The Meringues

A Meringues show is must-see, as the band tears through each song, balancing between a great performance, and one that seems in constant danger of going off the rails.

At the core of this Kingston, Ontario based group, are the dueling lead vocals of Amanda Pants and Ted Evans. They have a torrid, almost theatrically manic partnership, infused with a bubbling, broiling tension that gives each stage performance a delightful unpredictability and emotional intensity that entrances and enthralls audiences.

There is more than just random chaos though. There is a focused energy, enveloped around songs that possess catchy, memorable melodies and lyrical sentiments that are bitingly fierce, striking to the core of relationship dysfunction and the prevalence of self-doubt and darkness that exist within so many of us.
