Stars Align for Young Galaxy’s Appearance at the Echo

Touring is the hardest part of the job, logistically, for Montreal’s Young Galaxy. The band is comprised of partners Catherine McCandless and Stephen Ramsay, and unofficially their two children. The band can’t take the kids when they travel cross-continent, so they are currently staying in British Columbia with a relative, dropped off just before the tour kicked off in Vancouver. Their dates are limited, which should make us feel lucky that they stopped on the west coast at all, but their expectations remained low for turnout. They were profusely thankful to realize people showed up and, on top of that, everyone had a great time.
