Triples - Summer Song

With its multiple floors, cavernous halls, creaky stairwells and peeling-paint grandeur, Workman Arts might be the closest thing Long Winter has found to its old home at the pre-restoration Great Hall. Long Winter does an excellent job of not only putting audiences face-to-face with art and music from outside their bubble but also sometimes serving up examples of exactly the sort of thing a person would dig but had somehow not yet heard of. Such was the case when I found my way back into the Main Hall and was totally knocked out by this duo. Sisters Eva and Madeline Link seem to have inherited a love of crunchy 90's-style alternative rock — quite possibly from their father Pete Link, who played in Calgary's 90's garage rockers Shinolas. The pair's own tape is already a bit in the rearview, and there are some new songs in their setlist, so keep an eye out for further developments.

[Triples will be getting things going at The Garrison next Thursday (April 18th) at Gloin's EP release on a bill with Burner and Tyriqueordie.]
