Wax Mannequin + The Kettle Black

Wax Mannequin
https://waxmannequin.bandzoogle.com/home

Wax Mannequin's music veers from psych folk and art punk to absurdist metal, churning with dark satire. Unsettling imagery and ambitious, hook-laden musicality frame a steady questioning of identity, politics and the strangeness of being. Wax has released 8 records and has appeared on thousands to pub, gallery and festival stages worldwide.

The Kettle Black

Solo project of Nick Johannes, the Kettle Black is heavy prog punk wrapped in a compelling (and sometimes harrowing) spectacle of DIY ingenuity -- think No Means No meets Neil Young (if Neil was chained to confounding machines). Between 2004 to 2011 he toured Canada countless times. Since then he has been running a studio, a strange music venue and plotting his inevitable return.
