| Statue Park |
Statue Park is a Montreal-based band formed by road-worn musicians. They make music by introducing different sounds to each and letting them eat each other alive: drums, laptops, guitars, old synths and amps, tape machines, the odd wind instrument and voices too; anything that can make sound is worth using. Formed from the ashes of other successful Montreal acts (Chinatown, Le Husky, and more) Statue Park are a band you need to experience live for yourself.
