Vancouver BC, Canada (2008 - Present)
It’s a story that’s almost too good to be true. The story of Young Liars began on a particularly cold winter afternoon in an Algerian basement bar tucked underneath the streets of Paris. Long before they rocked the effervescent rhythms of the Canadian band’s electrically angular, dance-in-your-underwear EP, Homesick Future, a bit of serendipity brought these five minds together.
Riots had split Paris in half, as hooded protesters threw Molotov cocktails at police officers, and the stink of tear gas wafted through the air. Backpackers Jordan Raine and Wesley Nickel ducked out of the cold—nothing like what they felt in their hometown of Vancouver—taking refuge downstairs in the darkened bar. In a corner booth, they heard the familiar sound of Canadian English—a contrast to the shouts and sirens outside—and there they sat down with three other Vancouverites, waiting out the war of discontent that lay beyond the bar door. Ty Badali, Andrew Beck and Angelo Ismirnioglou, who were squatting in a vacant apartment after their student visas expired, bought drinks for the two travelers, and while Paris burned, Young Liars began over beers and dreams.
These musicians talked of the sounds they heard in their heads and bonded over the rock bands that could ignite the dance floors without posturing or being cheesy.
