Wilderness of Manitoba

10/9/2014

Out of the wild and into the bright lights: this week we present a band that has fearlessly evolved since its early days.  Formed circa 2008 and now with 4 full-length discs to show for, The Wilderness Of Manitoba are cranking up their sound.  Their brand new disc, Between Colours, showcases their unique boy/girl vocals, guitar/violin string work and features some impressive contributions from the likes of Howie Beck and Alex Lifeson. Yes, THAT Alex Lifeson, lead guitarist of Canada's seminal rock band, RUSH.  How does a guitar solo from a member of RUSH fit in?  Not only does it fit, but it helps carve the band's unique folk-rock sound. With Michael Phillip Wojewoda (Rheostatics) joining in with his haunting theremin, the rock sound goes prog in a shoegazer kinda way.  (Ahh the joys of describing music with mere words.)  All to say, it's a great combination of creative energy that deserves to be heard.

We will be chatting with them on air this week.  They are coming to Ottawa next Saturday, October 18 at Mavericks. Tune in for a preview on 89.1 FM or on-line at CHUO.fm  All the fun starts at 5 pm!
