Canadia
About Canadia from Auckland
Canadia was born as the bedroom studio band of Ashley Noel Hinton. After the recording of Beg Steal and Burrow
Ashley recruited his former bandmates from Gestalt Switch Rachael Botur
(bass) and Blair McPhee (guitar), along with cool guy Will Wood
(drums). Canadia is based in Auckland, New Zealand, except for Blair who
is studying the mythical dinosaurs of Africa. This makes them a
four-piece in theory but a three-piece in concert.
Canadia means alt-country guitars, hot licks, warm harmonies, cool
bass lines and ice cold brews. It’s energetic drama pop with a head full
of melodrama and a gut full of 90s swagger. Oh wait I already said
melodrama.
If you want Canadia to be your friend then maybe have a think about
how you like to be approached by someone new. Do you prefer bold
assaults of wit and hair, or are you a fan of notes under the door and a
lot of creepy hanging around
There is a Canadia Facebook page.
Some of you might want to get all up in Ashley’s twitter and tumblr.
