THURSDAY 24 NOVEMBER
Trouw, 20.30, €15/€17 at door

Junior Boys return to Amsterdam for the second time this year, after their brief stint at Pitch Festival during summer. They’re renowned on the scene for their successful mix of electronica, techno and disco with an R’n’B influence thrown in, and this they Thursday hold court in the cavernous room at Trouw as they tour in support of their new album It’s All True.

The duo, originally from Hamilton, Ontario first formed in 1999, and have come on leaps and bounds since then. Their most recent offering draws influence from unexpected role models – Orson Welles and Carl Craig to name a few – and showcases their range of talents and ability. They’re not just two men and some synths you know.  It’s easy to get sucked in within minutes of the first listen – the slick synth-pop and expertly mixed beats are definitely worth the €15 cover and if you go early enough you’ll really get your money’s worth by catching the support Diamond Rings, another Canadian electro dude who’s one to watch.
