While celebrating the release of their latest album, indie-rockers Yukon Blonde will make three Vancouver Island stops during a province-wide tour.
The Vancouver-based group released Shuggie in October and will start a B.C. tour on Thursday, Jan. 25, in Vancouver and end it on Sunday, Jan. 28, at the Queen’s in Nanaimo.
According to a release, Shuggie, the band’s first full-length album since the 2020 LP Vindicator, has been described as a hypnotic and hyper-compelling album that takes Yukon Blonde’s mastery of pop music in its many forms and anchors it in psychedelic synths, wiry guitar licks and bass lines, and a chorus of inviting voices.
