The 5th annual Budweiser New Music Fest Sudbury has just announced its 2016 lineup, which features MOTHER MOTHER, USS, AA Wallace, Golden Gate Graves & more. Budweiser New Music Fest 2016 will take place at Grace Hartman Amphitheatre (Bell Park), 900 Paris St, Sudbury, ON on Saturday September 17.
Direct support to Mother Mother is CASBY Award winning and JUNO-nominated alternative dance musical duo, Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker (USS). USS is best known for their single “Yin Yang,” from their Advanced Basics album that debuted at No. 21 on Canadian Modern Rock Charts. This song, the second single from the duo’s fourth album, is their biggest debut to date and is the follow-up to their highest charting song, the No. 4 Modern Rock hit “This Is The Best.” Upon release of Advanced Basics on Feb 11, 2014, the record quickly climbed to number 2 on iTunes Canada.
