 Boats play music songs in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada with lyrics about dismemberment (the good kind), excellent posture, and orthodontic surgery. A junky indie-pop band with high-end hopes but low-end equipment (total net worth of keyboard section: $40, all thrift store finds), Mat Klachefsky’s bizarre vocal chords mixed with his “infectiously catchy” pop songs and boundless energy have been freaking out audiences ever since they released their critically acclaimed first album "Intercontinental Champion" to local audiences in October 2007. Since then they have embarked on four Canadian tours, played a packed houses at SXSW, NXNE, Pop Montreal, WCMA's and Sled Island, and charted solidly all across Canada.

 

Boats just finished recording their 2nd full length album "Cannonballs, Cannonballs" which will be released in May.

This album will take you to the beautiful bizarre world where; kids protect their summer camp from a fake mustache tree, TV shows are broadcast on the sides of buildings and Olympic ski jumpers dot the horizon. Including a duet about a fictional performing team: Smokestack who has a hole in his body; and Lucy who thinks she will be the mother of a flock of birds (but won't) (Smokestack & Lucy's Magnificent Cabaret) They are excited to take the rest of the universe to their world of complete, beautiful nonsense again.

Over the years there has been a rotating cast of Winnipeg musicians who have played in Boats, but the current version has a pack of Winnipeg all-stars surrounding singer-songwriter Mat Klachefsky. These can include, but are not limited to, members of The Western States, The Paperbacks, Half Court Prayer, The Details, The Paperbacks, Oldfolks Home, and Transistor Sound & Lighting Co.

Your feeling is waking up and you feel favor you’re living from a location of plenitude, no rarity anyone more. Like a kid in a bonbon store, you are excited by all the possibilities you penetrate. In fact, you see so darn many possibilities it’s a dare to mention “No!” or “Not immediately, after.” It’s challenging to see where to put your time and vigor. As a result, you’ve become somewhat indecisive because you hate to mow off your adoptions.Audi A5 Parts Your feeling is waking up and you feel favor you’re living from a location of plenitude, no rarity anyone more.
