Meadowlark Five: Review & Video

Photo by Ming Wu

When I first listened to Meadowlark Lemon’s record Twists my thoughts were scattered. There were moments I was thinking Godspeed You Black Emperor meets the Decemberists, and some other times I was blown away by their capabilities of painting an abstract portrait with the semblance of music. The two piece was named after the “clown prince” of the Harlem Globetrotters and stands as the cardinal inspiration behind Meadowlark Five.

On Thursday, just before the full band stopped by for an intimate acoustic set they were involved in a minor car accident due to snowy weather, but they brushed that off their shoulders and performed seamlessly. Meadowlark Five displays a vulnerable eagerness that asserts the continued growth of the band, and a certain willingness to embrace all areas of the creative velocity of a six piece rock band.

Members include:

Clayton Drake (Keyboards, Vocals)

Jonathan Danyliw (Guitar, Vocals, Bass)

Paul Loewenbery (Bass, Vocals, Keyboard)

Matthew Beech (Guitar, Vocals)

Danica Guenette (Vocals)

Steph Duchesne (Drums)
