THE GRIEVOUS ANGELS ARE BACK ON THE ROAD
The Grievous Angels have covered a lot of ground over their three decades – 10 albums, two Juno nominations and countless gigs played. They are finishing the new album Revolution. It is a soundtrack of resistance in an age of uncertainty.
The Angels sound is built around the gritty songwriting of band leader Charlie Angus. His songs capture the tragic beauty of life in Canada’s northern blue collar outposts.
The Edmonton Journal once said that Angus sings “flatter than a dirt road in Saskatchewan.” But they meant it as a compliment. They added that “one day his songs will rank up there with Ian Tyson, Stan Rogers and Gordon Lighftoot.”
The Grievous Angels is a driving six piece band with an array of instruments and styles. Their single Barcelona I’ll Be Free has been called an “intensely political” anthem for a time of growing wage insecurity and class resistance.
This is a band with a kick ass live show. They also can tell unique stories of our vast country having played picket lines, ducked bottles in biker bars and acted as the square dance band for a gathering of residential school survivors on the James Bay coast.
The Angels show up ready to play. They leave nothing in the tank by the time they are done. Theirs is a show that people remember.
