Standing in the sunshine of the Market Square, there was no better band to play in the afternoon heat than These Kids Wear Crowns. The six-piece power-pop group hailing from Chilliwack, BC were in full force despite the heat turning out energized tracks for forty minutes to a crowd of dedicated, primarily female, fans. It’s almost as if this band refuses to write or perform songs that can’t be lent to a crowd clap-a-long. Either way though the crowd ate it up, clapping and singing to songs like the group’s breakout “Break It Up” and the irresistible “Skeletons”. Sure, their rendition of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” would probably send Whitney into a blind fury, but the band made up for it with “New York State of Mind” which sounds disastrous, but somehow it wasn’t. Maybe it was the sunshine or the vibe a music festival brings, but These Kids Wear Crowns definitely delivered. More photos after the page jump!
