Canadia

+

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.
