Junior Boys on Tour
For more than two decades, alternative electric-pop group have been pioneering and redefining the electro-dance music space. Originally founded in 1999 by Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark, Junior Boys now consists of Greenspan and Matt Didemus. They are set to embark on their next tour in 2023, making stops across Canada and the United States. Inspired by '80s synth pop and post-disco, the group's experimental electronic, glitch-pop sound encompasses any venue they're at with an exciting and unique downbeat experience.
One concertgoer wrote, "Awesome show!! Been listening to Junior Boys for 10 years, waiting and waiting to see them in concert. They did not disappoint! I hope they come back soon!"
Junior Boys' first taste of success came from their 2003 singles "Birthday" and "High Come Down." After these hits, Junior Boys continued their epic music creation. Their first album, Last Exit (2004) was received extremely well, and was followed by their successful second album, So This is Goodbye (2006). The group's next albums were Begone Dull Care in 2009, It's All True in 2011 and Big Black Coat in 2016. Junior Boys released the single "Night Walk" in 2022, off their album Waiting Game.
After starting in Hamilton, Ontario in 1999, Junior Boys made a demo-tape that led to little or no success. Soon after, founding member Johnny Dark left the group. After Dark left, a Junior Boys demo was heard by Nick Kilroy, who signed them as the first artist on his KIN label. Greenspan then met his engineer, Matt Didemus, and the two created their hit singles "Birthday" and "High Come Down." The group maintained a loyal fanbase throughout the early ages of the internet, being written about extensively on a number of blogs. Their popularity was maintained throughout the early 2000s and into the 2010s with their song "So This is Goodbye" being featured in the hit HBO show "Looking" in 2015. The band maintains more than 100,000 monthly Spotify listeners with their most popular hits "Over it," "In The Morning," and "Parallel Lines" having a combined more than 15 million streams.
