KPP Concerts Presents: Kristian North Live at The Mansion

Kristian North has arrived at the jarring, hi-fi perimeter of 80s excess. The former Babysitter frontman’s second album, Passion Play, is the terminus for a career exhausted by the fringes of garage punk. Trading his road-worn guitar for digital synths and analogue drum machines, North’s solo efforts have been anchored by his acerbic, yet heartfelt lyrics, his songs playing like short stories with their quaint confessions, cloaked desires and mythical references. Over the years, North toured the U.S., Canada and Europe, all the while sharing the stage with the likes of The Sadies, Daniel Romano, and Wolf Parade, and taking part in festivals such as POP Montreal, NXNE and Sled Island. After promoting his debut effort, Kristian North went back in the studio in 2019 to work on his sophomore full-length, Passion Play, released on April 30, 2021 via Mothland. Advance tickets are $10 each and are available for purchase online at TicketScene here. Presented with support from Ontario Arts Council, The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent On Recordings (FACTOR), Kingston Arts Council, Steam Whistle Brewing
