Yukon Blonde, Kelowna B.C. Canada
Originally from Kelowna, Yukon Blonde was named one of the top ten bands to break out in 2010, by the CBC and that they have. They have worked with producer Shawn Cole (Bend Sinister (Vancouver) and You Say Party! We Say Die! (Abbotsford)), and playing the South By Southwest festival. They are scheduled to go on tour with Plants and Animals (Montreal) in February 2011. At first listen they sound like a mix of Fleet Foxes (Seattle), The Shins (Portland), and Oasis (London). In this Golden age of indie, this seems to be a guaranteed recipe for success. There self titled album has been hailed as a success, due mostly to the single Babies Don’t Like Blue Anymore, a track which is described as a track that hits you with a nostalgic rock feeling similar to that of Sam Roberts (Montreal) music. Yukon Blonde is on the rise and everyone can see it.
