The pride of Cobourg Ontario (though I think they’re based out of Toronto now), cleopatrick, have shared a new fuzzy distorted rocket of a jam, “WHAAT.”

We played the song “hometown” on CFOX back in… oof, 2017-18? Wow. Time marches on eh?

cleopatrick recently wrapped a handful of shows out east. They have a tour of Europe on deck for early 2027 before a North American tour that has the duo playing primarily in the US with a hometown show in Toronto to end off on.

Ontario
The band is from Ann Arbor, Michigan, but they are called Ontario.

The website Noise Trade featured this new-ish indie rock band and I clicked play on a couple songs over the holidays.  The style is very reminiscent of that traditional indie sound of most the 2000s.  Very pretty, lots of harmonies, dainty, jangly guitars.

The band has their ep up on Noise Trade…. its free and you can “tip” the band if you’re into it.  I think today they are pushing fr the downloads and trying to drive up the chart so maybe trade the email for some songs. CLICK HERE!

Imma on Facebook (just like everybody else).

DJ Notes

01) Doc Currie – “Eastern Shore”
02) Aegis Fang – “Ghetto Man”
03) Saul – “Too Quick To Judge”
04) The Racoons – “Secret Song”

I met the boys in Doc Currie last week at Logan’s opening for The CFC (not to be confused with the Couples for Christ). DC is just two just guys doing the drums and guitar thing.  Lots of audio weirdness.  Two was thinking they sounded like Modest Mouse, I disagreed and pulled some threads of Japanadroids out.  But listening to “Eastern Shore” again on Capital Rock City… it is a little more noisy and experimental.

Aegis Fang!  Lets do it, this Thursday at Sugar for Beats and Babes 2!

BeatsandBabes2

The good kids in Saul asked me a couple weeks ago if they could use a clip form the Zone Afternoon Show in an intro to a song on their new record.  I said, “yuppers!”  And now you’re hearing it on Capital Rock City.  man, those were some good oranges.  I still remember them.  And to tie CRC 57 in to The Paper Cranes, Miranda went to Save-On and bought some oranges too.

The Racoons are on tour right now… Ontario maybe?  They’ll be back in Victoria for a show at Sugar on June 12th.  new ep, “Islomania” is out in Early June as well.

The “secret song” at the end of the “I’d Rather Be Sailing with” ep is a song that lead singer Matt describes as their “National sounding song.”  The National are taking FOREVER to follow up Boxer, so the Racoons will have to scratch that itch for me.

That’s all I got.  Thank you for downloading Capital Rock City.  If you like the show, please share the fine music of Victoria with your friends and pass the link on your social networks.

Go with yourself.
