Ribbon Skirt w/ Cryptozoologists & Dual Nature - Winterruption YEG 2026

Winterruption YEG welcomes Montreal-based post-punk band Ribbon Skirt. Led by Anishinaabe musician Tashiina Buswa and guitarist Billy Riley, their sound is raw and enveloping, channeling angular guitars, driving rhythms, and lyrical threads that explore memory, love, grief, and Buswa’s relationship to her Indigenous heritage. Their debut album, Bite Down (Mint Records, April 2025), was met with critical acclaim and quickly established Ribbon Skirt as one of the most compelling new voices in indie music – earning Stereogum’s Album of the Week and a shortlist nomination for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize.

Catch them on Starlite Room's Temple Stage Friday Jan 23 along side Whitehorse's Cryptozoologists and locals Dual Nature.
