Little over three years ago Graham Walsh and Brian Borcherdt started Holy F*ck, a chaotic live celebration of lo-fi noise and weirdo casio-driven rock. With a rotating rhythm section consisting of some close friends and multi-talented players, they were described as "Toronto's evil super group". Now only a few years later they have become a heavy hitting live act, with a devoted audience consisting of cultish fans and new comers drawn by their reputation. They've toured with Do Make Say Think, !!!, Clinic, Wolf Parade, Cornelius, Metric, and Mouse on Mars. They’ve also made appearances at world renowned festivals like Vegoose, All Tomorrow's Parties, Montreal Jazz, SXSW, and CMJ.
Their reputation as a must–see live act gained them a slot on last year's John Peel stage at Glastonbury. The performance ended up being hailed as one of the top three performances of Glastonbury by NME and they will be returning to the festival this year. Megasoid have made a name for themselves in Montreal as the organizers of some of the best loft and bridge parties in the city - they are now gaining international attention for their production and remixes holding down residencies in Montreal and New York as well as Toronto. You may have unknowingly caught the pair during Nuit Blanche 2007 as they performed live atop the Drake Hotel's cafe rooftop drawing a crowd of onlookers that filled Queen St. W. |
Location: Wrong Bar - 1279 Queen St. W., Toronto
