St. John’s , Newfoundland born, Toronto based indie rock/ pop band Repartee have a, well , repartee with Lethbridge they plan to share when they return to open for USS at Pulse, Feb. 6.
“The last time we were there we were playing with the Gay ’90s and Zerbin. It was a Monday night and it was full,” related lead singer Meg Warren.
“ It was a great feeling to go to a city you have never been to before and have a show like that. It is a really nice surprise,” she enthused.
She is excited to return to Lethbridge with their new CD “ All Lit Up” which they released in April, 2016.
“It took us two years to release the album. We worked on the songs a lot before we released it. We‘re really proud of it,” she said.
She noted the first single “ Duke” has become a crowd favourite.
“We find when we play it, if people don’t know us, they know that song, but they don’t recognize it as our song, so it is really fun to see that ” she said.
Repartee are looking forward to touring with USS.
They have an exciting year ahead including the USS tour.
“ We’re also hoping to play some big summer festivals,” she said.
In the meantime they are writing a lot of new music in their adopted home of Toronto.
“We’ve all been living there for almost a year. It’s a so different from St. John’s. I love it. It’s awesome, she enthused.
They will be playing the new album in Lethbridge, but won’t be playing any new songs.
“No, they’re not quite ready yet, they’re still in the demo stages,” she said.
Repartee play Pulse with USS, Feb. 6 at 9 p.m.. Tickets are $20.
