Mindil Beach

For a group with a complex list of influences, Mindil Beach is simply named after a coastline in Darwin, Australia. Cam Ainslie (drums), Rod Campbell (vocals/keys), Pat Codere (vocals/guitar) and Matt Posnikoff (bass/guitar) captured listeners with the release of their self-titled debut in 2010. Jared Gauthier of The Uniter (Winnipeg) described the album as "nothing short of musical universality." The band toured the album around western Canada and the USA.

Mindil Beach originally formed in 2008 as a five-piece with two lead singers, Daniel Kingsbury and Pat Codere. Their distinct styles gave the band a free attitude towards writing, allowing them to express themselves over a wide range of genres. This ability to adapt enabled them to play with acts ranging from Nazareth to Bedouin Soundclash to Del the Funky Homosapien. Since the release of their latest record, It Might Take Long (March 2013), Mindil Beach have been aggressively touring the Canadian bar, festival and school circuits.
