Bio
Suuns have no doubt ingested a lot of art rock, the Montreal group's minimalist rhythms are equally informed by Joy Division, Suicide and Can, often wrapped in a noisy squall of droning guitars and pulsing synths. Add to this Ben Shemie's breathy, paranoid sing/speak, and there are times that it seems like Suuns are about to drive over a sonic cliff.
Has Performed With
Jerusalem In My Heart

Whether it was due to the relatively short time they had to play, the Mod Club welcomes club goers after 11, they ripped through songs from their three albums with one coming right after the other.

Like the album on which their set was based the music was not entirely congruent with either of artists' solo work but created a new sound that drew equally from their roots.
