21+ event w/ valid ID at Soda Bar - San Diego. Afternoon Bike Ride is an eclectic indie trio based in Montreal and composed of Lia Kurihara, Éloi Le Blanc-Ringuette and David Tanton. It’s an audio diary of what they know will be their most cherished memories. They’ve released a series of cohesive projects where field recordings blend with ambient, folk, and pop, including their 2021 EP Skipping Stones, their acclaimed self-titled debut LP of the same year, and their acclaimed 2023 LP Glossover. The three musicians work more and more tightly as a trio with each offering, splitting roles on guitar, vocals, percussion, and even mixing English and French. Their collaboration has led them into multiple US and Canadian tours including performances at Montreal’s Jazz Fest, Guelph’s Jazz Fest, Pop! Montreal, M for Montreal, and opening for one of the biggest names in folk, Novo Amor, at MTelus in Montreal and History in Toronto. Their third record, titled Running With Scissors, is a poignant, genre-blurring exploration of life’s most tender and tumultuous moments. Across the twelve tracks, raw, emotional acoustic elements are fused with subtle electronic layers and indie rock grunge, creating a textured blend that feels as vast and intimate as the album’s themes. It’s an immersive record that shifts perspectives, from the micro to the macro, zooming out to explore the universe and zooming in on the personal experiences that define their lives.
