On Saturday August 31, The Wesleys stepped out to play their largest stage to date in front of an amped up crowd. The band quickly drew new fans as the crowd started to move along to the band’s uniquely satisfying brand of garage/ Jangle / Pop!

The Wesleys kicked things off with the one-two punch of Fucked Up and 25 from the band’s fantastic S/T debut album ( ahem) out now via Petit Village Records (just click on the shop button),

The crowd succumbed to, and was charmed by Henry Girard and William D’amours’ intertwining serpentine guitar jangles, while drummer Pablo Garcia Gaubeca- Rejon and bassist Quentin Chisholm demonstrated that they might be the best rhythm section going. Pablo’s look is just as radical as his time keeping, while Chisolm’s baselines essentially act as a third lead guitar and are untouchable.

The set sounded fantastic in a larger venue, the Velvet Underground meets Pavement sound of their hits like A Lot To Lose, Radio Circus and Better Believe It, sounded amped up to meet the volumous space of Le Paramount (pun intended). The Wesleys played a new, as yet to be titled song that has been described as early R.E.M. meets the Oh Sees and sounds like heaven to these ears. The Wesleys are continually upping the game claiming their own corner. It’s official, The Wesleys have ditched underdog status. A larger audience awaits them.
