Woodpigeon + Laura Gibson + Wounded Knee

Sunday 2nd May 2010

Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh

Over 14s only, under 16s must be with an adult

Calgary's WOODPIGEON's chamber-folk concoctions of banjo, glockenspiel, choir and Mark Hamilton's diffident vocals make for thoughtful melodious moments and joyous rock-outs. Combining the mystical comic-book fantasies of Mark's lyrics with the sparkling music of the band, comparisons to Sufjan Stevens and his delightful ilk aren't far wrong, setting Woodpigeon up to be the next great Canadian breakout band.
