Kiwi Jr

Canadian band Kiwi Jr. stops in Paris to present its melodic and catchy indie rock. An opportunity to discover their unique universe on the Hasard Ludique stage.

Originating from Toronto, Kiwi Jr. quickly established itself as a rising figure in the Canadian indie rock scene. Formed in the mid-2010s, the quartet comprises Jeremy Gaudet on vocals, Brian Murphy on guitar, Mike Walker on bass and Brohan Moore on drums. Their music is characterised by catchy melodies, jangly guitars and often narrative lyrics tinged with deadpan humour, sometimes evoking Pavement or The Feelies through their both relaxed and sophisticated approach.

The band has built a coherent and appreciated discography, notably with albums like "Football Money" (2019) and "Cooler Returns" (2021). These releases were praised for their freshness and ability to create pop-rock anthems that stick in your head. Kiwi Jr. excels at transforming everyday observations into catchy songs, where careful arrangements always serve melody and raw indie rock energy. Their tracks distinguish themselves through intelligent writing and structures which, while familiar, always reserve some surprises.

On stage, Kiwi Jr. is renowned for its communicative energy and ability to recreate the atmosphere of their recordings with heightened intensity. Their performances are often described as dynamic and engaging, transforming each concert into a live and direct experience. This Paris performance, in the intimacy of Le Hasard Ludique, offers a privileged opportunity to immerse yourself in their universe and appreciate the finesse of their writing and effectiveness of their live arrangements. It's a chance to see a band that, while belonging to an indie rock tradition, brings its own touch of modernity and originality.
