Said The Whale with Special Guest Van El and a Solo Set by Noah from Runner at The Satellite! Said The Whale’s music is pure West Coast. There’s rich harmonies drawn from California pop, crunchy guitars rooted in the lineage of Pacific Northwest indie rock, and naturalistic lyrics inspired by their hometown of Vancouver. Having spent a more than a decade together, the JUNO Award-winning trio have perfected a big-hearted sound that’s warmly organic and filled with pop hooks.
