Lives Like Skyscrapers
at LIVE! on Elgin
With The Ethics, & Jon Cohen Experimental
Jon Cohen Experimental:
Jon Cohen Ex is like if your favorite grade school collage art project came to life and started a one-man band. This Montreal troubadour’s tunes are a chaotic cocktail of dance, electro, grunge and noise. Whether it’s the E.L.O meets 90’s vibes or just straight-up experimental madness, Jon’s tracks offer a sultry escape from your own nagging self. Buckle up; it's a rollercoaster of sound that’s equal parts beguiling art rock on-the-spot inventions and melodic hooks that promise a sultry escape from those pesky workaday hang-ups.

The Ethics:
The Ethics are an Ottawa rock band crafting beauty from longing since 2005. Members Kevin Hersak, Jeff Gleeson, Matt Godin, Jonathan Pearce and Ben Wilson bring their considerable combined pedigree to lush, expansive sounds that blur the lines between post-rock, ambient pop and folk. Their new album, Division Street, was self-released in 2024 and is available on all streaming platforms.

Lives Like Skyscrapers:
What started as a musical collaboration to endure the dark days of the pandemic quickly took shape as a viable project, with Lives Like Skyscrapers first performing live in early 2022. Lyrically, Ryan Neeb tells stories of grief, anguish, love and passion in an abstract manner. Lives Like Skyscrapers instrumentation delivers undertones of hope and optimism, forging intricate soundscapes and explosive walls of sound.
