Andre Pettipas & The Giants, with support from PEI’s Brad Milligan and Halifax’s June Body, celebrate the release of their Under Control album at The Carleton on Friday, July 21st. Show time is 8 PM and tickets are $20 + HST.
With their take no prisoners live performances, stellar musicianship, and habit of finding grist for the songwriting mill in everything from southern rock to prog and pop. Andre Pettipas and The Giants are a rarity – an act who absolutely refuse to let anything take the fun out of their creative process performances on record or on stage, and with absolutely no fear of stopping outside the box to get their message across.
June Body‘s brand new full-length record, Never Here for Long, aims to marry the differing approaches of their last two outings. It preserves the DIY methodology and rawness of their debut, while also showcasing growth into a bigger rock sound. Soaring vocal harmonies and danceable pop-rock hooks give way to tender melancholic lows, with lyricism that is unafraid of exploring pain, anxiety, and what it means to be in love.
