What makes your music stand out in the local music scene?
For starters, it&#8217;s electronic. There aren&#8217;t many people making electronic music here. There&#8217;s a ton of bands, but not many electronic acts. A lot of locals like to dance to electro, [...]]]></description>

Pop! I think so, anyway. Luckily for us there isn&#8217;t much (self-described) pop acts in the city right now, so it kind of makes us stand out. Also our music is pretty heavily rooted [...]]]></description>

Starring Celina Barry, Allison Corbett, Darren Browne, Noah Bender, and Billy, Ilia, and Jake Nicoll, plays fun, thoroughly danceable traditional klezmer, from mournful doinas to contemplative nigns.

Neary wrote the songs while away in B.C. last year and, upon returning to St. John’s, assembled a kickass band to play them.
