Photos: The Sundelles at Northside Festival
Another band we checked out for the first time on the last day of the Northside Festival was The Sundelles. We came across them recently online and liked what we heard, so, when we saw them listed in the festival program, we made sure to make it to the 1928 Recordings showcase they were playing at Bruar Falls. The trio plays tightly structured, pleasantly fuzzed-out pop that, live, brought to mind what Weezer might sound like if Rivers Cuomo woke up one morning to find he’d switched bodies Freaky Friday-style with Anton Newcombe of Brian Jonestown Massacre. Listening to some of the recordings we’ve found online, we also notice a nice dash of Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers style here and there. Especially in this demo:
mp3: “Keep It To Yourself” by The Sundelles
Sorry to go so far down the “this band reminds me of…” rabbit hole. We really enjoyed/are enjoying these guys a lot, so we highly recommend checking out their mp3s available via RCRD LBL from earlier in the year and heading out to one of their slew of upcoming shows, such as the one tonight at Union Pool with Crocodiles.
