Exploding into the continent this October, the Montreal-based psy-folksters will be treating the good folk at Perth’s One Movement Festival and indoctrinating the salivating masses with a string of special guest appearances alongside Jeff Martin, Elliott Brood and The Trews.
Already ingrained into psyche of key Canadian tastemakers Final Flash can mark |
among their achievements well-recieved shows at CMW, Pop Montreal, the Whistler Canadian Music Showcase, as well as Transmission.
The band once again received great reviews from music supervisors and media for their shows at both CMW and SXSW in March 2009, as well as NXNE where they were approached by EMI adding to the buzz, which continues to gain momentum surrounding this thrilling young band.
Final Flash toured China in April-May of 2009 as part of TRANSMIT-China. The tour was such a success that the band has already been invited back to both China and Japan and other Asian festivals in 2010. They also made a strong impression at international showcase event M for Montreal in November 2009, leading to an invitation to The Great Escape and a 12-day UK tour in May 2010.
The band’s debut album ‘Homeless’ was produced by Jace Lasek (Besnard Lakes) and will see the light of day here in Australia when it hit stores this October 2010.
