Has anyone else been sucked into this wonderfully absurd funhouse of a musical cult? I'm approaching old fart status and lost interest in new music many moons ago, but these two guys from Saguenay lit a fire in my ears. I love them.

Adore them! As someone who's seen King Crimson live and loves Rush, this is so refreshing and up my alley. Amazing modern prog! I'm a bit old school too, and never really got into newer stuff like Tool, so it was so lovely to see newer bands that are just so up my alley as a 60's-80's prog nerd! I tried SO HARD to get tickets, but alas 😭
Yeah, tickets are hard to come by now, although had you been in Montreal a few weeks ago for the jazz festival, you could have been part of the 70,000+ people who crammed into the streets for their free concert. Apparently the cops had to start turning people away because the crowd size was getting too overwhelming for the space.
I'm soooo jealous. Yeah, if anyone has tickets, your girl has cashola and there's always the ol' barter system ☺
I resisted listening to them for so long because they just blew the fuck up out of nowhere and I was kinda turned off by their polka dot costumes gimmick. I finally actually listened to them recently and I gotta say their music is fantastic. It's cool seeing such a weirdo proggy mathy band becoming so successful
What i like about them is they are also humble. A great interview in guitar world
"It would be presumptuous to think that it's only about the music. Because, while we make an honest effort to create fun and original tunes, there's also an endless flow of amazing music being put out every day by people whose virtuosity knocks me out of my chair. Has the success of any rock band ever been only about the music?"

Update: WAAAAAH I GOT A TICKET!!!! 😭
So freakin' stoked!!!
So freakin' stoked!!!
So jelly. Which one? Pearl or commodore?
either venue great, as next time they come to town, I highly doubt it will be as small
And intimate.
Congrats! Here's something to whet your appetite. Some of the best fan-posted footage I've seen on YouTube. Front-row-centre at their gig in Los Angeles earlier this week.
I was at the Pearl! It was freaking insane! I found a raised area tucked away so I had a pretty solid view over the crowd. Unfortunately there were two massive gronks I had to kinda move around so they didn't obscure the view, but overall so lucky to have gotten my spot! The show was incredible. Great opener too! And I proved to myself that I can dance to ANY time signature 😊 So grateful that I got that ticket. Whine enough on the internet and ye shall receive 🤷🏽♀️

Awesome! I'm happy for you.
I'm going to have an itchy trigger finger hovering above the "Purchase Tickets" button next time they swing by this way.
