Vancouver has this tendency to breed genre busting iconoclasts. Skinny Puppy, Neko Case and now, LongWalkShortDock.
A Longwalkshortdock show is quite unlike anything else. More synths than an Emerson Lake and Palmer concert, more flying hair than the Wizard Of Oz and louder than anything else out there.
Acid slams into techno slams into electro which then gets broadsided by breaks and house that were driving a pick up truck full of happiness. There remains no more positivity inducing a thing in life than a LWSD show, simply because you’re going to dance and then keep dancing.
He’s got a new album due out, a follow up album to 2009′s “Casual Tea” entitled “Bigger Fish Frying” and it’s guaranteed to explode your brain. Seriously. With legendary visuals guy Tim Hill now helping to reinforce the live LWSD experience as well, you can expect lots of touring, lot of people in costumes and lots of inflatable things. Why? Because that’s the way it is, just be careful not to have your eye taken out by a sparkler at the end of the show, you’ll want to be able to see the entire thing.
