The orchestral, dark pop sound and dramatic live shows cemented The Dears at the foundation of the then-emerging Canadian indie-rock renaissance. In 2001 and 2002, they released two separate concept EPs Orchestral Pop Noir Romantique and Protest, respectively. In 2003 they released their second full-length album No Cities Left in Canada, and a string of highly anticipated shows at SXSW ‘04 prompted the international release of No Cities Left with Bella Union. Gang of Losers came in 2006. In 2008 the group partnered with Dangerbird Records to release Missiles, followed by Degeneration Street (2011), Times Infinity Volume One (2015) and Times Infinity Volume Two (2017). In 2019, Murray A. Lightburn released his second solo album, Hear Me Out. The Dears have toured the world over, including performances on Letterman (twofold), Jimmy Kimmel, Jonathan Ross and at Glastonbury, T in the Park, Wireless, Montreal Jazz Fest, Siren Festival, Coachella, Austin City Limits, V Fest, Reading and Leeds, Les Inrocks (France), Montreux Jazz Fest, Istanbul Jazz Fest, Pop Montreal, CMW, NXNE and countless appearances at SXSW. They have shared stages with Spiritualized, Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Daniel Lanois, Rufus Wainwright, Zemfira, Bloc Party, Keane, Morrissey, The Tragically Hip, Metric and Death From Above, to name a few. Cones Jonathan Rosen Michael Rosen -from Los Angeles, CA -“It’s an amazing thing to work with your brother,” says Jonathan Rosen, one half of the breakout LA duo Cones. “When you know someone that well, when you can truly be yourself with them, when you can create together without inhibition, something indescribable happens.” It’s that indescribable chemistry that fuels Cones’ spectacular debut album, ‘Pictures of Pictures.’ Recorded at the band’s own Honeymoon Suite studio, the record offers up an intoxicating blend of shimmering psychedelic exploration and muscular pop craftsmanship, complete with infectious hooks and deep grooves that simultaneously hint at everything from Big Star and the Replacements to ELO and the Bee Gees. The brothers draw on their radically different backgrounds here to remarkable effect, with each bringing their own unique history to the project in perfect complement to the other. The result is a whole far greater than the sum of its parts, a record that feels at once futuristic and vintage, spontaneous and deliberate, playful and profound. Listening to ‘Pictures of Pictures,’ you might expect to find that the Rosen brothers—guitarist/vocalist Jonathan and keyboardist/producer Michael—have been playing together since childhood, but the truth is that they only began collaborating much more recently. Zachary Blizzard -from San Francisco, CA -Zachary Blizzard is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His work blends elements of experimental rock, drone, and shoegaze, with a folk foundation. While touring the US with Inland Empire indie-rock band, Jenoah (2001-2005 / drummer), Blizzard also began writing and performing as a solo artist. Shortly after he returned to his native Northern California / San Francisco, he formed experimental indie folk-rock band, Cannons & Clouds, continuing to actively perform throughout the Bay Area and West Coast, with four releases in their catalogue. Immediately after Cannons & Clouds’ official hiatus in 2014, Blizzard used the solitude to focus on home recording, pulling from influences that range from classic country western, to Irish folk music, to goth, to new-wave, to dark-noise, to drone, to experimental post-rock. While using some of the songs created to form the synth and sampler saturated group, Girl-Face, Blizzard set out to focus on a solo record, compiling solo written songs, as well as select alternate versions of Cannons & Clouds and Girl-Face songs. &amp;amp;lt;a href="http://zacharyblizzard.bandcamp.com/album/zachary-blizzard"&amp;amp;gt;ZACHARY BLIZZARD by Zachary Blizzard&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;
