Weaves - live

+ support



Free Entry



"Weaves are a Canadian indie band whose sound lands somewhere between Pixies and Pavement. They have the fierce power of the former and the quirky singularity of the latter. Arch and angular, their music has a crazed energy – “they bend pop tropes as if they’re made of Silly Putty”, according to Rolling Stone – that makes them seem almost cartoonish. Critics used to rave about Black Francis’s lupine howls; by comparison Weaves are cubs, yapping at the heels of their forebears. Their indie guitar music twists and turns – “weaves” is about right – with mischievous intent. It’s effervescent with an edge, like early-90s US alt rock dipped in sugar: bubblegrunge, or something."
