PipeDown! provides an accessible venue for emerging artists to perform indie and/or rock music to audiences with similar tastes.

Pindles is a mix of psychedelic, folk & 90s rock with a soaring rhythm section, transcendent guitars and enchanting melodies - an experience you won't soon forget!

From St. Catharines Ontario, like many great bands Pindles emerged out of a spontaneous jam session between four friends and their love of music, but has evolved through years of dedication and hard work. A four piece band, their sound is a engaging blend of Canadian songwriting weaved together with intricate musicianship.

Comprised of Matt Meaghar, Chris Sipos, Justin Blake, and Graham Morley, all the bandmates come to Pindles with a wide range of backgrounds and passions for music. Matt, our lead vocalist is a triple thread - singer, songwriter and guitar player extraordinaire! Chris, the lead guitar and supporting vocalist, while shredding the stage keeps jokes and joy, both on and off-stage. Justin, the unsuspecting and often underestimated bass player roots the imagination and excitement of Pindles of into an inspired movement of sound. And on drums, Graham is a drum machine in human form, bringing the backbeat and rhythm.

Pindles has played local showcases, in St. Catharines and cities throughout Ontario, from Windsor to Sault Ste. Marie. Long-time regulars on the festival scenes, some of our favourite highlights come from The Heat off Front Street Festival in Sarnia, the newly launched Cicadafest, and our hometown favourite, the In the Soil Arts Festival.

The formula of a four piece band isn't new, but Pindles is one of those bands whose sound takes you back to a time in your life when there was something in the air, something special, something real and honest to what is happening.

With special guests

Hyness:
Hyness are a four-piece jangle-pop alternative rock group based in Kitchener/Toronto. Inspired by the likes of guitar-centric bands such as The Pixies, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Teenage Fanclub, as well as the delicate vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Byrds and The Everly Brothers, Hyness blends these elements to create dissonant sonic landscapes. Their debut “The End of Music,” released in 2018, presents their sound in a swift four-song EP with lead single “Choke” appearing on national campus charts. Since the EP, the band has released a series of singles on vinyl and cassette.
