I'd been meaning to see the Bruce Peninsula a few times this Summer but hadn't gotten the chance till now. Comprised of a slew of Toronto musicians who split their time amongst numerous other gigs (how novel!), Bruce Peninsula stood out for how they utilized most of them - rather than hand everyone a guitar and jam it out, the five ladies in the band acted as a choir, though not of angels - more like ghosts. When combined with the raw field holler of bandleader Neil Haverty, they evoked a blend of deep gospel and blues and Southern Gothic that was unexpected and mesmerizing. They're working at committing their songs to wire recorder and play next at the Tranzac on September 5.
