Don’t call it a supergroup: TUNS talent shines without resting on members’ prior notoriety.
by Colin Gallant, Jarrett Edmund, Levi Manchak and Brittany Rudyk
We took a break to pop into Rocky Mountain Ice House to see TUNS, side project of Sloan’s Chris Murphy. Although the music itself was basic feel good Canadian rock, Murphy’s personality shined, making quick and clever comments about the DJ’s choice to play Sloan before their set and other little quips. The show was packed with Sloan nerds, nervously clamoring for Murphy’s attention; but not in an obnoxious manner. The endearment of serious fans in the audience fed into TUNS’ performance, energizing those of us who may have been feeling sluggish from a weekend of festivities. That, and their cover of “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” were welcome ways to close the fifth year of the festival.
