Imagine the sound of Roy Orbison’s and Grace Slick’s spirits trekking an ageless forest outside of spacetime soundtracked in 60s’ psychedelic and 90s’ alternative, and you will find The Pxrtals (said “portals”) … The ‘x’ denotes the band’s spectrum-spanning, mysterious sound, where each song transports the listener through myriad portals, exploring everywhere from enigmatic, afternoon electronica, to mind-bending, midnite rock n’ roll, to delicate early-morning folk. Now with Berlin-based Ghost Palace Records (co-operated by celebrated filmmaker Wim Wenders), The Pxrtals have recently performed at Ness Creek, Gateway, Calgary’s BIG Winter Classic, La Fête Fransaskoise in Pike Lake, Saskatchewan, and Tallinn Music Week in Estonia. In 2021, The Pxrtals were nominated for Breakout West’s ‘Francophone Artist of the Year’. Lee Laborde, Senior Vice-President of AEG Booking, deemed The Pxrtals’ One Night album “a magnificent opus.”
