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!

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!

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!
