Winnipeg's KEN mode released one of Exclaim!'s best albums of 2022 with NULL and proceeded to tear up the Prairies and put a fresh spin on classic noise in Toronto. Now, it's the West Coast's turn — the quartet are hitting the road with screamo trio Frail Body, starting with a lone Canadian stop in Vancouver.
The band will kick off their first tour dates of the year with a pummelling performance at the Cobalt on March 10. Then, they'll venture across the border to Seattle and beyond, ending with a show in Denver on March 20.
"We haven't had a chance to get down to California or the South West section of the US in almost eight years, so this one is a long time coming," guitarist/vocalist Jesse Matthewson said in a release. "Even the PNW has been 4 years. We had so much fun doing the thing with Frail Body last fall, we decided to do it again! It's cold where both of us are from, so we figured, let's go somewhere warm together!"
