At Boots Graham of Boots and the Hoots’ recommendation, I took in an overly loud show from two of Red Deer’s best bands at the Slice, June 29 — Conniferous and the duo St. Groove.
I arrived in the middle of the set from indie rock trio Conniferous, who were sharing drummer Coltan Shell with the duo St. Groove.
Conniferous drew heavily from the well of U2 and Radiohead, playing appealing, ambient indie-rock. They detuned for their last song.
St . Groove, on the other hand, playing as a duo with guitarist Mitchell Chase and drummer Coltan Shell, played a boisterous set of scrappy, blues based rock tinged with punk along the lines of the White Stripes.
