GAIN Media presents the 10th annual GAIN Music & Arts Festival from June 17-19, 2022
June 17:
Pipedown & GAIN Fest Present:
Sun Junkies are a 4 piece garage rock/surf punk band from Brantford, Ontario. Known for their high energy and unpredictable live performances, Sun Junkies combine the melancholic and introspective nature of the 90’s indie scene with the melody forward simplicity of modern day surf rock.
Habit – presented by Kazoo!Fest.
Habit is a four-piece rock group from Guelph, ON. Their brand of post-punk deals in abrupt dynamic shifts, alternative between spare, wiry guitar lines and expressionist splatters of noise. Their songs grapple with the drudgerous monotony and everyday violence of adult life, and their live performances are known for an austere sense of dread punctuated by moments of cacophonous catharsis.
Livers is the moniker of Danny Webster, a singer songwriter and multi- instrumentalist based out of Toronto, Canada. Raised in a small town in Ontario, Danny was raised on his mother’s love of classical music and his father’s of 80’s metal, becoming fascinated by music from a young age. Almost completely self-taught, he started writing songs as a therapeutic activity after his mother passed when he was 14, leading him to release his first album a few years later. After graduating high school, Danny attended a prestigious jazz program in Toronto but dropped out after a year to put more time in his own creative pursuits. Since then, he has released many singles, EPs, a second album with a third on the way exploring folk, indie rock, country, and pop styles. His lyrics tend to focus on loss, love, grief, fear, and anxiety, listing his main influences as The Beatles, Tame Impala, ABBA, Bon Iver, Radiohead and The Beach Boys. Aged 22 now, he intends to continue exploring different genres in his writing and continue to perform with his backing band.
