CONCERT REVIEW: FIONN W/ AUDALEI AND ANTON SETH AT FOX CABARET - MARCH 24, 2023

Local folk-pop duo Fionn took over the stage at Vancouver’s beloved Fox Cabaret last Friday. Supported by openers Anton Seth and audalei, this show pushed the boundaries of genre, blending heartfelt lyrics with catchy melodies and energetic riffs. All three artists commanded the stage, captivating the audience from the very first song with the candor and verve of their storytelling.

Anton Seth kicked off the show with expert stage presence, using the entire available space to stroll and dance around in punk-business-casual attire. He connected with the crowd from the first moment and embodied the lyrics, immediately drawing us in to the dynamic energy on stage. Ian Perry rocked playful riffs and energetic solos on a snazzy blue guitar, underscored by Skylar Bartel’s sleek black bass, with Josh Ertman on the drums keeping everyone dancing. Anton’s vocal prowess supported the emotionality of his lyrics through sustained notes and catchy choruses alike. Their music is a blend of playfulness and angst, with Anton describing some songs as being trauma dumps and others as being more upbeat. Their setlist included “As Is,” a brand new song released that day; “Selfish,” described as being about a selfish asshole after a breakup; “Space Girl,” for which they invoked audience participation; an Allen Stone cover to close, which they characterized as bringing the classy vibes for the Fox Cabaret. After seven years in his previous band, Anton Seth has launched an extremely promising solo career and is more than capable of taking larger venues by storm.

audalei took the stage next, sparking interest right away with an eclectic mix of styles: vocalist audalei in a fishnet top and baggy ripped jeans, a laptop operated by a mysterious Mr. Gorilla in a head-to-toe gorilla suit, and guitarist Lucas in a classy button-up. audalei’s charisma and confidence on stage strikes a balance with the heartwrenching vulnerability of her lyrics, e.g. “you only love me when you’re wasted.” Bouncing around on stage, her light and playful energy felt comforting while her lyrics wove stories universally relatable and sometimes painful. Her earnest and passionate energy held our attention for every word. Between songs, when she wasn’t singing directly to our hearts, she told us she was trying her hand at stand-up. She filled the room with laughter, cracking jokes and giving wry shoutouts to alcohol and narcissists before launching into “sour candy jesus christ.” Other songs performed included “I don’t care,” which audalei described as less heartbreaking; “atleast my therapist thinks im cool,” which blew up on TikTok; “20 SOMETHiNG,” for which she encouraged audience participation; an ambitious cover of Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie,” a perfect fit for audalei’s smooth and vulnerable voice. In sum, watching audalei perform feels like a cathartic dance party in your living room with your best friends.

The show concluded with headliner Fionn. Sisters Alanna and Brianne filled the venue with powerful vocals, sometimes playing bass and guitar respectively and other times using a backing track. Cole supported on the drums with an energetic momentum. Though the sisters’ clothing styles contrasted, platform shoes matched their heights. Their voices melted together seamlessly into beautifully dynamic melodies. Neither commanded more presence than the other, but rather they highlighted each other, occupying the center of focus as a unit. They shifted between movement and stillness, reflecting the balance their music strikes between fierce power, playful celebration, and tender softness. Both have strong and versatile ranges, giving them the ability to adapt and support each other’s vocal parts.

Their performance was expressive, never shying away from embodying the honesty in their songwriting. At one point, during “Goldfish,” Alanna broke a guitar pick and regretted not having extras (her outfit had no pockets) – but Anton Seth came to the rescue and provided a spare. Other songs they played included “18,” about having a crush; “All Good,” which Alanna said was because it’s always all good, as she donned retro sunglasses; a cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” which they styled with gorgeous harmonies and got the crowd almost moshing; “Take Me Out,” with personal lyrics based on a diary entry; “Leo,” with its catchy pop chorus, and before which they mentioned they’re both Leo risings; “Dirty Dancing,” for which they told us we must dance, because this is the song where they lose it.

This show was a journey through three distinct songwriting styles with vastly different backgrounds and personalities – all of which share the common ground of expert storytelling with heartfelt sincerity, wrapped up in melodic verve and passion. These are three artists who each have something important to say, and exceptional voices with which to share it.

ON THE EDGE | Official Trailer, Poster, & Images

Jen & Sylvia Soska’s latest film ON THE EDGE makes Australian Premiere at MonsterFest.

Family man Peter (Aramis Sartorio) gets more than he paid for when he books a 36-hour session with the sadistic Mistress Satana (Jen Soska) who seems more intent on making him suffer for his sins. Is it blackmail? Is it torture? Or is it the Devil come for his soul? Will Peter’s faith save him from his own personal Hell or is he already damned? A brilliant depiction of how Kink Culture can heal past trauma and be a source for shocking redemption.

On the Edge stars Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska, who also share writing, directing and producing duties. The film also stars Aramis Sartorio, Ola Dada, Andrea Jin, Brianna and Alanna Finn-Morris, Ivan Decker, Mackenzie Gray, Sophie Buddle. The Soskas produced alongside Glenn Burchnall of Cathasaigh Productions, Luna Wolf of Disturbia Films, and Kevvy of GothMamba Productions.

On the Edge is set to make its Australian premiere at MonsterFest, welcoming the Soska Sisters back following the 2019 screening of Rabid, their remake of David Cronenberg's 1977 thriller.

On the Edge will screen November 26th at Cinema Nova in Melbourne and on December 9th at venues in Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide. Festival passes and screening tickets are now available.

SURPRISE! Jen & I had the sincere pleasure of getting to make our sixth feature film, third original, ON THE EDGE with some of the most talented people in the business! Huge thanks to Luna Wolf & Kevvy for being amazing producers. We have waited almost a decade to work with Aramis Sartorio who is an absolutely brilliant actor and one hell of a leading man. Have loved his work forever and was honored to have him star in the film. Much love to Jen who was a tremendous leading lady. Huge and humble thanks to the cast - Mackenzie Gray, Ivan Decker, Sophie Buddle, Andrea Jin, Ola Dada, and Brianne Finn-Morris & Alanna Finn Morris - some of the biggest talent in Canada coming together on this film! Alexi Johnson - your costumes were to die for! Luke Bentlay, thank you for your brilliant graphics! Mila Patriki, it is a privilege to have you on this film. We adore you and your work. Excited for our third time at glorious FrightFest to be with our third original film. After remaking a Cronenberg film we felt so inspired to make something a little more edgy than usual! “Embracing three World premieres, the line-up is headlined by The Soska Sisters latest venture, ON THE EDGE. Taking a departure from medical horror, Jen and Sylvia delve into new ground with this tantalising psychological erotic thriller. ‘The Twisted Twins’, who also star in the film, will be hosting the screening, alongside lead actor Aramis Sartorio.” https://frompage2screen.com/2022/09/29/frightfest-announce-film-and-guest-line-up-for-halloween-oct-29th-2022-event-incl-the-amazing-soska-sisters-in-attendance-frighfest-twisted_twins/ #ontheedge #horror #soskasisters https://www.instagram.com/p/CjHU4ZrrwTKWpNTQ53qOJdAJ8D2XZ0v5eVUaRs0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fionn – Close Talking (UNKLFNKL Remix) [EDM, Pop] Фантастически красивые канадские девушки-близняшки Alanna и Brianne Finn-Morris, выступающие и записывающие нежный фолк-поп под вывеской Fionn не раз поражали слушателей и критиков удивительно гармоничными мелодиями и интересной лирикой, напоминающей творчество Leonard Cohen , Joni Mitchell и хитмейкеров уровня Lorde и Hozier, и их сингл "Close Talking", как мне кажется, является лучшей демонстрацией их стиля, а EDM на него, записанный интересным европейским продюсером UNKLFNKL - одним из лучших эдитов этой весны.
