5/10/24.

I'm going to guess that The Garrys don't sound like any other band ever to come out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They sound like a combination of 60s girl band with surf music. In fact, in the Bandcamp notes for "Get Thee to a Nunnery", their style is described as a combination of "The Ventures, the drama of Ennio Morricone’s spaghetti westerns, the dreamy psychedelia of Kurt Vile, France Gall’s brand of mod-pop cheek, and the lo-fi garage noir of Los Saicos."

I would add Electrelane and Barbara Manning to that description.

The Garrys are made of up of the three Maier sisters and they have releases going back to 2015. They have a new single, "Cakewalk" which may signal a new release in the future.

"Get Thee to a Nunnery" and many of their other releases are through Saskatoon label Grey Records (the label has also released work from Shirley & The Pyramids).

The Garrys - "Get Thee to a Nunnery" (2021)

[sxsw2013gg]

GG: The Garrys are 3 sisters (and an additional guy on guitar and keys). They all harmonize and have sort of a country-fied 60s girl-group sound. On the Swan Dive back patio.

September Song 15: "Get Thee To A Nunnery" by The Garrys

September 2021 | Song #15

Artist: The Garrys

Song: “Get Thee To A Nunnery“

How’s this for a strange bio line: “The Garrys are a trio of sisters from the coldest part of the landlocked Canadian prairies, and they make surf music.” “Get Thee To A Nunnery” is from their new record of the same great name which was just released this past Friday.

Listen: The Garry’s - ‘Makeout At The Drive-In’

Canadian sibling trio The Garrys deliver a precise slice of glistening Surf-pop in latest offering ‘Make Out At The Drive-In’, tremulous guitar licks are draped in subtle strings, framed by percussive backdrops and infused with The Garrys longing entwined vocal harmonies. This delectable song conjures up images of summers days of the past spent pulling up to Drive in with your date.

The Garrys are a trio of sisters from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada who play garage surf pop doo-wop. Their harmonies are dreamy and precise, and their instrumentation stays true to the likes of Dick Dale and early Beatles. Formed in the spring of 2015, The Garrys pull a strong influence from early reverb rock'n'roll and 1950s era vocal harmonies. If Ed Sullivan went on a date with the Shangri-Las, they would eat ice cream sandwiches and dance to the Garrys. Like father, like daughter(s). 

The Garrys are Erica Maier, Julie Maier, and Lenore Maier. The Garrys released their sophomore album, Surf Manitou, in Canada last year through Saskatoon label Grey Records. Surf Manitou is a concept LP written about the various places in the nostalgic prairie resort town of Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan. The album is more technical and more musically mature than their first effort,  raunchy and dreamy it comes with a gratuitous dose of beach sass. At the annual ‘M for Montreal’ festival, The Garrys received a number of positive reviews from music critics, The Garrys received multiple generous reviews and were cited amongst several critics in attendance as being amongst ‘The Best of M for Montreal’.
