BIO
With a fresh yet nostalgic perspective on alternative pop Montreal’s Caveboy root themselves in the timeless music of their parents’ generation and pack joyful energy into an unforgettable live set. The trio has built a strong fanbase with their electrifying performances at SXSW, Osheaga, the Pre-Grammy Celebration of Canadian Excellence, the JUNO Gala Awards, Halifax Pop Explosion, M for Montreal, and support for Japanese Breakfast, Tash Sultana, Ria Mae, Cub Sport, and Wintersleep. Their songs have been heard in Orange Is The New Black, Maid, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Twenty Somethings: Austin, Big Sky, The New Romantic, Killjoys, Happiest Season, and Jump, Darling.
Since the release of their debut album, Night in the Park, Kiss in the Dark, the band celebrated sold-out shows in both Toronto and Montreal, were one of 30 featured artists at Midem's 2020 Digital Edition Talent Exporter, and their single "Silk For Gold" was one of 10 songs chosen (out of 400 entries across the globe) for the A&R Playback Session. They released a Bright Light Bright Light remix of their track "Obsessed", and capped off 2020 with a sync placement of their first-ever holiday single "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" in the film Happiest Season. The debut album features the heavily playlisted single "Landslide" (over 1 million on Spotify), summer jam "I Wonder", and #1 single "Hide Your Love". Producer Derek Hoffman garnered a 2020 Jack Richardson Producer Of The Year JUNO nom for his work on the single "Hide Your Love".

“What makes this trio so compelling is their focus on pulling in (and reinventing) the pop forebearers of the past, present, and future.” - Beatroute
“The indie pop trio play like rock stars mixing cool 80s, dance, and alt-pop, and almost always rip a good cover song or two in their own fashion.” - APT 613
“Canadian outfit preview their new album with this smooth and sensual Little Dragon-inspired groove” - Mystic Sons
“This is one show you definitely don’t want to miss!” - Indie 88
"Electro-pop with retro sounds is an easy description for this, but the best old-school trait is the hard-earned quality in the songwriting, each track offering substance plus hooks. There's still room for a little dance floor euphoria too, "Landslide" just a joy start to finish. This is a band to love." - Top 100 Canadian
