The Multitudes of Government Town

/in /by

If Government Town contains multitudes, it might in part be because there’s just a lot of them. The Regina band boasts eight members, which might a scene high for a rock band at the moment.

What are they doing with violin, mandolin, guitars, and all the rest? Any number of things. You might be able to fit the lot of them under the wide umbrella of rock music, but within that, you get touches of traditional folk, folk-rock, country, pop, indie-rock, alt-rock, and more.

They’ve got material out there for your sampling needs. Their second album, the appropriately-titled II, came out in 2014 and is a good roundup of where the band’s at.

Government Town are in the Exchange on Friday, June 19 with Josh Gonzales. Doors at 7 p.m. Show at 8 p.m. $5 at the door. All ages and licensed.
