Ok, reveal time… drum roll please!

It’s “Dancing With The Moonlight” by Hotel Mira, one of the most played on our station.

If you weren’t familiar with this song, don’t worry, I think it is still relatively new. Alright, let me talk a bit about the band. Hotel Mira is a Canadian alternative rock band from Vancouver. They were formerly known as JPNSGRLS (Japanese Girls), and they formed in 2010, they had another name before that, called Beauties, but that had some name conflict, so they chose JPNSGRLS. They rebranded in 2018 and changed their name to Hotel Mira. Another interesting fact, all the band members are from Vancouver. Woohoo! Go Vancouver Go!

There are currently four active members in the band. Charlie Kerr is the vocalist, Mike Noble is the bassist, Clark Grieve is the guitarist and keyboardist, Cole George is the drummer. Reviewing their discography, when they were still JPNSGRLS, they released one EP, The Sharkweek (2013) and two albums, Circulation (2014) and Divorce (2016). After they rebranded to Hotel Mira, they released an EP Hotel Mira (2018) and an album Perfectionism (2020). Perfectionism (2020) was released on Valentine’s Day, and it was produced by Eric Ratz. Eric Ratz is a Canadian producer, and he has won multiple Juno and Grammy Awards.

Let’s listen to another song from them, “Fever Pitch”:

You can stream their album on Spotify. They have quite a few catchy songs in there, maybe you will find one that you can jam to.

Help Hotel Mira reach 4k subscribers on their YouTube channel.
