MPSHOWS.COM PRESENTS
CLUES BELLA KOSHKA QUIST AND THE HATS CLUES began building in secret in the summer of 2007, playing a series of un-advertised shows in small Montréal venues. Emerging above-ground in 2008, their first performances elicited passionate responses from both audiences and music media. During live shows and on recordings, the band share and trade-off on their extensive collection of instruments and create a hopeful, urgent music that expands Montréal’s (already diverse) pop music lexicon, with references to post-punk and experimental music traditions. CLUES’ concerts incorporate multiple drummers, a Commodore 64, and an OLPC. $10.00 ADVANCE TICKETS / $10.00 DAY OF SHOW |
