THE LOCAL DISH #1: SUB-LINGUALS

We’ll be serving up a profile on a different local band every Tuesday (Who-they?-Tuesdays?) from now until the festival kicks off.  Consider it the musical equivalent of ginger beef and the Caesar.  First up, a band who absolutely stole the show at the Sled Island pre-fest party and wow’d our guest curator, Colin Newman…Sub-linguals.

In Calgary’s current wave of weirdo garage rock, the Sub-linguals are one of the brashest, trashiest and best of the lot.  Onstage, frontman Kamil Krulis can be seen smeared in lip-stick, sporting fingerless gloves and a leather jacket as a cape like some kind of superhero/villain hybrid; your wildest dream and worst nightmare realized at the same time.  He’s joined by riff-lovin’ guitar shredder Pete Roe, who alongside Krulis is also a former member of local legends the El Caminos.  These battle-blasted veterans have pumped some fresh blood into their latest collaboration in the form of brotherly duo Ryan and Eric Sadler, squelching away on organ and holding down the drumkit, respectively.  Their sound is just as intoxicating as their live show, so keep your ears open amidst the chaos for some timeless, animalistic tunes.

Don’t miss these guys — the live show is jaw-dropping.  And while you’re at it, befriend them on myspace!
