The Canrock institution that’s led by frontman Jose Miguel Contreras and that has had more members come through its doors than a Costco on a Sunday — including Feist, who is no longer in the band and not, I repeat, NOT performing at this year’s Sled Island — are always a crowd-pleaser. They’re just a great, straight-up guitar pop-rock band, the catchy songs delivered without pretense, and perfect for any Friday night. (If you can’t make it out to their show, listen to a live session on CJSW 90.9 FM at 3 p.m.)
