Royal Canoe, a six-piece ensemble from Winnipeg, performs with guests Close Talker at Lucky Bar on October 9.

Tickets are available online at Ticketweb and can also be purchased in advance at Ditch Records and Lyle's Place. (19+ event. 2 Pieces ID Required.)

If you really, absolutely had to reduce Royal Canoe to a single �thing� you could say they catch the moment of explosive, blissful restlessness that hits you when a savage winter finally eases into light, and you feel some actual warmth on those pasty, vitamin-D deprived limbs and all they want to do, suddenly, is move.

A six-piece ensemble from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Royal Canoe give you everything, but on their own maniacally hybrid terms. It's one thing to reference a particular style, or even a range of styles. It's another thing entirely to grab huge handfuls of sounds from pretty much anywhere, throw them all together and come up with something both cohesive and totally distinctive�something that also happens to ripple and crack with energy. This is what Royal Canoe does best.
