Daps Records is an independent label based in Toronto that is getting some warranted attention in anticipation of the 2012 NXNE conference. Headed by members of the band HOODED FANG, Daniel Lee and April Aliermo and Artist Manager Ian Chai, the label features DIY artists from Toronto and beyond who are on the cusp of breaking out. At this years' NXNE festival, the label will have a showcase night on Friday June, 15th at Sneaky Dee's 431 college st. west Toronto, ON. The event will feature these bands:
ODONIS ODONIS (Toronto) - industrial low-fi surf-gaze "From melodic and ethereal to brash and relentless, Odonis Odonis is the metaphysical equivalent of your favourite mixtape." -Odonis Odonis Project. The integral cog of the Tdot DIY musical underworld.
PHÈDRE (Monte Carlo, Monaco) -lovers spit future pop. This trio of mystery claims to have been bred out of a "three day three-some binge of wine, fish, and recording." They sound as if transported from the ancient world to the present in some sort of sexual ritual.
Along with:
BETA FRONTIERS, HELLALUYA, CARTOONS, HUSSY, and TIMES NEUE ROMAN
All of whom you can check out on their individual sites or below on the DAPS RECORDS Sampler Vol. 1:
The event begins at 7pm and is FREE with your NXNE pass, otherwise it's $15/19+. Sneaky Dee's 431 College St. West. Toronto, ON.
