See Space Queen return to Kelowna for the first time since their mythical gig atop a mountain – their festival closing set at Tune it Down, Turn it Up festival!
This time they’re hitting the stage at Runaways Lounge, with local band Killer Boots, Man!
Space Queen is a stoner rock power trio comprised of Jenna Earle (guitar/vocals), Karli MacIntosh (drums/vocals) and Seah Maister (bass/keys/vocals). Space Queen’s signature haunting vocal harmonies are sent soaring over a cosmic canvas of neo-psychedelic rock. Driving beats from MacIntosh provide an anchor for Earle’s heavy distortion and fuzzy 70s-style riffs, while Maister keeps everything grounded on bass, or shoots beyond the stratosphere with spacey synths and intergalactic organ. The band released their debut EP in 2020 which garnered a ton of favourable press and college radio play, including landing on the earshot charts. Space Queen was featured on Nardwuar The Human Serviette’s radio show for a month leading up to their EP release. Space Queen has thrived in 2021-2022 from opening for bands such as Blackwater Holylight, The Well, RIP, Black Mastiff and Molten Lava, as well as headlining Tune it down, Turn it up Festival and playing virtual editions of Massif Festival and Fallen Fest. SQ’s sophomore EP will be released in the fall of 2022, as well as a single mixed by Desert Rock legend Dave Catching of Rancho De La Luna Studio in California. With many plans in the works, These next few years are shaping up to be busy ones!
