Have you ever consistently stayed up far too late and consequently slept, for weeks at a time, until the late afternoon. For many of you this is probably known quite simply as the undergrad schedule. For anyone that’s over twenty five this is probably known as the recipe for typical hangover symptoms without ever touching a drop of alcohol. Fortunately, regardless of your wealth or lack thereof of rem cycles, I have the perfect music for this Wednesday afternoon.
The Mission District is a six piece band from the beautiful city of Montreal {easily one of my favorite of the Canadian cities - although I have yet to tour Vancouver}. They play a type of music that one could easily say is influenced {sometimes heavily} by the success of The Killers. These boys set themselves apart from the plethora of copy cat bands touring the great plains by putting their own twist on what amounts to beautiful synth/guitar anthem rock, filled with soaring melodies and just enough happiness to keep your fingers reaching to turn this music up.

mp3 : The Mission District - Youth Games
Both of these tracks hail from their recently released LP called Youth Games (iTunes). I love Canadian bands.

I saw these guys in Glasgow recently when they supported Simple Plan. I’ve fallen in love with them quite simply. I met them after the gig, they are the sweetest guys ever!
