CBC Musical Nooners August 13: Gay Nineties
Catchy hooks and infectious rhythms that will have you on your feet
Vancouver band the Gay Nineties will bring their infectious harmonies, psychedelic keyboards and stomping drums to the CBC Musical Nooners stage Thursday.
Gay Nineties
The Gay Nineties began as a duo of drummer Malcom Holt and singer Parker Bossley, who has also played with Hot Hot Heat and Mounties. Over time the group added bassist Daniel Knowlton and keyboardist Bruce Ledingham IV, rounding out the band's sound with vintage synth tones.
Their debut EP Coming Together was released to critical acclaim, and their single Letterman received heavy rotation on Canadian radio. The band is currently in the process of writing a full-length album.
For a taste of what's to come on Thursday, listen to Letterman:
The CBC Musical Nooners are a series of free, live music concerts every weekday from noon to 1 p.m. at the CBC Vancouver Plaza on Hamilton Street (between West Georgia and Robson).
