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.

Make sure you sign up for our newsletter so you get all the updates on free music and free shows right away!

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!
