The Wooden Stars
Bio
"...The Wooden Stars are a surprisingly natural fusion of unlikely influences, from XTC and The Clash to George Brassens and James Blood Ulmer. Setting strong, plaintive melodies against hints of the jarring dissonance and abstraction into which the songs occasionally collapse, the band has gradually attracted a diehard, loyal fanbase that includes some of Canada's finest musicians, inclusing Arcade Fire, Julie Doiron and Hawksley Workman."
