Australia’s own Tessa Pavilach — aka HOODLEM — had an EP release party at Toronto’s Drake Hotel on Wednesday (May 30th) as she mended a few hearts with her ingenious take on future R&B. The gig itself called attention to new recordings like “Funny Farm”, “Last Night”, and “Teenager” but it also brought together sounds from the corners of Brooklyn and Vancouver as it featured guest sets from GIMMEMAR and NANABCOOL. It made for a night that celebrated life, love, and the hidden meanings of happiness so check out our live stills above (via Maggie Elizabeth).
Hoodlem’s Teenager EP is out now on iTunes and Spotify; for shows + more, keep tabs on The Drake Underground
