Mr. Something Something October 16 The Shrine 10PM
Since 2003, Mr. Something Something have been exploring new musical territory with their unique mix of pop, jazz and West African rhythms. On Shine Your Face, the band's fourth album, the Toronto-based collective of dancefloor activists look for new ways to fuse the modality and improvisations of jazz with danceable poly-rhythms, strong melodies and intelligent lyrics, all in order to make dancers think and thinkers dance.
The band's music has been described as "a soundtrack to a joyful revolution"; irresistible rhythms and interactive shows have long served as a vehicle for social justice & environmental activism, and recently the band has taken audience participation to a whole new level with its SoundCycle - Canada’s first bicycle powered
Mr. Something Something's highly energized, political, funny and unpredictable live shows have earned the band an extremely loyal following and a reputation among audiences and critics alike as an act not to be missed. In October, select American audiences will finally get a chance to see what all the fuss is about as the band is scheduled for six US engagements, including a stop at The Shrine in New York City.
