Uncle Strut Home At Last Tour
at LIVE! on Elgin
with special guest Moondoggy
Uncle Strut:In a short amount of time, Vancouver-based indie band Uncle Strut have turned their dive bar beginnings into sellout headlining shows at legendary venues like their hometown’s Hollywood Theatre, and have shared stages with acclaimed acts such as the Goo Goo Dolls, Baby Jake, and George Thorogood. Over the last four years, singer/guitarist Tyson McNamara, bassist Simon Tejani, and drummer Quincy Flowers have honed their signature blend of surf-infused indie pop, evoking the hazy sun-soaked nostalgia of the '70s. With the recent addition of guitarist Jasper Matthias, the band is kicking off 2025 with the anticipated announcement of their debut album, and an upcoming tour across Canada. Home At Last, Uncle Strut’s first full-length album, seamlessly combines the easygoing charm of Australian surf rock with a deep respect for rock and pop traditions. The album’s playful yet sincere energy draws comparisons to Spacey Jane and Ocean Alley, whilst channeling the spirit of late '60s psychedelia. Influences from The Doors’ mystical allure and The Beach Boys’ kaleidoscopic vision are ever-present, making Home At Last a captivating listen. Uncle Strut will release Home At Last on May 16th, and in celebration will embark on a tour across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec in support of their first single, Waiting For You.
Moondoggy: Formed in Collingwood Ontario in 2019, Moondoggy got their start playing house parties and making bedroom recordings of their earliest songs. As of 2020, the band would relocate to Toronto where they would spend the next three years honing their live performance, and maturing into the band you see today. Consisting of brothers Jakob Matanowitsch (vocals), and Ben Matanowitsch (saxophone/acoustic guitar), alongside members Jonny Contini (lead guitar), and Victor Carrillo (drums), the band has cultivated an imagery and sound that is glued together by years of development as a group.
