SHY FRiEND

Calgary, AB

Brutally honest, tragically dramatic, and full of feminine rage, alt rock six-piece SHY FRiEND has been turning the Alberta music scene into a church for all the queer, pop and punk misfits. They create over-the-top experiences with bombastic visuals, absurd bits, and raucous energy that makes every venue a party, and every oddball in the room a valued guest.

 Sarah Tudzin stands in an urban alleyway lined with tall brick buildings and fire escapes, their hands lifted behind their head. Soft, warm light falls across the scene, highlighting the contrast between the dark sweatshirt they’re wearing and the textured architecture surrounding them.

 Five members of Weedrat stand together on a sunny residential street, framed by trees, bushes, and houses in the background. They wear casual graphic T‑shirts and jeans, posing in a relaxed group formation on the sidewalk.
