under the water

i finally got the chance to see telefauna live last week. there was a great showcase of local bands at the city's best venue (la sala rossa). the price? pay-what-you-can. i was in heaven. opening as we arrived was a three-piece band called sister suvi. i'd seen part of their set during the pop montréal festival back in october and wondered when they'd be playing again. it sounds very grungy with a tinge of folk (one member plays a mandolin). it's pretty good and they were in great shape last week. before telefauna took the stage, i wanted to make sure to grab their ep, which i was never able find even in independent record stores. 5$, and to my utter surprise, it dates back to 2005. i'm not sure exactly what they are waiting for to record an album. i overheard the guitarist say that they were just waiting the right offer/opportunity, but common, 3 years?!
anyways, their set was fabulous and when they announced that they were playing one more song and went on to play "under the underground water" i swooned and shook my hips and was all the more convinced that it should be played on my dj set.

stat!
