The place to be on Saturday is Zaphod’s, where indie-rock supergroup TUNS, made up of Sloan’s Chris Murphy, Matt Murphy (Super Friends, Flashing Lights) and Mike O’Neill (Inbreds), is throwing a concert party with East Coast exuberance. The band is a passion project formed by musicians to write what they adore: fresh originals that borrow from their favourite parts of music, from Beatles-esque harmonies to power-pop hooks and classic Canadian, guitar-heavy rock: “We made an album that was built around our love for singing and singing together,” said Matt Murphy.
The self-titled album — TUNS is pronounced tonnes, for those wondering — is a collection of imminent good-time classics that are easy to enjoy live even when heard for the first time. Of course, the sheer joy the band gets from playing to an audience helps; Murphy may have said something about plans to “destroy the stage” (not literally) at the Ottawa show.
