LOLAA, Akage No Anne
Handlebar is celebrating six wonderful years of amazing bands, brews, and partygoers (that's you!) And we've got a delicious, extra-special lineup of some of our favourites to celebrate. Some must remain secret for now, but we can't wait to announce their exciting presences. We can tell you about:
// LOLAA
“Lush warmth and relentless poptimism….Gloria Estefanesque vocal work set to revamped Bette Davis Eyes atmospherics.” - Luke Ottenhof, NOW Magazine
“The Spanish lyrics nestle right into the synth-heavy pop songs.” - Holly Gordon, CBC First Play
Fresh off the release of a Spanish-language version of their wondrous debut EP, sisters Lex Valentine and Nadia Valerie King (of Magneta Lane) are winning hearts worldwide with their catchy, contemplative synth-pop.

Inventive, exploratory synth-pop, the Toronto foursome is fresh off their finest release yet, the Good Cake EP. Their Bandcamp holds many treasures.
