Last Waltzon

Radioactive Vampire Teeth Experimental noise duo Radioactive Vampire Teeth conjure up a radioactive storm of synth punk riding no wave. Marinated in the toxic sludge of Alberta wastelands, this pair of rotten teeth pummels you with distorted vocals, intense drum workouts and neon-glazed skronky noise. It’s dystopian music for a dystopian party, and everyone’s invited. Bog Bodies Cryptic no wave/synth-punk duo is known for some of the fiercest live sets in Calgary. Inspired by the vile and grotesque, the pair rips through brief but overpowering sets that simply beg for ear protection and a dark sense of humour. Tracks like “Scythe On Sour Flesh” and “Meat Who Cannot Be Named” from latest album P​.​L​.​A​.​Y​.​T​.​H​.​I​.​N​.​G. are a great taste of what you’re in for. Last Waltzon With track titles like “Fat Piss” and “I Can't Cook,” Montreal art rock weirdos Last Waltzon are out to have fun while delivering frenetic motorik grooves. Having cut their teeth playing tirelessly in the DIY circuit, the band has honed their post-punk snarl into a madcap sound influenced equally by CAN and The Velvet Underground. Burro A performance from enigmatic drone trio Burro is a special thing. This noise-rock monster rears its head at the most unpredictable times, summoning a blackhole of experimental kosmische chaos that threatens to engulf the scene every single time. Explore the darker side of psychedelia when Burro emerges once more.
