Celebrating 20 years of music, Toronto\u2019s Bedouin Soundclash is coming to the Capital Ballroom this December for the second night of their Canadian tour. After the re-release of their 2004 album, Sounding a Mosaic<\/i>, the band is bringing their sound back to the stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bedouin Soundclash\u2019s hiatus lasted a little longer than intended. The band took a break in 2011, returning to the studio in 2018 to record their album Mass<\/i> in New Orleans, Louisiana with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. They began playing shows again following the release of Mass<\/i>, in 2019, until COVID hit. They\u2019ve now returned to the stage again, first in the UK with a tour they recently finished and now with their upcoming Canadian tour.<\/p>\n

Hearing about people\u2019s experiences at shows is something vocalist\/guitarist Jay Malinowski enjoys about touring. He says he goes into the audience to talk with fans after every show. Over time, Malinowski has even become acquainted with some fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the UK, there was a family that came out, Alex Star, a fan of ours, who passed away and played \u2018When the Night Feels My Song\u2019 at his funeral. They played it while they took his coffin down the aisle, and his whole family came out in Birmingham. I actually had met Alex a few times from when he was 14 years old, like way back in 2006,\u201d says Malinowski. \u201cSo, there\u2019s moments like that that make it really kind of, makes me realize what\u2019s important about what we do and what isn\u2019t. I\u2019ve kind of an indescribable feeling of being really humbled, and I mean all the emotions, but grateful that we got to be a part of some other people\u2019s lives in this way, because we don\u2019t take it for granted at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

After 20 years of putting out music, Malinowski also says the crowd is slowly getting younger. Some newer fans are coming with their parents who have been longtime fans; others heard Bedouin Soundclash from a surprising source.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when we were playing Toronto, [a] couple kids came up, and they knew \u2018When The Night Feels My Song\u2019 because of CBC Kids. They knew it as children, but they actually had no idea that we were the same band. They\u2019d only heard us through Mass<\/i>, the record we did in New Orleans,\u201d says Malinowski.<\/p>\n

In music there are different trajectories one can take. Starting in university, bassist Eon Sinclair and Malinowski immersed themselves in the music they wanted to create. From there, the sounds flowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just got ourselves so wrapped up into the world that we wanted to live in, which was like \u201980s, ska, and punk, and jungle, and drum and bass music. And we had all these influences, but we had no idea what was going on around us,\u201d says Malinowski, \u201cAnd then everything flowed from that. And I think if you\u2019re going to be an artist who writes your own music and wants to have that kind of identity, then that\u2019s the way to start. And then everything can flow from it once you have that kind of core value or vision from your music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not taking anything too personally is a lesson that Malinowski works on every day and advises other creatives to do also.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like you\u2019re going to do something very personal, that you\u2019re going to present it to the world, and there\u2019s going to be rejection of some kind,\u201d says Malinowski. \u201cAnd so, it\u2019s easy to forget that there is a ton of positivity out there in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
