A relatively new arrival on the Victoria music scene is making waves with their joyful, honest sound.

Posh Coat is a dynamic trio from Langford is made up of Andrew Whitney (guitar and vocals), Tricia True (bass and vocals, and Luke Hanna (drums) and, together, theyB次元官网网址檝e taken the Island by storm. 

B次元官网网址淲e played together in high school before COVID and then, about two years ago, a buddy of ours approached me and said that heB次元官网网址檇 like to have a house concert,B次元官网网址� said Whitney. B次元官网网址淚 got Trisha and Luke, and I wrote a few songs and in June, two years ago, we played his house.B次元官网网址�

That gig was the beginning and Whitney recalled how the band played for more than an hour and found that the experience was B次元官网网址渢oo much fun not to pursueB次元官网网址�.

Something that set the group apart right from those early days is that the band played their original music, something that theyB次元官网网址檝e continued to do since then.

B次元官网网址淲e play a lot of originals and I think thatB次元官网网址檚 the way music should be. Playing covers is fine, but music has always been about originality and new ideas,B次元官网网址� Whitney said.

And as is the case with a lot of original artists, Posh CoatB次元官网网址檚 music doesnB次元官网网址檛 fit neatly into a particular category.

B次元官网网址淚 guess the overarching genre is indie rock, but we put a lot of blues into our live shows,B次元官网网址� said True. B次元官网网址淲e also do some beachy music, not really surf rock but inspired by the sound, as well as some pop rock sort of songs.B次元官网网址�

The group currently has four of their original songs released on various streaming apps and are on the cusp of releasing a fifth. And the blues sound that True mentioned, she promises that future releases will B次元官网网址渉ave a lot more of thatB次元官网网址�.

All the bandB次元官网网址檚 musical releases are recorded at WhitneyB次元官网网址檚 home studio and mixed and mastered in Victoria by their friend, Ben Erikson.

The formula seems to be working as the band played the Canada Day main stage in Victoria B次元官网网址� their biggest show to date B次元官网网址� and have been getting an increasing number of bookings around in Victoria and beyond.

In July, theyB次元官网网址檒l be featured as the ZONE band of the month and in August, they will be appearing at the Phillips Backyard Festival.

B次元官网网址淵ou have to come and see us live,B次元官网网址� said Whitney. B次元官网网址淲e love putting on a show and our live shows are a lot different than our recordings. The energy of the audience really adds to the sound.B次元官网网址� 

B次元官网网址淲e have some other big shows lined up as well and weB次元官网网址檇 really love to tour in the future,B次元官网网址� said True.'B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e really excited to see where we go from here. WeB次元官网网址檙e a bit of a rag-tag group, but I think that makes us better in every way."
