Nothing like a bunch of fuzzy shoegaze from a legend to help usher in the early hours of a Thursday morning. Pete Kember/Sonic Boom performed at the Waldorf Hotel as part of their electro experimental 3-D Fest and it was GOOD.

House dance music dude and producer SBTRKT (like, opposite of “add”) made his Vancouver debut at Fortune the other night and despite a few clunks, warmed up the sozzled nowhere-to-be-the-next-day late-night crowd.

What do you get when you put 2500 wasted kids in a crappy hangar with six toilets and a line up including 12th Planet, Knife Party and dubstep GOD of black-framed glasses SKRILLEX? A surprisingly good show, actually. Here’s video, words and point n’ shoot pics.

Twin Shadow and his amazin’ stylin’ headfuck of an ’80s sound was in Vancouver on September 28th at the Biltmore Cabaret and so was my camera. Check out the pics and hear his latest track “Changes”.

Darkly brilliant electro pioneers Death in Vegas return after a seven-year gap between albums with something strange and wonderful. Here, we celebrate their arrival by throwing in a few old stories of our own.

Energy domes! Whip it! Old men knobbly knees! Crazy new wave! Costume changes! Booji Boy! Yep, the ridiculous/awesome of DEVO hit town this past week, and it was absurd in all the right places. Check out the photos and video.

London’s exceptional beatboxer and looper Beardyman took on the drunkards at Fortune Sound Club in Vancouver on September 13, and won. Well, with most of us, anyway.

Superstar DJ Trentemøller from Denmark launched himself, his band, and a theremin player on the giddy, gleeful, dancin’ Vancouver fans this week as prep for his new tour. And it was blinding.

Vancouver’s alt-pop, robot-lovin’, future-livin’ Sex With Strangers release their third album “Frontier Justice” today, so to celebrate, we asked the band for some hot list action. I present to you, friends, some useful advice: Top 11 Clues Your Girlfriend is a Robot. Oh yes.
