THINK ABOUT LIFE

“A black guy, a hipster, a polar bear and an albino”, that’s how Think About Life describes itself. Think About Life is one of Montreal’s hippest bands of the moment, and their energetic pop makes dance floors shake with Casios gone haywire and edgy beats.

HANDSOME FURS

Wolf Parade’s Dan Boeckner has energy and inspiration to spare, so he set up a second band with his wife Alexei Perry. Under the name Handsome Furs, the duo combine rattling electric guitars with synths and a drum machine. According to Flemish weekly Humo, “their songs excel in the sort of less is more ingenuity that we have come to know from their examples Liars and Sun O)))”.
