With a genuine focus on originality, Little House welcomes the unique
talent that comes with every musician. Shaped by five close friends,
all with different musical backgrounds, Little House’s sound can only
be described as “good times." Forming by chance in the spring of 2010,
their collective approach to songwriting has resulted in a vast
repertoire of original songs and a very busy live schedule that has
seen them share the stage with This Hisses, Cannon Bros, Olenka & The
Autumn Lovers and Paper Lions.
In March 2011, Little House released their long-awaited debut EP
'Right Arm' on I'm Trying Records. The EP was recorded in late October
of 2010 at the Brewhouse, a large house in Winnipeg, MB where the band
was living at the time. The result was a raw and energetic blend of
catchy sing alongs, intense jam sections and soaring trumpet melodies.
The band's greatest attribute though, is their captivating and dynamic
live performance that will leave you wanting much more!
The band just finished recording their debut album at their studio in
Matlock, and plan to release the album in the summer of 2012.

Soulful, laid back, and downright genius are just some of the ways to
describe Malcolm-Jamal Wilson (Malcolm-Jay) and Daniel Caneda (DJ
Envoy), the fresh young faces behind the classic yet original sound
gaining ground in Winnipeg, MB.  While a hip-hop vibe remains
prominent in their music, the duo pride themselves in drawing from
generations older than their ages combined.  With artists like The
Temptations, Bobby Caldwell, Bill Withers, and Stevie Wonder, these
musical inspirations create a perfect balance between the old school
flavour and modern day appeal that continues to win over both hip-hop
and jazz enthusiasts alike.

Playing music with a sense of urgency and sophistication well beyond their
years, it is tempting to place bets on just how far their remarkable talent
will lead this band. With expert level proficiency on their instruments,
compelling lyrics, ridiculously catchy melodies and great songs the sky is
most certainly the limit. Think Pavement meets Yo La Tengo or early
Replacements meets an edgier, less religious version of the Carpenters.
Long listed for the 2012 Polaris Prize.
“Cannon Bros' album Firecracker/Cloudglow is not about the singles. It's
almost not even about the sound. It's about the album, start to finish, as a
fleecy, whole-felt thing. It's pure teenager, it's as important as anything
was as a teenager. It's lovely.
