AAWKS & Sons of Arrakis Start Canadian Shows Tomorrow
Canadian upstarts AAWKS and Sons of Arrakis pair pretty well together. Both issued well-buzzed debut albums in 2022 — AAWKS (review here) and Volume I (review here), respectively, and they have some things in common sound-wise without actually sounding all that much alike. Throw some cool locals on here and there for two long weekenders — one starting tomorrow, one in March — and I guess you could debate whether or not it’s a tour. It’s Ontario and Quebec, crossing provincial lines. I’m not about to tell someone that doing four shows in a row isn’t a tour, so I guess if you want to couple that with another four shows together and call it one tour, who’s gonna argue? Other than gatekeeping assholes, I mean.
Hell, bring this show to New York (or even better, to New Jersey) and I promise I’ll do my best to get there.
Or maybe I should just drive to Montreal? Hmm…
