We Love is a rocktronic unit that injects bangin’ dancefloor sensibilities, roguish rock riffs, new wave leanings and soulful vocal conviction into Mantras. Call-to-actions. Intimate headspace declarations.
We’re human. We love. Connect the dots. Luxe chanteuse Nicole Manes touches down in Toronto from Vancouver via Santiago. While collaborating with other artists she meets composer and beat-smith Arthur Yeung, a Hong Kong transplant with a stint in Montreal banked in his pocket. The two bond over all things pre-millennial UK. Months later, Arthur invites Nicole to join him onstage during a solo performance where he’s accompanied by friend and ex-bandmate Jake Bros - representing Krakow - on bass. Following this show, Arthur and Nicole spend the next 6 months trading songs and quarter-life musings. Jake joins the conversation. His hypnotic, driving basslines unite a salvo of punchy beats, sparkling guitars, slicing synths and explosive vocal stylings to form a wholly rocktronic sound. Favourites including Massive Attack, Madonna, Everything But the Girl, Joy Division and Depeche Mode get tossed into the beat blender along with electronic-dabbling rockers like PWEI, The Cult and U2.
We Love unleash their intense live chemistry across galleries, lounges, festivals and stages that have included the legendary Horseshoe Tavern, where the band cemented its Valentine’s Day gig tradition.
We Love’s very first recordings were mixed during a blistering heat wave and dubbed The Sauna Sessions. Among the collection was an early incarnation of “Shake Up (Night People)†that was included on The Dude Pit 2006 compilation CD. We Love has just independently released its debut disc, Low Noon E.P., featuring the anthem “Shake Up†and crowd-riling “Stay (A Little Conversation).â€
