September 2nd we will be heading out Queen West to play at a little bar/eatery called Mitzi’s Sister. We chose this intimate setting because it’s the perfect place to perform those tunes that often get overlooked in our large loud live sets.
Songs like Mercy Please and Baby Steps will be played among others that sometimes get squeezed out much to certain listeners’ dismay.
Details can be found on our shows page.
Hope to see you there!
We have just been offered a show in the Kitchener/Waterloo area. On Saturday July 24th we will be at Maxwell’s Music House with up and coming solo artist Andrew Allen.
We played in Kitchener last fall and it was one of the best shows we can remember. The energy was amazing. If you can get to this show it will be well worth your while!
Doors are at 9:00. Cover $7.00, $5.00 for students.

We’ve added a show on Thursday, July 22nd at Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern. For this one we’re putting everyone on the guest list! To get your and your friends in for FREE just click here and give us the info.
We go on at 9:00 sharp so you’ll be able to get home and get your beauty sleep before your Friday morning alarm clock goes off!
All the info is at www.winhara.com.

Last night we had the honour of playing Toronto’s North by Northeast music festival as part of the Random Science showcase. We had the opportunity to share the stage with some of Toronto, Montreal and New York’s best artists including: The Clear, Hexes and Ohs, NLX, Airheart and Purrr.
We met a heap of great people, sold some Hold Back Light Show albums and got some great press (more on that still to come). Thanks to everyone who came out, lent us your energy and made the night a huge success!
Available now is the newly finished track, Five Alarm!
As with all the songs in the Beta Collection, we are giving it away for free! All you have do to is go to www.winhara.com and click on the link under the ‘Free Downloads’ heading. You can also stream it right away in the music section.

From 8:00pm to 11:00pm we will be setting up camp at Yonge and Dundas Square to promote our upcoming NXNE showcase (Saturday June 19 at the Bread and Circus. Info here).
On stage at that time will be Sloan, K-Os and Said the Whale. So drop by say hi and grab a t-shirt and cd (only $10 each).
We continue work on our second album, Beta Collection, and have just received the latest mix of our newest addition – an upbeat track called Five Alarm. While ‘road testing’ this song it has received extremely positive feedback, more from the movement of the audience than anything else.
If all goes according to plan, we will be releasing this track for free download via our website sometime next week before our showcase at North by Northeast on Saturday night.
In the meantime we have posted a live version of ‘God Save the Queen,’ recorded at our recent show at C’est What. Listen to it now!
This year we will be part of a showcase at Toronto’s annual NXNE music festival. We will be taking the stage Saturday June 19th at the Bread and Circus with other electro/rock/pop acts including The Clear, Hexes and Ohs, NLX, Airheart and Purrr.
This promises to be an amazing evening (we are equally excited to watch the other acts as we are to play) so don’t miss out. More details to follow…
We sat down with Graeme of OntheGOinTo, an excellent Toronto entertainment blog, to talk about everything from writing to releasing new songs to the state of the music biz.
