Friday, November 19, 2010Hedged at The Rock Pile Bar (Nov. 12th) - an interview by Charmaine Santos
Despite the heavy fog that shrouded Etobicoke’s sullen evening sky, the hushed streets were revived as the roads trembled from the colossal reverb that echoed through the walls of The Rock Pile Bar on Dundas Street West. The cause: Saskatchewan’s own Hedged demonstrating that their music cannot be contained in small spaces. It seems fitting then that the small city brothers who formed Hedged, Colton and Cheston Schultz (Ches), would pack their gear, leave Saskatoon behind in their tracks, and move to the big city of Toronto.
Hedged’s 13-track debut album, Serving Time, has been hailed by Canadian and international admirers since its ‘08 release, and with new tracks soon to be released as an EP, the band is ready to once again give their fans more music to rock out to. This time, however, they’re emerging with a greater rumble as they welcome Calgary’s own Kadie Ziemski (Kez) as their new drummer. With the support of family and friends, Hedged aspires to thrive on a solid foundation sustained by an unwavering familial support and a camaraderie deepened by their love for music. Hedged’s music will undoubtedly proliferate the music scene as they continue to conquer each stage to cross their paths. This young band is only at its beginning, and their pursuit for fame is unrelenting.
Hedged will be performing at Toronto’s El Mocambo on November 25, 2010. Doors open at 8pm, and the show begins at 9pm with a $5 cover charge.
