What is this about?

I started this blog because I wanted to give something back to the constantly growing and passionate electronic/indie music scene in Victoria, B.C. Here you'll find local artist & show information, pictures, music, clothing, art and anything related to our scene in Victoria or Vancouver...

So I saw MSTRKRFT in December...

I probably should've mentioned it at the time but I was pretty tired from Christmas and it's material havoc that it was wreaking on me..

MSTKRFT is an electro house duo from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, signed to Last Gang Records. Jesse F. Keeler, formerly of Death from Above 1979 & AL-P (Alex Puodziukas) formerly of the electropop group Girlsareshort, started MSTRKRFT in 2005. On July 18th, 2006, they released "The Looks". (which I own and it rocks, literally). MSTRKRFT has done remixes for such artists as All Saints, Annie, Bloc Party, Chromeo, Justice, Kylie Minogue, Metric and Wolfmother.

Just this last September, they performed their remix of "Woman" by Wolfmother live, in Brisbane, at 'Parklife', an Australian music festival. Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale came on stage and sang live, while MSTRKRFT performed the remix. Amazing.

I saw them at Celebrities in Van. They played alot harder than what I was expecting, but none the less it was still pretty awesome. The actually look like total gangsters, with thier matching caps and porn star moustaches. I was hoping to see them in their hockey masks but did not get such a privilege.

If you wanna see the pictures I took at MSTRKRFT in Vancouver, ==> Part 1, Part 2.
