I had the chance to see Canary Girls open for Yellow Ostrich in early March, when I was first hearing people talking about how they were the best new local electro-pop group, before they had even officially released anything. I remained skeptical as they took the stage, as I do with most new local acts that I've never heard, but when they went into their title track, “Everything Is Changing”, off their new album, I was hooked and swiftly became a head-bopping disciple. And while many of the tracks from the LP have been available online for some time, this four piece outfit, only just having formed last October, will officially release their first collection Everything Is Changing, tonight at Mohawk Place. Their sound is reminiscent of Talking Heads on tracks like “Emperors” and Washed Out on “Night Court”. Go have a listen to the entire thing at the band's website, but don’t forget to come out at 7 tonight for opening act Early Attic, another local electro-indie gem.

An even greater reason to attend is not only to support the talent of great local musicians, but also to support the efforts of great local humanitarians in that this CD release show will also double as a benefit concert for the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter. All door money will go directly to the shelter, and there will be prize baskets, which were donated by local businesses, being auctioned off as well to support the shelter. Plus, Canary Girls are giving their CD to you for free! Check out the Facebook event page for more details. The show is at 7, $10 at the door. Bring a friend!
