Live Show Reviews

Upon starting MOURN RECIF, I immediately told Yuri aka BOK SUNA that I wanted them to come up and play with us. So we did. And as HILLSBORO is on Softseed Music along with BOK SUNA, it was a no-brainer to ask them to join us for the two shows. Oh, and aaaaaaalso, Oliver from HILLSBORO drums for BOK SUNA now...so there's that. I literally got the BOK SUNA masters for their sophomore album today, and HILLSBORO has that new EP dropping in late August. Woooo baby what a time to be alive!!!


MOURN RECIF
These were our second and third shows, so we were stoked to finally get to the initial plan we had when we first started discussing playing shows and trying to play with Bok Suna. The Victoria show was very cool, and included a giant grate falling on Dave during "Slow Reign". Our set the next night on our home turf felt a bit better than the previous, so you've got an embedded song from that show, with another link underneath for the Vic show.

HILLSBORO
On the cusp of their new EP release we got our friends from Victoria to 1) help us out with said Vic show, and 2) play with us in Duncan. These guys play indie/shoegaze/alternative rock and are super chill, with additional hangs being had...there might even be a new band in the works! Shout out screamo.

BOK SUNA
Yuri is magnificent. BOK SUNA's recent EP + LP release on my label quickly became one of my favourites releases of 2023, and now she's back with a new album later this summer - this time on vinyl! Check out some new jams below, her live performance has a beautiful gravitational pull. I've even included the entire Victoria set a few embeds down.
