Fuck it, we’re playing 7 degrees of Gaven Dianda until someone gets sick of it and posts something else :)
Here’s some great stuff from Toronto, ON’s The Polite Society! From this Wavelength Music article:
Polite Society originally was known as Hollow Earth, back when Gaven Dianda (also of Flashing Lights) and Amy Bowles (of Pony da Look), got things started with Jim Bravo, Sean Kennedy (Blood Ceremony) and Christopher Norman. When Dianda and, later, Bowles left to pursue their other artistic interests, James Scott (of Heavy Ethics) joined in, as did Paul Kehayas.
The current lineup — Scott, Kehayas, Bravo and Norman — have played under the name of Polite Society for about a year, timed with the release of their first album, self-titled as Polite Society.
The album is a proggy, psychedelic journey with peaks and valleys that will have listeners picking up notes of Bowie, Skip Bifferty, maybe a little bit of the Animals and the Zombies with a touch of Mick Ronson’s wizardry.
