SUMMARY:Sled Island presents: Kali Horse\, sundayclub\, APACALDA and Victrix
DESCRIPTION:Kali HorseThe experimental art-rock collaboration of multi-instrumentalist producers Sam Maloney and Desiree Das Gupta\, Kali Horse blends fantasy with harsh realism\, colliding genres with reckless abandon. Their avant-pop whimsicality channels Björk\, while their soaring anthemic moments reflect their rock roots. Their vocal connection? Hypnotic. Check out their latest release\, 2099\, for a sample of what’s to come. \nsundayclubBlurring hazy indie pop with dreamy textures and unfiltered storytelling\, sundayclub’s songcraft doubles as grainy\, glowing snapshots of early adulthood. Formed in rural Manitoba\, the group captures the strange\, beautiful in-between of who you were and who you’re becoming\, sharpening in sound as their sense of self comes into focus.\nAPACALDABorn from the mind of vocalist\, songwriter\, and producer Cassandra Angheluta\, APACALDA deals in goth-tinged indie pop and dark psychedelia. With softly jagged lyrics and moody song production\, she creates a playful\, confrontational\, and charged performance that will have you fashionably brooding all night long.\n  Victrix\nCalgary\, AB\nConnecting the dots between bedroom folk\, chamber pop\, and the darker side of dream pop\, Victrix weaves together the more confessional side of classic songwriting. With a strong penchant for synths\, drum machines\, and tastefully deployed melodic ornamentation\, they betray an abiding interest in the granular details of songcraft and arrangement.\n\nImportant info: Start and running times are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Sled Island and Mint Records present: Nora Kelly Band\, Knitting\, Jed Arbour and more
DESCRIPTION:Nora Kelly BandBorn from friends jamming by the train tracks in Montreal’s Mile End neighbourhood\, people flocked to listen and sing along to Nora Kelly Band — until the cops chased them off. NKB’s twist on alt-country delivers haunting harmonies\, rambunctious twang\, and wry lyrics. It’s the perfect backdrop for your next tussle in the hay. knittingWith evocative storytelling and a dry sense of humour\, knitting makes guitar driven\, lyrically introspective indie rock evoking the nostalgia of ‘90s alternative. Their debut album Some Kind of Heaven was released in September 2024 to international critical acclaim\, leading to tours across North America\, Europe and the UK. Their second full-length album is expected in June 2026. \nJed ArbourA self-described “queer\, cathartic\, post-rock listening adventure\,” Jed Arbour shares a generous amount of themselves via their music\, making listeners feel unsettled\, understood\, and self-reflective. A deeply honest and captivating experience\, their music offers a wide range of textures to encompass most moods and worm its way into most eardrums.  \n\nHeaven For RealHelmed by iconoclastic songwriting twins Mark and J. Scott Grundy\, Heaven For Real has existed in many iterations over the past decade; consistently twisting the raw genre materials of pop and rock into perplexingly poetic configurations. Their latest LP Who Died & Made You The Dream? was released on Mint Records in November 2025.\n\nImportant info: Start and running times are subject to change.
