WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM A LIVE SHOW:

Reviews of shows opening for Owen Pallett in 2010:
“This native Toronto outfit offered Aeolians a pithy set of quirky and quaint, nature-inspired numbers guilty of warming one’s soul and moving one to whimsy.Plucking a guitar equipped with deer antlers, lead singer Daniela Gesundheit showcased her sparrow’s trill while partner, Dan Misha Goldman, filled in the gaps. The duo’s second air, “Rut and Nuzzle,” exhibited soft Feistian vocal lines punctuated by a hooky bird-watcher’s call and employed the front row of the audience in ringing a long string of bells at the precise moment.” ---The London Gazette
“Often, the opening band is simply tolerated and seen as that final obstacle before your favourite band comes on. I believe Snowblink was playing to a room a full of converts by the end of their set. Leading lady, Daniela Gesundheit effortlessly filled the room with her compelling and flawless voice. Each song seemed like a carefully crafted, musical poem placed lightly over top of loops, reverby guitars, keyboard and subtle back-up vocals.” ---Monday Through Monday, London, ON
“Their songs are mysterious and inviting, with Gesundheit’s eerily beautiful voice sounding almost mermaid-like. As excited as I was for Owen Pallet to take the stage, I didn’t want Snowblink’s set to end. . . . these avant-garde folkies masterfully staged a sophisticated and stylishly layered music, acting as a perfect accessory to Pallett’s bill.” -- The Beat, London, ON
“Utterly Beguiling.”--Chromewaves, Toronto, ON
