era-slacker-rock is a viable career path. An unpredictable live show complete with stage diving, costumes, audience insults, and theatrics of all kinds, speaks to the raucous nature of Mr. Moon and his band. 

 

After recent shows/tours supporting Will Butler, Nada Surf, Partner, The Most Serene Republic, Walrus and Zoobombs, Indie88 Toronto decided to be the first station in Canada to properly support the band by adding them to rotation and presenting the band's Horseshoe Tavern residency in Toronto in March of 2017.

 

"I'll Push the Pedals and You Steer" (out May12th) is an EP that isn't meant to be taken too seriously (as seen in the band's latest video for lead single, "IWK", released in MArch of 2017) but rather heard while laughing with old friends or over a cigarette with a stranger outside your favourite bar. The EP was recorded in Toronto, Ontario in October of 2016 with long time collaborator Asher Gould. The album is sad, mocking, hilarious, genuine, ridiculous, imaginative, inquisitive and hopeful, all at once. Billy Moonis truly the Hobbes to singer Graham Caldwell's Calvin. There's no room to maneuver in the music industry without imagination, and Billy Moon has that in spades.

Goodbye Honolulu

We all know how these band biographies go, right? Friends meet in high school, start jamming, form band in parents’ garage and everyone lives happily ever after.

Well Goodbye Honolulu DID meet in high school but they didn’t just form one band. They formed 5 individual projects and started their own record label while still in school, the 100% local Toronto label Fried Records. While other kids were cramming for exams or wasting away playing video games, the Goodbye Honolulu boys were busy playing in bars (attempting to sneak their underage friends in), honing their live skills, writing songs and self releasing multiple albums a year.

These teenage years were laying the foundations and as they hit their 20s Emmett, Jacob, Fox and Max decided to join forces and focus their songwriting and energy to one project, say “hello” to Goodbye Honolulu.

 

Highlights of Goodbye Honolulu’s ride so far include a USA tour supporting their pals Hinds and releasing their debut album Heavy Gold in 2016. Their sophomore release No Honey EP is due out September 01, 2017.
