aniqa dear + friends
with Unsociably High & Unas Escondidas
at LIVE! on Elgin

aniqa dear:
aniqa dear is a Toronto-based experimental art pop project rooted in queerness, diasporic identity, grief, and the eternal interplay between belonging and isolation. aniqa dear weaves her intricate melodic sensibilities with ever-shifting synth-infused textures and polyrhythms, resulting in danceable music interlaced with stark vulnerability. Her music is striking and heady, incisive and heavy. She asks intently if you have ever danced into your own abyss, and she invites you in.

Unsociably High:
Unsociably High is a four-piece ensemble from Ottawa, Canada whose sounds of dream pop will take you from laying in the grass on a sunny day to sitting alone in a dark room contemplating life. Seasoned with sparkling vocals, funk progressions, and loop stations, Unsociably High presents a new wave of melodies that reduce the speed of heart beats.

Unas Escondidas:
Uñas Escondidas is an emerging indie folk duet, based in Montréal, fronted by Honduran singer-songwriter Daniela Rivera-Servellón, and accompanied by bouzouki player and producer Eeva Chevalier.
The band plays an energetic banjo driven sound, willingly dancy, sparkled with dreamy and cinematic incursions. With rhythms inspired in traditional Latin-American music and 2000’s emo, Uñas Escondidas offers a folk character endowed with a modern intensity.
Their debut self-titled album was released in September 2022, followed by a live album released in 2024, available on all streaming platforms. Their next E.P. “Venues Escorpión” is currently cooking up, tentatively scheduled for release in January 2026.
A bold and ambitious pair, they are devoted to their craft, and industriously working to bring forth their artistic vision.
