Vancouver based Sur Une Plage recently celebrated their debut album release of Legerdemain to a packed house at The Lido. Their music is the perfect mixture of cold Soft Cell style synth pop + 60s psychedelic.

Vapid is Vancouver classic dirty power pop/fast punk with a bajillion hooks. Songs about sex + friends sung by sisters + members of Defektors/guitar virtuoso Ben Phillips.

Girlfriends and Boyfriends are John Hughes movie style heart-throbs singing jangly indie guitar pop, strongly suspected to be influenced by The Smiths + The Cure.
