Apollo Suns

Born from the fusing of four uniquely talented Winnipeg, Canada based musicians, Apollo Suns have created a refreshing and innovative sound combining instrumental, rock, jazz and experimental music.

Apollo Suns began in 2015 by Ed Durocher (guitar) and Dave Guenette’s (bass) and they soon after picked up Ethan McKibben (drums) and Chad Braun(keyboards). Trumpet player, Phil Collins, and percussionist, Paul Klassen, often accompany their live shows.

Apollo Suns constantly challenge themselves in their writing by constructing jazz influenced songs with the end goal of maintaining an overall accessible and catchy track for listeners of all kinds.

Some of their most notable shows include support slots for WCMA winners Mariachi Ghost and Five Alarm Funk, Mahogany Frog and Bend Sinister; have been included on UMFM 101.5FM compilation album Transmissions (2016), as well as a showcase at Shine on Music
Festival in 2016.

Computer Sweat

Regina-based Computer Sweat culminates a unique sound that draws from different threads within rock music: indie, shoegaze, and surf, among others, melding these influences into a style that is truly reflective of their flatland home. Encasing atmospheric highway escapes, cutting riffs, and lucid drifting melodies, Computer Sweat's sound easily translates to an audience as diverse as their music. Composed of Everett Hunter, Devin Zerr, Derek Marin, and Cullen Angus, the group strays away from genre-specific conventions while offering a tasteful homage to their predecessors. Computer Sweat drives themselves to develop their own tone, atmosphere, and their own story. Sticking to their humble beginnings in living rooms and basements, this prairie-rooted four piece is devoted to igniting listeners with compelling and catchy songwriting, coupled with an energetic live performance.
