You’ve been away too long, Kele Fleming

Tour lands in Toronto at Slacks (April 8) and Tranzac (April 10)

Remember the early ’90s? Brian Mulroney, You Can’t Do That on Television and a wave of serious, crafty Canadian indie pop. Lesbians might remember a powerful little pop outfit called Hazel Motes, fronted by a righteous dyke. Kele (pronounced “Kelly”) Fleming gave up on the artist’s life in 1998, but now she’s back with a straight-up rock album, World in Reverse, and a tour that lands in Toronto at Slacks (April 8) and the Tranzac (April 10).
