Vancouver's resident dance-punk savants You Say Party! We Say Die! are a catalyst on the edge of a scene brimming towards explosion; hybridised, mechanised, philosophising machines that have learned self-awareness and found their soul. They're among us, androids slowly infiltrating all of our most trusted institutions. Today the dance-punk scene. Tomorrow the Capital. Start hoarding supplies.
Everything Julie Doiron has done in the past came together on her 1999 Sappy Records full-length "Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars". It is the first album she has recorded with a band since her days with Eric's Trip. The delicately powerful effect of the Wooden Stars has given Julie's songs an intensity and vibrancy that was previously only hinted at. Julie won a Juno for "Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars".
Created in the mountains of Colorado and now based in San Francisco, Heavyweight Dub Champion is firmly rooted in Hip Hop, Dancehall, Dub and Electronic music. They are one of the most exciting live PA performances in the world.
The Heavyweight Dub Champion experience is like no other musical liberation movement. A live mix on 50 channels of audio featuring 3 shamanistic sonic alchemists - Resurrector, Patch and Totter Todd. Their passion is powerfully represented in music, words, visual art, and video.
Through the use of ancient divination practices and sonic vibration, HDC+ brings the audience into a hypnotic trance that opens channels and empowers the listener. While in this state, HDC+ infiltrates minds and removes layers of deception, thus enabling Truth to flourish.
This collective artistic performance is called the Liberation Process.
