Toronto’s cult-veteran quartet Luge weave danceability through their ceaseless maelstrom of genre denial. Each member brings their own taste and timbre to the table where ‘what-if’ chops song structure into a malleable goop still wriggling with ear-worming riffs. Their adolescent blend of curiosity and cheek holds true since Luge's inception in 2015. They continue to dive into unmapped sonic territory, leaving no inspiration untapped and with the chops to pull it off. Their sound knows no bounds, fearing only a co-worker uttering the unholy, ‘what kind of music do you play?’
Luca Caruso-Moro’s drumming and Cameron Fraser’s bassing are the broth that binds Luge’s infinite spice-blend, locking into gridded topography throwing heavy, complex grooves straight at your head. Tobias Hart’s fizzing guitar freaks over the dance virus in a treble-drenched click-matrix that occasionally breaks into lucidity only long enough to bring you the riffs you need and the lines to lead. Finally, in this chaos, Kaiva Gotham arrives just in time to tame those discordant rhythms that threaten to doppler into nothing. Gotham brings hooks that rip flesh. Her voice and synth both hold the key to Luge’s puzzle box, pray she allows you a glimpse of its answer. Glimpse it loud if you can.
Luge has toured the DIY scenes of Canada and the United States, filling up your local house venues and dive bars with a live performance that The Ontarion aptly describes as “controlled chaos”. Notable appearances include opening for acts like Deerhoof, Lightning Bolt, Water From Your Eyes, Otoboke Beaver, Tropical Fuck Storm, Guerrilla Toss, Palm, and Model/Actriz. Luge's latest release ‘make miarklez irlz’ (2026) is their fourth full-length album.
Catch them Live in Tallinn, on Sunday 6th of September.
