The Besnard Lakes, Dirty on Purpose
Friday July 20, 2007 at 8:00pm
Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University
1871 North High Street
Columbus, Ohio 43210 Get Directions
"These are explosive epics that don't get tired…a best of '07 contender."--NOW

This savvy six-piece band are poised to take off, based on the buzz they generated at this year's SXSW Festival in Austin and the strength of their latest release, even though its title--The Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse--plays on their underdog position in the Montreal indie rock pantheon led by The Arcade Fire.

Singer/guitarist Jace Lasek's winning update of classic space-rock grooves and the band's soaring harmonies coupled with atmospheric contemporary riffs are winning increasing numbers of fans who can't get enough the interstellar overdrive sound. In this Beach Boys-meet-Sigur Ros effect, "each element creates a lingering solar eclipse and eternal bonfire" (Austin Chronicle).
