Artist Bio:
Picture Devo. Now picture Devo, but with David Bowie as the singer. Now picture Devo with Bowie, but
they’re all sporting Talking Heads suits and influences. Now picture a squarehead…and you might just begin to get the feel for the music of Toronto’s SLAVE to the SQUAREwave. Brought together in 1999 at a rave, where singer Colin Troy and keyboardist Rob Stuart were each playing solo sets, SLAVE to the SQUAREwave was born out of a mutual admiration for the bands mentioned above…… a penchant for fat, funky bass lines…. that infectious retro dance beat and a flare for the dramatic on stage. Made complete through the addition of Andrew Starr (guitar) and Doug Lea (drums), mere words cannot describe the experience of their energetic live shows, where Troy easily takes the title of the most riveting front man to emerge in recent years!
Radio Strategy:
New single “New York’s A Go-Go” has just been serviced to CHR and Hot AC Radio stations nation wide. We have helped to secure a Live 88.5 Ottawa “Live Lounge” showcase for the artist, and will be targeting interviews and additional promo opportunities over the course of the campaign.
