Flood has come out with set times for their day parties at Mohawk. Given the limited number of day parties this year I have a feeling the only way to get in is to arrive early.
This multi-instrumentalist is playing Wednesday at 1pm. It's the moniker of Toronto based Hannah Bussere Kim. Her album is getting great reviews. Pitchfork says:
Over the course of its 13 tracks, Li and producer/bandmate Braden Sauder pass a thread through the buoyant harmonies of late-’60s Beach Boys and ELO, the acidic soul of Shuggie Otis and Eddie Hazel-era Funkadelic, the space-age synth-phonies of Stereolab and Air, and the post-chillwave R&B of We Are KING and recent Tame Impala. (The album’s daydreamy milieu is disrupted only by “Star Stuff,” a garage-rock sprint where Li channels her inner Karen O.)
This article talks about her inspiration for the album:
to provide a safe place for people who feel like they don’t belong. It’s something that the 25-year-old Toronto musician can relate to well, her experience of growing up between two cultures sometimes leaving her feeling like she didn’t fully fit in with either. “I’m half-Korean, half-Canadian so [I was] trying to find this balancing act of the two cultures that I come from,” she explains.
Apparently Japanese Breakfast is a big fan. She has opened for them on the last tour. John Laird from 101X Homegrown picks her as one of the "8 Must-see live shows" of SXSW.
