9 VOLT DELIGHT
8.30
Led by an experienced rhythm section, 9-Volt Delight creates a fitting backdrop in any timeless hipster tavern. Though staples of the Canadian music scene, their music would feel equally at home at a club in a southern swampland, and is likewise reminiscent of a downtown jazz club stage filled with fearless heady psychedelic voyagers.
Lovingly scripted by Dan Mock (bass/vocal), Dave Clark (drums/vocal), Aaron Comeau (guitar/vocal), and Jason Kenemy (piano/vocal), 9-Volt Delight, like a tongue to a battery, is a daring act of desire, a tingling excitement, electrifying, shocking, but equally gentle at times. One could describe the taste on the tip of the tongue as funky, but likewise encompassing a wide range of sensations.
15$ cover after 10pm, with all proceeds going directly to the musicians performing.
